NAPLES (ITALPRESS) – Lazio expurgated the “Maradona” by overcoming Napoli 1-0: a goal by Isaksen, arrived at 79′, was decisive. Second victory in a few days for the Capitolini against the Azzurri, who after exiting the Coppa Italia also lose the top of the Serie A standings to Atalanta.
The hosts made a good start to the game, with an insidious cross at the first post by McTominay that was, however, cleared into the corner by Provedel. At 15′ came the Biancocelesti’s answer with a conclusion by Nuno Tavares, on which a deflection by Politano was decisive. Marco Baroni’s boys start to increase the pace and on 20′ they make themselves dangerous with a shot by Isaksen, sent in for a corner kick by Meret. Two minutes later, it was a header by Castellanos that created trouble in the Azzurri rearguard, but match director Colombo stopped everything for a foul on Di Lorenzo. After a moment of difficulty, Napoli reappeared in the opponent’s penalty area with shots from Anguissa and Politano, which, however, turned out to be inaccurate. In the middle of the first half recovery Kvaratskhelia tried from the distance but grazed the crossbar of the posts.
In the second half, Lazio immediately went very close to scoring the winning goal with Dele-Bashiru, who hit a resounding crossbar with his right footer at 52′. In 61′ Romagnoli is forced to leave the field of play due to injury, Patric takes his place. At 70′ Isaksen attempts a shot, but it is blocked by Meret, while a minute later Anguissa chips the post on the development of a corner kick taken by Kvaratskhelia, equalizing the woodwork count. Marco Baroni sent in fresh forces and Noslin’s move turned out to be the right one, as on 79′ he managed to trigger Isaksen toward the goal: the Dane went to the middle, overtook Olivera and painted an impregnable trajectory with his left foot, putting his side ahead. The final onslaught of the Campani did not change the fate of the match: the Capitolini won 1-0 at the “Maradona”. Celebration for Lazio, long faces at home Napoli.
