Genoa Lazio 0-1, victory in a European key
Lazio beats Genoa 1-0 in the match at Marassi, valid for the thirty-third day of the 2023/2024 Serie A championship: a goal from Luis Alberto decides.
The match
Ready to go and De Winter immediately makes a mistake by giving the ball to Castellanos, who miscontrols and fails to kick. The reaction of the rossoblù is immediate with Ekuban who, instead of serving Retegui in a good position, ends up hitting the outside of the net.
After a lively start to the match, the pace slowed down considerably and the two teams struggled to create scoring opportunities. The Biancocelesti try to rely on Felipe Anderson, who in the 27th minute beats Vogliacco and goes for a shot, but misses the target. In the 36th minute Igor Tudor loses Lazzari due to injury and is forced to be replaced. Hysaj enters the field in place of the former Spal player.
Good first half finish from Gilardino’s men, who become dangerous with De Winter and Vasquez, but their shots lack precision. A few seconds before the break the Ligurian team came close to taking the lead, but Ekuban was selfish and wasted a great opportunity. At half-time the score was 0-0.
The recovery
In the second half Lazio entered the field with a different attitude, coming very close to scoring the lead in the 61st minute with Felipe Anderson, on whose conclusion Martin’s intervention was decisive. The time was ripe for the Biancocelesti to take the lead, which came in the 67th minute: great verticalization by Felipe Anderson for Kamada, who provided the assist for Luis Alberto, who did well to deposit the ball at the bottom of the bag.
Genoa tries to rely on substitutions to regain the match, but the arrivals of Badelj and Akenye fail to make an impact. In the final, the rossoblù tried to go after the equalizer, but the Romans repelled any offensive. Lazio, therefore, prevailed 1-0 and brought home its second consecutive victory, climbing to sixth place with 52 points and relaunching itself in a European key; Genoa, however, remains twelfth at 39.
