Lazio 3-3 Udinese: Maldini Nets Last-Minute Equalizer in Six-Goal Thriller At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Lazio and Udinese played out one of the most entertaining matches of the Serie A campaign. Lazio & Udinese Starting Lineups Maurizio Sarri made several changes to the starting lineup that beat Atalanta in the Coppa Italia semi-final on Wednesday. Luca Pellegrini started his first match in almost two months, joining Manuel Lazzari, Alessio Romagnoli, and Oliver Provstgaard at the back.

Patric acted as a Regista between Toma Basic and Kenneth Taylor, while Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin flanked Boulaye Dia in attack. Udinese boss Kosta Runjaic kept his usual 3-5-2 formation, with the young Idrissa Gueye replacing Keinan Davis in attack, linking up with Nicolo Zaniolo. Hassane Kamara and Kingsley Ehizibue took the wing-back roles, with Arthur Atta, Jakub Piotrowski, and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp forming the midfield trio.

Udinese with The Early Threat The visitors squandered a big chance in the 7th minute. Ekkelenkamp picked the pocket of Lazzari, allowing the Zebrette to launch a swift counter-attack. Kamara played a square ball towards the mouth of the goal, but Gueye couldn’t connect with it, as the chance went begging.

Ehizibue Stuns Lazio After failing to heed the first warning, Lazio found themselves trailing after 18 minutes. Zaniolo put Piotrowski through with a clever pass, but the midfielder couldn’t beat Edoardo Motta. Nevertheless, the Biancocelesti failed to clear the ball properly, and Ehizibue pounced on the loose ball with a riffling shot that almost tore the roof of the net.

The Lazio goalkeeper was in the right position to make the save, but it was simply too powerful to be handled. Luca Pellegrini Scores Super Equalizer Following a miserable first half, Lazio reentered the pitch with a more positive demeanor, and it didn’t take them long to equalize. Pedro, who replaced Dia, took the corner kick long.
