At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on December 13, the 17th round of Serie A began to compete in many matches, including Lazio away to Sassuolo. Zakani scored in the opening five minutes, but Lazio suffered a tragic reversal, losing 1-2 to the opponent. In the last five rounds, Lazio has lost 11 points and has given Mourinho a number of consecutive gifts.
Just five minutes into the opening, Lazio kicked off to a dream start, Pedro selflessly crossed inside the box, and Zakani followed up with a poke to take a 1-0 lead.
In the first half, Lazio had a smooth ride, and Sarri did not expect that the opponent would fight back wildly in the second half. In the 62nd minute, Sassuolo played a smooth counter-attack, Las Padori scored from the edge of the penalty area, Bellardineche then played a world wave with his left foot, hanging straight into the dead corner into the net, Lazio goalkeeper Strakosha stood in place to watch, 1-1!
In the 68th minute, Sassuolo took advantage of the chase, Berardi returned the favor, Raspadori flashed past consecutively, and the left foot of the box was pushed into the net. In just 6 minutes, Lazio conceded two goals in a row, and the score came to 1-2! Thanks to the efforts of two European Cup-winning members, Lazio went from leading to lagging behind.
In the 88th minute, Lazio broke the ball in front of him, Aihan chose a tactical foul, put down Muric on the edge of the box, the referee took out a red card and sent him off, Sassuolo 10 to 11. However, with little time left, Lazio failed to translate his numerical advantage into a goal, and eventually fell 1-2 to see Serie A Barca take away the victory.
In the last five rounds, Lazio has suffered consecutive blows, losing to Juve, Napoli and Sassuolo, and was magically forced to draw 4-4 by Udinese, only to win on Sampdoria, conceding 11 points in one go.
Originally, Lazio only needed a draw to overtake Roma and rise to the top 8 of the table, but as a result, he dropped the chain and still failed to surpass his sworn enemies in the same city. It is worth mentioning that Sarri has given gifts to Mourinho many times, and even some fans have ridiculed that whenever the madman is in a bad condition, Sarri always competes to send warmth.
Unconsciously, Lazio trailed Fourth-place Napoli by as many as 11 points, close to a gap of four wins, and there was basically no hope of competing for Champions League qualification.
In contrast, Sassuolo specializes in hard battles, "Serie A Barca" has defeated Juve, AC Milan and Lazio, and forced Napoli to draw, repeatedly disrupting the championship and the pattern of competition for the fourth.
