Beat Torino, Lazio Closer to European Qualification Zone

Turin, Beritasatu.com – The Lazio club is approaching the European qualification zone after securing three points from home to Torino with a score of 2-0 in the match week 25 in the Italian Serie A League at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, Friday (23/2/2024) early morning WIB.

The victory brought the capital club Roma up to seventh place in the Serie A standings with 40 points, only one point different from city club AS Roma in sixth place, or the European qualifying zone.

Maurizio Sarri's club won thanks to two goals in the second half, after both teams played at a slow tempo and did not score in the first half.

Luis Alberto was the architect of Lazio's first goal from Matteo Guendouzi's feet after continuing Ciro Immobile's breakthrough pass. Guendouzi, who was standing freely at the goal mouth, easily beat Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.

Guendouzi played an important role in Lazio's second goal when Luis Alberto managed to use his pass to send the ball into Torino's goal. The ball was immediately struck by Danilo Cataldi for Lazio's 2-0 lead.

Lazio were forced to play with 10 men after Mario Gila received a second yellow card after fouling Duvan Zapata near the penalty box line.

However, Torino was unable to exploit their advantage in the number of players to catch up so that the score of 2-0 for Lazio's victory lasted until the match ended.

In the next match, Torino, who is ranked 11th, will visit AS Roma headquarters, while Lazio will visit Fiorentina at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.
