Lazio managed to squeeze past Sampdoria

Pedro played with a protective mask after breaking his nose since Mattia Zaccagni was still incapacitated and Alessio Romagnoli was hurt. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic made a comeback after missing two games due to a stomach virus. Andrea Conti, Jeison Murillo, Koray Gunter, Ignacio Pussetto, and Fabio Quagliarella were all absent for Samp. Ciro Immobile lost his footing and booted Luis Alberto's corner onto his own hand after Milinkovic-Savic slammed it towards the back post. Manolo Gabbiadini set up Michael Cuisance with a clear shot at goal, but an essential block by Adam Marusic caused the shot to miss the mark.

Pedro missed wide after slipping as he fired from the edge of the box, but Lazio had an incredible triple opportunity at the 40-minute mark. Until to the breakthrough, this game really lacked quality.
