Lazio 0-3 Inter Milan: Champions Make Big Statement Before the Final
Lazio 0-3 Inter Milan: Champions Make Big Statement Before the Final Four days before they meet in the Coppa Italia final, Inter Milan put three unanswered goals past Lazio in the Serie A contest held at the Stadio Olimpico. Lazio & Inter Milan Starting Lineups Maurizio Sarri rotated his lineup by dropping Nuno Tavares, Gustav Isaksen, and Kenneth Taylor, while Mattia Zaccagni has been ruled out after hurting himself in training. Tijjani Noslin led the line flanked by Matteo Cancellieri and Pedro, while Nicolo Rovella combined with Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Toma Basic in midfield.
Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, and Luca Pellegrini formed the backline. Cristian Chivu also made some changes to Inter’s 3-5-2 lineup, but he still opted to unleash his star attacking duo, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. In midfield, Petar Sucic operated as a Regista between Nicolo Rovella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, while Andy Diouf and Carlos Agusto started as wing-backs.
Yann Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi, and Alessandro Bastoni constituted the three-man defence. Lautaro Martinez Breaks the Deadlock Early On Inter were the more determined side from the outset, and it only took them six minutes to open the scoring. Bisseck played a long throw-in to the box, and Thuram was able to beat Rovella and Pellegrini in the air to set up Martinez, who escaped Marusic and Gila to score on the half volley.
The Nerazzurri almost added a rapid second, as Thuram freed Diouf on the right flank. Motta was able to deny the wing-back, while Thuram couldn’t hit the target on the rebound. Petar Sucic Stuns Lazio with Pearler At the end of a disappointing first half, Lazio were hoping to head into the interval with a limited deficit before trying to pick up the pieces in the second period.
However, they ended up conceding a stellar second goal in the 39th minute. Inter produced quality football down the left flank. Lautaro then turned before storming into the box.
