Sarri’s team goes ahead with Pedro’s penalty and Taylor’s goal, but then the rossoblù regain it with Malinovskyi (again from the spot) and Vitinha. Then Ostigaard’s hands in the final
The scream in the silence is that of the captain of the Lazio Cataldiwho – as with Torino – scored the penalty (the third) of a match decided entirely in the second half at the end of time. In a deserted stadium (5000 spectators for the strike against Lotito) Lazio twice ahead and joined by Genoamanages to return to success precisely in the last of the seven minutes of added time thanks to the ice Cataldiperfect from the spot when time expired. A joy for Sarri and his crew: without Romagnoli (not called due to market events) e Zaccagni injured at the last moment, he took the lead twice but was caught back.
It all happens in the second half. Lazio take the lead: in the 7th minute they get a penalty awarded after a VAR check for a handball in the penalty area Martin on the rebound between The Isaac e Ostigard. From the diskette Pedro it is a sentence. Genoa goes down and ten minutes later a hit of the same Martin, Isaac he goes away and offers it to Taylor who on the right scores his first goal in Serie A. But the Genoa never dies. Malinovskyi he tries from outside the area, Gila hits with his arm, another VAR control, second penalty that the Ukrainian scores. Malinovskyi again hits the post half an hour from the flag, on the rebound the Lazio defense is asleep and in a bad situation and Vitinha equalises. Everything seems to have been decided, but in the last of the seven minutes of injury time, on a cross into the Genoa area, Ostigard goes with his arm to counter Ratkov and Zufferli goes to the monitor for the third time and concedes the penalty. Cataldi is a mongoose, he hits and wins a match decided by VAR.
