ROME – A historical night, suffered, of dream, shout. Twenty years after Lazio play the eighths again Champions. It will do so thanks to the suffered 2-2 won at the Olympics against Used. A game that the biancocelesti dominated for long stretches and that was complicated only in the final with a sensational crossbar from the guests in the 93rd minute. It matters little because at the triple whistle Inzaghi he can rejoice with his team: in 1999 and 2000 the current coach was on the field, today he is enjoying qualification from the bench. It is also a celebration for Immobile, who continues to score for the ninth consecutive game (he surpassed Fulvio Bernardini’s record that lasted almost a hundred years) and belt, protagonists of rating networks.
In the sign of Cyrus
The game is fairly balanced in the first phase. Lazio manages without risking back, the Used Try to stay steady without backing up too far. The first opportunity is Milinkovic he headed in in minute 5 but his conclusion was too weak to care Mignolet. The guests are very aggressive and the yellow in Sobol after a few moments is the confirmation. The balance is broken at 12 ‘thanks to a great invention by Correa who first with a veil sends the Belgian defense into a tailspin, and then ends after the short rejected by Mignolet in shot of Luis Alberto. The Argentine forward plays an encore a few moments after the advantage but his conclusion does not find the expected fortune. The wasted opportunity of the duplication is paid dearly by the biancocelesti who three minutes after 1-0 suffers the same Used in the only conclusion towards the mirror of the Belgian team: Lang from the limit unloads a bolide towards Queen who manages to deviate as best he can, on the rebound, Vormer is the fastest to pocket. Bruges steeled themselves and with De Ketelaere almost went ahead with a shot deflected by a hair. There Lazio has a hard time stopping the guest’s maneuver, but gives Inzaghi a big gift thinking about the 27th Eye: the defender enters impetuous on the Immobile sinking it in the complete Belgian area. Sacrosanct penalty and from the point Ciro puts the fourth center in Champions (the third on a penalty). Before the end of the first part (played under torrential rain) there is another good news for the hosts: the already booked Sobol land Lazzari in the middle of the field. It is red. Lazio in the locker room in front of a goal and a player.

Lazio, here are the round of 16! Correa-Immobile, 2-2 with Bruges
Lazio, how much suffering in the final!
In the second half, Inzaghi manages Hoedt to insert Radu. Lazio plays better, has more energy but fails to shoot. First Correa and then Marusic miss two good opportunities for the trio. Milinkovic also tries from afar with no luck. Brujas is on the ropes and tries to excite Reina with a free kick without succeeding. The last half hour sees the biancocelesti control the golden advantage without problems. Immobile wastes another couple of chances on reboot. Inzaghi on 75 ‘inserts Caicedo, Akpa Akpro ed Escalante removing the same Cyrus, Luis Alberto me Luke Leiva. A risky choice in light of Bruges’ draw came moments later: from the right it is Vormer who crosses a perfect ball for Vanaken’s head that pushes Reina with a powerful and angular shot. The race score changes suddenly. Now is the Used to go on the attack in search of the qualifying goal. Lazio dances in defense and in the counterattack it does not sting as it should. The last minutes are played in apnea and the last round is the Used play the sensational overtaking with from Ketelaere that with a very powerful left hits the crossbar internal. It would have been a terrible joke. The result, however, is no longer unlocked. The 2-2 final allows Lazio to celebrate a historic qualification. The Biancoceleste people had been waiting for this moment for twenty years: the eighth of Champions League they are reality. Second place in the group behind Dortmund – win 2-1 at Zenit – does not allow Inzaghi to sleep peacefully in view of the draw. But tonight it doesn’t matter: Lazio will be in that ballot box. And it is an emotion that has been absent in these parts for a long, long time.
