ROME (ITALPRESS) – Roma beats Lazio 2-0, wins the derby and keeps Sassuolo at a distance. The goals of Mkhitaryan and Pedro condemn the biancoceleste team to greet the Champions dream two days early. Balanced first half for the two teams in terms of ball possession (49% -51%) but in the first half hour it is the biancoceleste formation that has the clearest opportunities. At 19 ‘on the development of a descent and cross by Lazzari, Luis Alberto is anticipated at the last by Karsdorp. At 26 ‘, instead, it is from Ibanez’s lightness that one of the clearest chances is born: Milinkovic-Savic blows him the ball and unloads for Luis Alberto who kicks safely but finds Fuzato’s great response in a corner kick. Difficult moment for Ibanez (replaced in the 38th minute due to a muscle problem) who in the 35th minute finds himself unprepared for the insertion of Milinkovic-Savic who ends with an inaccurate lob. Roma struggled to find space to verticalize but when they did, they punished the biancocelesti: at 42 ‘Dzeko jumps Acerbi in the area and puts a perfect cross for the winning conclusion of Mkhitaryan who signs the 1-0. In the second half it is Roma who start better and in the 63rd minute they dangerously face Reina’s side with a wide diagonal from Dzeko after a prolonged action. At 72 ‘Fonseca is forced to spend two changes: outside the exhausted El Shaarawy and Pellegrini, inside Pedro and Villar. Inzaghi also changes: outside Radu and Marusic, inside Caicedo and Fares. In the 75th minute, Immobile’s ring that engages Fuzato with the heel: the referee lets play but was offside. But in the 78th minute Pedro lights up: a serpentine on the trocar and a southpaw winning from distance. Roma is close to the trio shortly after: quick restart of the Spanish former Chelsea and ball to Villar who kicks from the edge of the area without finding the door with the complicity of a deviation. At 88 ‘Lazio remain in ten: Acerbi retains Dzeko, receives the second yellow card and further dirties an already negative match. (ITALPRESS). glb / red 15-May-21 22:40
