At the Olimpico it was an infinite match, with continuous reversals and a novel ending. In the end, it ends 3-3 with the bull playing his best race of the season on the game level and tears an important point, while Sarri’s Lazio is saved from the hundredth minute with a penalty of Cataldi and cannot give continuity after the victory of the previous championship days. He had opened Simeone for the grenades, overturns the brace of Cancellieri, equal of Adams, 3-2 of Coco at the first recovery and closing the penalty of Cataldi.

Always Simeone

There is a lot, a lot, bull in the whole first half, but there is also a grenade defense that grants too much and Lazio is enough for two long launches to pierce the fragile rearguard of Barons and turn the advantage of Simeone upside down. The synthesis of a first part of the game even very fun and enjoyable could be all here. Certainly it does not go down to Marco Baroni, a technician who knows Lazio’s players like no one else and who for the occasion has prepared a strategy that, on the game level, wins Sarri’s team: Toro with 3-4-2-1 in the offensive phase, 4-4-2 when he defends so as to block the bands and have superiority compared to Sarri’s 4-2-3-1. We said: Toro plays a good football, he has several occasions with Ngonge (6 ‘: in the arms of Provedel), he moved on to the 16th with Simeone Bravo to collect the short rejection of Provedel on Pedersen’s shot. Chilito often marks the biancocelesti: it is his ninth goal at Lazio. At 24 ‘Ngonge has the sensational ball of the doubling, committing a right error face to face with provedel after a dribble error in the biancoceleste midfield.

Ribaltone Cancellieri

And here the problems of the bull begin. On the overturning opposite, long ball for Cancellieri on which there is an inexplicable sleep of Coco who gives the possibility to the tip of Sarri to take the ball, get rid of and kick towards the mirror by signing the same. The complicity of the goalkeeper Israel is also big: the shot is semi-central. At 40 ‘, by broad lines, the replay arrives: another launch in the void, this time the sleep is by Lazaro who is also mocked by Cancellieri Bravo then to find the 2-1 under Israel’s back. Now they are 12 goals conceded in 6 days of the championship by the Taurus, at the end of the game they will become 13.

The Adams stamp

The script does not change in the second half, with the bull that further relaxes, dragged by an inspired Ngonge, and offers the best performance of his season. At one point, Marco Baroni realizes that it is time to change some men and the grenade bench will then be decisive in the search for the tie: they enter the first stount Nkounkou (instead of Lazaro) and Adams (for Vlasic), the grenades are positioned with the double center forward (Adams-Simeone) and Ngong to act as a midfielder. Sarri’s Lazio continues on the false line of the first half, trying to hurt in restarting but without construct. At 28 ‘the well -deserved two to two of the Taurus arrives: personal inspiration on the left of Nkounkou who goes away like a train to Hysaj, assist for Adams who of first intention puts the ball at the crossroads by signing the first goal of the season.

the ending

Five minutes from the end, Lazio has a jolt, but the Castellanos header is intercepted by Israel. In the final it happens practically everything. It starts, in full recovery, when Provedel makes an authentic miracle on Adams’ diagonal. On developments the corner kick was born from which Coco stands that signs the 3-2, confirmed after a long check. The bull explodes and sixty seconds from the end he feels the victory in his hand. But on the last action of Lazio dembélé who is in control of the ball, he commits a serious naivety, making himself steal the ball from Noslin. The mess is completed with Coco who arrives in the running like a train by unbalanced the Lazio striker: a fight breaks out in the field (Ammonito Maripan), long check in the Var and long control also to the referee’s monitor that assigns the penalty with which Cataldi at 103 ‘closes the game on 3-3.
