THE MATCH
A victory was needed to continue dreaming of Champions League qualification and Lazio, thanks to the rediscovered Zaccagni, the great ex together with Tudor, did not betray expectations by beating Verona 1-0 and taking themselves, awaiting the matches in Rome and Atalanta, to 3 points from fifth place to participate in next year’s top continental event. The Lazio coach tries the surprise effect by deploying Isaksen wide on the right and confirms Castellanos up front after the brace against Juventus while Baroni relies on Swiderski to try to undermine the Lazio defense. The tactical script is clear from the start with Lazio playing the game and Verona taking advantage of the counterattacks. The start was immediately thrilling with Guendouzi trying from the edge, without success, and Noslin responding from the other end, with the same outcome. As the minutes pass, the pace drops, Lazio finds no outlets, the maneuver is not as fluid as on the best evenings and the match thrives on flare-ups. The draw seems to satisfy Verona, minus the Biancocelesti who have a good opportunity with Isaksen but his left foot finds Montipò’s foot to block their path.

The best opportunity, however, came to Baroni’s team; Mandas comes out empty, Noslin heads it to Swiderski who, with an empty net, chokes the left foot and sends it out. The second half opens with the same protagonists as the first 45 minutes, but it is Lazio’s attitude that changes; Tudor’s scolding immediately had its effects with a great right-foot shot from Felipe Anderson, Montipò couldn’t reach it but the crossbar came between the Brazilian and the net, which rejected the ball, choking the winger’s scream in his throat. Shortly afterwards Luis Alberto tries to imitate him, again with the right but still without luck. Lazio pushes, the Biancocelesti know that a victory would allow them to dream of the Champions League again. Tudor decides that it is time to come from the bench by choosing Zaccagni and Pedro for Isaksen and Casale, Baroni responds with Duda and Suslov. The winning move, however, is that of the Croatian; after Pedro and Castellanos devoured the possible advantage, the match unblocked on the Luis Alberto-Zaccagni axis with the new substitute taking Lazio forward by scoring the 1-0 and confirming that, after the goal in the first leg, the law Don’t make any concessions about your ex. The Biancocelesti managed until the 90th minute, with Mandas saving the result, and brought home three points which allowed Tudor’s team to continue dreaming of a Champions League that would have the flavor of an achievement.
