Stadio Rodolfo Zandegiacomo, Auronzo di Cadore
Lazio Spal 3-0
In a summer classic, Lazio crush Spal in the second half
The Biancocelesti were in the pre-season training at Auronzo di Cadore. They had already played three games winning all of them. Today they faced Serie A club Spal.
The match
Lazio were forced to play without Thomas Strakosha, Adam Marusic and Valon Berisha whereas Spal were missing Thiago Cionek, Mohamed Fares and Sergio Floccari. This was the fourth year Lazio had played Spal in preseason training at Auronzo di Cadore, so by now it was a summer classic.
After a few shots off target from Luis Alberto and Lucas Leiva, it was Manuel Lazzari in the 27th minute who had a chance face to face with Silvio Proto who made an excellent save. Again, Spal were dangerous on a Lazzari cross which nobody was able to deflect towards the Lazio goal. In the 44th minute Luis Alberto took a shot on a free kick, Demba Thiam saved into corner with the help of the crossbar.
An intense first half though not very spectacular.
The fireworks came in the second 45 minutes. In the 53rd minute defender Felipe made a bad pass, Ciro Immobile got hold of the ball and was lethal as usual.
Spal reacted and Federico Viviani three times tried to beat Proto who managed to save every time. The numerous substitutions took away a bit of steam from the game but Patric hit the woodwork on a surface to air missile in the 75th minute and Lazio scored again seven minutes later. Riza Durmisi crossed, Joseph Minala tried to shoot but was challenged by a defender, the ball arrived to Felipe Caicedo. His first attempt was saved by the keeper but the ball bounced off him and went in.
In the 90th minute Guido Guerrieri sent a long ball towards the left, Durmisi ran forward and close to the box crossed into the middle where Alessandro Rossi made it three.
Good game for Lazio.
