The news
The game
Change everything to not change anything. Lazio and Juventus study, fight, try to overcome but in the end they impact on 1-1 both remaining on equal points in fourth place in the standings. A tie that is gradually served for both, but which keeps both still in the race for the Champions League favoring, calendar in hand, the Bianconeri of Tudor to whom revenge is unable to, savored until the last thanks to Kolo Muani’s head goal, but denied by the Tap-in of Vecino in time now practically expired (at 96 ‘).
There is “international” air at the Olimpico. And not only because there are the champions of Tennis Alcaraz, Paul and Opelka, engaged in the Roman master, together with Venus Williams, but above all for the mail offered by the challenge between Lazio and Juventus, practically a champion Champions League seen that the two teams are now fourth in the standings with 64 points two days from the end. Baroni chooses to surprise renouncing the double center forward that he had done so well by leaving on the bench Dia to launch dele-Bashiru while on the other side Tudor focuses on Kolo Muani onwards together with Nico Gonzalez. The match, as expected, is not spectacular, too much to lose for both and too little to earn to immediately launch to the assault of the opposing area. Lazio tries to leave fast, Juventus is more compassy. The only emotions are a conclusion by Alberto Costa, after Mandas’ Smanacciacciata, which Gila rejects a few meters from the goal line and, on the other hand, a cross shot by Isaksen with Di Gregorio who frees without too many worries. If the first half gives little or nothing, however, the recovery is immediately vibrant. Tudor inserts Conceicao for Nico Gonzalez trying to give more liveliness to the attack.
And 6 minutes are enough for McKennie’s flicker who goes to the left, crosses in the area and finds Kolo Muani, left too free from the Lazio defense, which can hit the head by giving the bianconeri the advantage. Baroni tries to run for cover by removing Isaksen and dele-Bashu for Pedro and Dia. But the real turning point, for Lazio, comes from Kalulu’s madness who, on the pressing of Castellanos, trims a manta to the Lazio striker: Massa is recalled by the Var and extracts the red for the defender Juventus with the bianconeri to play more than half an hour in numerical inferiority. The expulsion loads Lazio who, however, cannot produce goals, except for the corner kick on which he gila detaches but of Gregory to block without worries, and Pedro’s accident from the edge that flies the crossbar. The Lazio efforts, however, are rewarded when everything seems to be lost now: Savona loses a bloody ball, Castellanos slinging on the ball before being lying by Di Gregorio. Massa indicates the penalty, but the mockery is around the corner because the VAR detects an offside of the Argentine by canceling everything and leaving the bitterness in the mouth of Lazio. The biancocelesti are deliberated and mocked, they still throw forward but the dreams break on the Palo di Dia. When Tudor’s revenge is now ready to be served, however, here Vecino finds the right flicker by throwing Di Gregorio’s rejection on the net who leaves everything unchanged and postpones the Champions League struggle – Rome allowing – to the last two days.
