by admin

Lazio flies to the round of 32 of the Europa League with one day to spare. The biancocelesti beat Lokomotiv 3-0 in Moscow thanks to two penalties converted by Immobile in the second half in the 56th and 63rd minutes and Pedro’s goal in the 87th minute. In two weeks at the Olimpico, Sarri’s team will play for the first place in group E against the Turks of Galatasaray. The cold in Moscow makes the biancocelesti start slowly, with the first opportunity arriving at 7 ‘from a corner kick, with Acerbi standing out in the middle of the area, going to engage the seventeen-year-old goalkeeper Khudiakov, the first as a starter with the Lokomotiv shirt. At 12 ‘Maradishvili tries a round shot not hitting the goal of Strakosha, while shortly after Basic, with his head, goes to anticipate everyone at the near post, but Rybus – stationed on the diagonal – saves a little from the line of goal. The game is not very brilliant, even Immobile has few opportunities to touch the ball, while Nenakhov is in difficulty, very often aimed at by a Zaccagni who tries to break through on his side. The referee in a couple of opportunities grace the Russian defender, forcing Gisdol to change him with Sylianov. The clearest opportunity for Lokomotiv is a overhead kick from Jedvaj, on the development of a free kick at half an hour. The last chance of the first half was a shot by Felipe Anderson in the 44th minute saved by Khudiakov.
