VERONA (ITALPRESS) – Lazio expurgated the Bentegodi overwhelming Verona 3-0 in the match valid for the 21st day of Serie A: Samuel Gigot, Boulaye Dia and Mattia Zaccagni scored. The Biancocelesti thus regain the three points and confirm themselves in fourth place in the standings; the Veneti are stuck in third-last position.The Capitoline team immediately starts with the foot on the accelerator and after just two minutes takes the lead thanks to the goal of Samuel Gigot who, on the corner kicked by Zaccagni, anticipates Coppola and beats Montipò with his header. The hosts immediately tried to retaliate with a conclusion from Tengstedt, which hit Provedel on the spot. Lazio, despite the go-ahead goal, continued to push and on 18′ tried to make themselves dangerous with a shot from the edge of the area by Castellanos, which went wide. The time is ripe for the doubling of Marco Baroni’s men, who at 21′ make it 2-0 with the goal scored by Boulaye Dia: the Senegalese striker, after a poorly taken free kick by the opponents, runs 50 meters with the ball on his feet, skips past Bradaric and beats Montipò with his left foot.Verona takes the blow and threatens to capitulate at 37′, when Zaccagni feeds Isaksen, who kicks a shot on the line, but finds Montipò’s rebound. Good end to the first half by the Scaligeri who, after shots by Duda and Tengstedt, hit a resounding crossbar at 43′ with a header by Serdar. They go to rest on the 0-2 scoreline. In the resumption, Zanetti inserted Livramento and switched to 4-4-2, which allowed the yellow and blue team to convincingly appear in the opponent’s half of the field. In 58′, however, Tchatchoua makes an incredible mistake that unintentionally triggers Dia: the Senegalese serves Zaccagni who, with the goal almost completely unguarded, deposits in the net for 3-0. Lazio, then, has the game on the sting but at 64′ goes close to poker with Castellanos who, on an excellent suggestion from Nuno Tavares, misses a great chance. After a whirlwind of substitutions on both sides, the Gialloblù tried to reopen the challenge with a treacherous conclusion by Bradaric but the outside found the careful response of Provedel.In the final the hosts were left in a numerical inferiority following a naivety of Duda, who was sent off for double admonition. The Biancocelesti then easily administered the wide lead.- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
