ONLY ONE POINT FROM ZURICH...

FC Zurich: Guatelli, Philippe Koch, Béda, Teixeira, Magnin, Nikci, Margairaz, Aegerter, Djuric (75’ Rodriguez), Chikhaoui (63’ Mehmedi), Alphonse.

Lazio: Marchetti, Lulic, Diakite, Dias, Radu, Cana (46’ Rocchi), Matuzalem, Gonzalez (72’ Ledesma), Hernanes, Sculli, Cisse (79’ Kozak).

Lazio, once more failed to attempt to gain the fisrt victory in Europa League this season. When they went to Zurich, Switzerland to face the home team, Lazio only played draw 1-1 and only gain one point.

Lazio had the lead first after Cisse's cross successfully maximized by Giuseppe Sculli. But, only 20 seconds after the first goal Zurich had scored the equalizing goal to leveled the score through a beautiful finish by Nikci who found the far right corner of Marchetti with a powerful shot.

Summary, Lazio not performed a good playing in this match, unlike they played in the second half of the last derby against Roma Merda. The result is a disappointing one for Lazio, but with Sporting Lisbon beating Vaslui, Lazio are tied with two teams on two points and has a fairly good chance and advancing with some important clashes a head.

WHAT A DRAMATIC DERBY!!

Lazio gained an important victory against their rival, Roma Merda in the last derby de la capital of Serie A last Sunday.

The victory was gained dramatically when the second goal of Lazio scored in the last minute of the match. With this victory, Biancoceleste also stop their rival’s consecutive win in last five derby matches. In five derby matches before, Lazio got lost consecutively.

In early minutes, Lazio performed bad pace while their rival played with high spirit. It converted to a goal in minute 5 when Federico Marchetti couldn’t stop a shot from Osvaldo after he set free from Lazio’s offside trap.

Lazio finally performed better in the second half. After several minutes tried to create some chances, Lazio got the equalizing goal through Hernanes’ penalty kick. Referee Tagliavento pointed the penalty spot after Simon Kjaer did a foul against Christian Brocchi in penalty area. Kjaer also has been sent off by the referee because of that incident.

With their rival only played with ten men, Biancoceleste had more spirits in attacking pace. Miroslav Klose had a chance of scoring through his heading. But unlucky, the ball only hit the post. The same thing also occurred to Djibril Cisse when he got a chance to shoot, but the ball only hit the post.

When the time was getting closer to the end, Hernanes sent a direct pass to Matuzalem. With only one touch pass, Matuzalem sent the ball to Miroslav Klose. Then, with his killer instinct, the German bomber hit the ball that result the victory goal into Stekelenburg’s net. And that the way of drama was.

After the referee blew up the whistle, all of Lazio elements -the supporters, staffs and the players- showed their enthusiasms for this victory. It was a dramatic victory in derby de la capital.

With this result, Lazio raise their position on the table of Serie A up to the fourth position with only one point gap after the capolista Juventus. Forza Lazio!!!

GOOD SIGNAL BEFORE THE DERBY!!

Fiorentina: Boruc, De Silvestri, Gamberini, Natali, Pasqual, Behrami, Montolivo, Lazzari (Kharja 81’), Cerci, Jovetic, Vargas (Silva 55’).

Lazio: Marchetti, Konko, Stankevicius, Dias, Radu (Sculli 65’), Gonzalez (Lulic 60’), Ledesma, Brocchi, Hernanes, Cisse (Matuzalem 75’), Klose.

Lazio finally could rise up again. Seems like they are not troubling with the result in the last match of Europa League against Sporting Lisbon several days ago. After departed from Lisabon, they had to went to Firenze to faced another opponent. In this week of Serie A. Lazio will be faced out by the home team, Fiorentina.

 

 

In early first half, the things are look like getting worse. The home team made the lead first. In minute 8, Cerci made his goal to open the score. But, Lazio had risen up!! Hernanes became the equalizer to made the score 1-1.

In second half, Fiorentina showed up their rampage. Their attacks had threatened Lazio's net for several times. But fortunenately, there was Federico Marchetti as Lazio's goalie! He deserved to be the man of the match in this game because of his great performance. He made several brilliant saves that Lazio only got one goal in their own net.

 

In the minute 83, finally the ultimate goal of this match had occured. It was starting when Ledesma had a crossing to Sculli, and Sculli who won the air battle sent the ball to Klose who stood up freely in the center of penalty box. With his good reflect, Klose headed the ball in to the Fiorentina's net. GOAL!! 2-1 for Lazio. With this victory, lazio can stare the derby in next match of Serie A optimistically. They have good signal about this. Forza Lazio!!

 

UNLUCKY....!!

 

Lazio Starting Line-Up

Sporting Lisbon: Rui Patricio, Insua, Onyewu, Anderson Polga, Joao Pereira, Fernandez (70' Andrè Santos), Rinaudo, Schaars, Capel (74' Carrico), Van Wolfswinkel, Carrillo (53' Evaldo).

Lazio: Marchetti, Konko, Dias (69' Radu), Diakitè, Lulic, Gonzalez, Cana, Brocchi (63' Sculli), Hernanes, Klose (46' Cisse), Rocchi.

This was the second match of Lazio in Europa League! After a dissapointing match in their home in first match against Vaslui, Lazio had to fly to Lisabon to faced the Portuguese representative in this event, Sporting Lisbon. Lazio went to Lisabon with unconvinced result in the five last matches before, with only one victory, three draws and one lost.

Miroslav Klose

In this match, Lazio (once again...) failed to perform their mighty over the home team. Sporting scored two goals into Marchetti's net through van Wolfswinkel and Insua. Lazio only had one goal that had been scored by Miroslav Klose before the first half came to end. Coach Edy Reja had been sent out by the referee after a protest about Insua's goal which was occuring after the added time should be over.

I watched this match with  full of curious feeling in the second half. How not? In the second half, Sporting only played with 10 men after and Lazio quite dominated the match, but Lazio gain no added goal until the referee blew up his whistle. Several chances in the second half through Djibril Cisse, Giuseppe Sculli, Abdoulay Konko and the captain Tomasso Rocchi failed to be converted into an added goal for Lazio. According to me, Lazio deserve a better result in this match. It was just unlucky guys...!!
