Failure to win the derby would likely have meant Lazio abandoning their dreams of atop the rankings and settle for a season of chase to at least reach the Europa League. And, instead, the 3-0 cut to Roma not only gives Lazio three precious points but also the awareness of being able to attempt a comeback and stay in the group to play the chances of at least the Champions League. Perfect career of the Inzaghi team that has exposed all the shortcomings of the Rome that paid, once again, a non-perfect defensive phase. Each spot was punished, while in attack the Giallorossi did not affect despite Dzeko and despite Pellegrini next to Mkhitaryan in the offensive midfielders. Lazio wins with merit and moves just three points behind Rome’s third place.
As for the starting lineups, Caicedo Confirmed as Immobile Attack Partner by Simone Inzaghi you choose Louis Philippe and not Patric in defence. Fonseca recovers Smalling and the 1 ‘field, the confidence is confirmed a Villar in the middle of the field and Veretout is preferred to Cristante. The start of the match is intense, aggressive, the two teams openly face each other but it is soon Lazio that moves the inertia of the match. Inzaghi’s team dribbles in construction and accelerates for depth. And from such a situation was born the goal of the biancoceleste advantage. In a deep shot Smalling slips, Lazzari wins the contrast with Ibáñez, the ball lands at the feet of Immobile who easily surpasses Pau López. The double comes 8 ‘later when still a part of Lazzari puts in crisis the rear of Giallorossi, the extreme of Inzaghi serves Luis Alberto who marks with a precise diagonal. Roma staggers and does not react, Lazio continues to attack and Pau López turns off a couple of Lazio conclusions. The first part ends with Lazio deservedly ahead.
In recovery Fonseca inserts Pedro and a response from Rome is expected. The plot does not change, the Giallorossi never manage to put Lazio in difficulty, who manages the defensive phase better and remains always spicy in the attack zone. Inzaghi also throws himself into the fray Akpa Akpro ed Escalante, but it is Lazzari the extra man. The biancoceleste exterior A counterattack that Akpa Akpro finishes off for Luis Alberto who controls, aims and beats Pau López again, it is the 3-0 that definitively closes the matches. Fonseca tries to shuffle the cards, they also enter Foreman me Cristante but Reina is practically inactive until the last minutes when she blocks a good close shot from Dzeko. The rest is pure academic and career management by the Lazio that wins three very important points and relaunches its ambitions in the League. Rome fell slightly with a third place definitely at risk.
