SERIE A 2012 / 2013 MATCHDAY 22
LAZIO 0 VS CHIEVO 1
Finally, Lazio's unbeaten run in last sixteen matches has ended by Chievo Verona, also in Olimpico, the home for Petkovic's men. As the home side, Lazio actually controlled the match, but too many chances that wasted by the Petkovic men. Alberto Paloschi scored a single goal to turn victory into Chievo side.
Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic insists that his side didn’t deserve their loss on Saturday against Chievo. The Biancoceleste had been unbeaten in 16 matches, including six straight home wins, but fell 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico.
“I’m convinced I made the right choices [in resting key players], because I needed everyone to give 100% today,” said Petkovic. “It was a game we didn’t deserve to lose. Chievo capitalized on their only scoring opportunity and we wasted too many of ours.
“After so many positive matches, it was bound to happen that we’d
have a bad day against a difficult opponent. All that counts is that the
team believes and is ready to begin another run.”
With that defeat, Lazio slip down to third for the moment behind Napoli, who play on Sunday, they’re both six back of league leaders Juventus.
