Friendly match: Lazio-Qatar 0-0, Immobile misses a penalty

Lazio remains dry against Qatar. But the 0-0 in the test played at the SAK-Sportan-lage Nonntal in Salzburg, which closed the German retreat in Grassau, expresses a test of the Biancocelesti that definitely differs from the colorless one against Genoa, marked by a hard 4-1 badly digested by Sarri. This time the defense held up even if Sanchez’s team didn’t dare much. On the contrary, he raised a real defensive wall, which Lazio tried in vain to blow up. Especially, in the first half Sarri’s formation had several occasions: above all that of Immobile’s penalty, which ended up on the post.

At 9 ‘Immobile fails to convert a penalty awarded for a foul by goalkeeper Yousof against Felipe Anderson. Ball on the post and second shot from the spot wasted by the Biancoceleste bomber in this pre-season. The 5-3-2 of the Asian team pushes Lazio to a constant phrasing to find openings. At 25 ‘the Qatar goalkeeper flies on a well-calibrated free-kick from Milinkovic. Immediately after, Yousof is exalted in the output on Immobile and on a scissor cut (deviated) by Pedro. The pressure from Lazio is growing. The Qatari goalkeeper again in evidence: Pedro’s insidious shot thwarted. The formation of Sanchez increasingly perched in defense as the minutes pass: we go to the interval at 0-0.
