Lautaro Martinez scores, Verona misses a penalty

Already in the 13th minute of the game, striker Lautaro Martinez gave the Serie A leaders a 1-0 lead after a pass from ex-Dortmunder Henrikh Mkhitaryan. In the 74th minute of the game, Hellas Verona was able to fight back with Thomas Henry making it 1-1.

After Frattesi’s 2-1 goal, Verona had another chance to equalize in the ninth minute of added time – even though the guests were outnumbered at that point after Darko Lazovic’s red card. But Henry missed his chance for a second goal and put the ball on the left post.
