Even though Lazio hit the woodwork twice, Mattia Zaccagni came off the bench to secure the team's triumph over Verona, their third straight Serie A success. There were a lot of missed opportunities during the match. On a corner, Lorenzo Montipò denied Gustav Isaksen, who was completely unmarked, but saved the goal by putting his boot on the line.
During the match, Cabal decisively tackled Daichi Kamada with a sliding move, and on the ensuing corner, Montipò just grazed a fingertip to deflect Felipe Anderson's right-footed rocket onto the crossbar. Pedro also had the opportunity to score in the 66th minute but he rushed the goal. With the help of an ex-Verona player, Lazio eventually took the lead they deserved when Mattia Zaccagni stole Suslov in midfield, passed to Luis Alberto down the left, and scored from six yards out at the near post. It was a fitting way to commemorate this week's contract renewal.
