Lazio were currently in the pre-season training period at Auronzo di Cadore. No new players had arrived at Auronzo, but the club had just signed Jordan Lukaku (Oostende) and Ciro Immobile (Sevilla).

The Biancocelesti had already played a couple of games against minor teams. Today was the first relatively difficult match, against Padova from the third tier.

The match

After three minutes there was a penalty for Lazio. Senad Lulic was fouled in the box by Nicola Madonna, Danilo Cataldi took the spot kick and gave the Biancocelesti the lead.

In the 10th minute Cataldi had a chance on a free kick but Giacomo Bindi parried into corner. In the 23rd Keita Balde on the counter attack, ball to Stefan Radu in the penalty area, his shot was deflected by a defender and Bindi yet again parried into corner. In the 28th minute Padova equalised. Cross from the left, Cristian Altinier, all alone in front of Etrit Berisha had no problem in putting the ball in the back of the net. 120 seconds later Lazio scored again. Keita dribbled half of the Padova defence and put a ball in the centre of the box which Filip Djordjevic had no problem tapping in.

Keita took over and in the 34th minute could have scored. He went off down the middle of the pitch, one-two with Lulic, but his shot was deflected into corner.

In the second half, space for the reserves and not much happened. In the 89th minute Simone Palombi had a chance on a Ravel Morrison assist but he was unable to make a connection despite the favourable position.

Another good training game for Lazio.
