Verona stops, defeated 1-0 by Lazio. At the Olimpico, Zaccagni’s goal decides. Hellas remains at 31 points, awaiting the results of direct competitors in the fight for salvation. Next round, Sunday at Bentegodi, with Fiorentina.
Swiderski inaccurate
In Verona, in defence, ahead of Montipò, confirmation for the pair formed by Magnani and Coppola. On the right Tchatchoua, on the left Cabal. In midfield, Duda starts on the bench, with Serdar having Folorunsho at his side. In attack, the reference is Swiderski, with Mitrovic, Noslin and Lazovic in support. We start with Verona who contains and tries the conclusion with Noslin: ball on the bottom. Then Lazio takes control of the match, increasing the pressure on Hellas. Montipò is attentive and counters Isaksen’s attempt with his foot. Verona controls and doesn’t retreat, they have a very good opportunity with Swiderski, who can kick into an empty net after a poor exit from Mandas but is inaccurate. The match proceeds with balance, 0-0 at half-time.
The ex’s goal
At the start of the second half, Lazio charges and hits the crossbar with Felipe Anderson, with Montipò’s decisive deviation. Then Luis Alberto kicks high from a good position. Hellas struggles, Lazio charges forward. Changes on both sides: Isaksen and Casale out for Pedro and Zaccagni in Lazio, Duda and Suslov come in for Verona, Mitrovic and Swiderski leave. Lazio have a sensational chance with Pedro but he doesn’t find the target from a short distance, after Montipò responds on Castellanos. Hellas can’t resist any longer and the former Zaccagni scores the goal in the 27th minute. Verona tries to respond, Coppola comes close to equalising, with Mandas responding with a complicated save. Shortly afterwards, Pedro hits the outside post with a free kick. In Hellas there is Henry for Folorunsho. The result does not change.
