Game 6, National League, Southern Division, Lazio Group
Sunday, November 18, 1923
Campo dell’Olmo, Rome
U.S. Romana Lazio 1-7
Fillippi scores six, or five depending on the source, taking Lazio to seventh heaven
For the 1923-24 season the First Division was divided into two geographical leagues: north and south. In the former the 24 teams were divided into two groups with the winners playing a final. In the South it was divided by region (Lazio, Campania, Puglia and Sicily). Then the top two teams in Lazio, Campania and Puglia would qualify for the semi-final stage with the Sicilian winner and Anconitana, the sole Marche representative. Two semi-final groups the winners of which would meet for the final.
The winners of both leagues would then clash for the National final.
Lazio so far had played four games, even if todays’ match was fixture seven (one match had been postponed for electoral reasons and another one suspended for a fight that involved players, managers, fans and referees!), winning all four.
The match
In the first ten minutes it looked like US Romana were on a good day. They attacked like crazy and Ezio Sclavi was called to make some decisive saves. Then in the 11th minute Ugo Dosio cleared the box, Dante Filippi went for the ball and scored Lazio’s first. He then went on to score another two in quick succession. Towards the end of the first half US Romana managed to reduce the deficit with Beniamini III.
In the second half, the way too much freedom given to Fillippi allowed the Lazio forward to score another 3 goals whilst the Biancoceleste seventh was scored by Fulvio Bernardini.
No contest.
