On the evening of February 12, Beijing time, in a match in the 25th round of Serie A, Lazio played Bologna at home. In the end, 90 minutes later, Lazio, who had just finished out of the Coppa Italia, returned home to win a 3-0 victory. After this game, Lazio opened up the gap with Roma, giving Mourinho, who has not yet played in this round, a certain pressure.
Two days ago, Lazio had just played the Coppa Italia quarter-final match against Milan, and Sarri's team lost 4-0 away from home. This season, Lazio has not had a particularly large fluctuation in performance under Sarri.com. Prior to this match, Lazio finished 6th in the league, the same result as last season.
On the Bologna side, their head coach is Serre star Mikhainović. At the beginning of the season, Bologna reached the top 10 of the league. But as the race progressed, Bologna's rankings kept slipping, with them in 13th place before the race, a result similar to last season.
Although they were out of the Coppa Italia, Sarri still has enough ability to deal with teams of equal strength or weaker than themselves. In their last match against Fiorentina, Lazio won 3-0 away from home. And facing Bologna, who is weaker than himself, Sarri must not want to let go of the victory.
Just 12 minutes into the match, Bologna player Sobaoro was fouled by an elbow in the penalty area, and Lazio was awarded a penalty. Faced with this opportunity, Inmobile took the penalty shot. In the last game against Milan, Mobile was replaced due to injury, but he started the league and scored, which did not seem to have much impact.
Before half-time, both sides had good chances to break the goal. Lazio's side, who was saved by Mobile's one-handed sneak attack on the goal, missed the opportunity to score twice. On the Bologna side, Arnautovic's heel shot also failed to cross the goalkeeper's ten-finger mark.
In the second half, Lazio, who led by one goal, continued to have the advantage. In the 53rd minute, Alberto delivered an assist, Zakani single-handedly faced the goalkeeper, he calmly pushed the shot, Lazio successfully extended the lead. Nine minutes later, Lazio made a comeback, this time with Zakani's goal. Lazio, who had a 3-goal advantage, basically laid the foundation for the victory of the game.
In the final time, both sides had a certain chance to break the goal, but unfortunately they failed to seize it. In the end, after 90 minutes, Lazio won 3-0, scoring 13 points in the last 5 rounds of league games with 4 wins and 1 draw, and the fighting spirit of fighting for the fourth place is very strong. Relying on this victory, Lazio is once again close to the top 4, and they are currently only 3 points behind Juve.
For Mourinho, Lazio's victory means that Roma want to return to the European zone this round, at least a big victory with four goals difference. Judging from the current Serie A standings, Mourinho's Roma not only has 4 difficulties, but also has a certain difficulty in trying to enter the European zone.
