The big game is a day apart on the calendar. So the organizers of the Italian Series decided to do this, having allocated for a single Roman derby the part of Friday of the eighteenth round of the national championship. Lazio played 175 at home against Roma in club history.
Simone Inzaghi’s team ended 2020 with difficulty, having fallen under the effects of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, thus seriously losing in terms of positions in the classification. Only in the new year, the “eagles” began to gradually return to their previous condition, and by the time of the news confrontation they had already managed to advance towards the leading group. However, there was still a considerable distance left for the derby rivals, which could not be covered by a win in a head-to-head duel.
Paulo Fonseca’s charges, in turn, had completely different moods before this game. Roma constantly lived close to Milan’s leading pair, but allowed more point losses than Milan and Inter, thus only looking surreptitiously towards the possible front row. Many more “wolves” were concerned about the revived Juventus of Turin, who approached them according to the results of the last day.
The nominal guests started the game too badly, as a result of which they came under heavy pressure from the opponents from the first minutes. In addition, Lazio managed to notice the first failure of his opponents in defense, when Lazzari stalked an unsuccessful handling of the ball by Ibáñez on the left flank of his own penalty area, after which he presented Immobile with the opportunity to shoot at goal. alien.
“Las Águilas” calmly managed to develop the superiority they won against another goal scored after eight minutes, when Ibáñez himself failed again. After sending Lazzari onto the grass within his possessions, the defender lost his balance, allowing the opponent to calmly get up and continue advancing towards the goal. There was a quick discount under the impact of Luis Alberto, who from the first touch passed the ball under the far post.
Roma, in the context of a recent match against Inter Milan (2: 2), showed incomprehensible football in attack in the first half. In general, except for the moment when Mkhitaryan made a serious mistake from the center of the penalty area, there was simply nothing to remember about the actions of the “wolves” in the attack. After the break, the situation did not change much, despite Fonseca’s attempt to rebuild the game towards attack by replacing Villar with Cristanta.
The teams played the middle of the second half in a rather badass style, but it was during this period of the fight that the final attack by the hosts took place, ending the fate of this confrontation. Akpa-Akpro’s substitution with a pass from the right wing in the 67th minute gave the ball in front of the outside penalty area to Luis Alberto, who scored a double in the reported match by hitting the right post.
The tension in the fight did not lower its level, even despite the situation on the scoreboard, but there was no need to talk about Roma’s chances. Inzaghi’s absolute victory over Fonseca. The Lazio mentor managed to charge his team so much that before the final whistle in the technical zone, the players celebrated it so actively, as if they had won some kind of cup. A little bit, but it says a lot.
In the next round, Lazio will play a home match against Sassuolo, and the day before, Roma will enter the Stadio Olimpico in the match against La Spezia.
