Sunday, February 28, 1965


Stadio Franco Ossola, Varese

Varese Lazio 0-1


A Governato goal in the second half gives Lazio an important win


Source Lazio Wiki

The first half of the season had not been exceptional. Lazio were 15th with a four-point cushion over the relegation zone. After the first six games of the second part, they had earned only two points and were now 14th, just two points more than Cagliari 16th. They had lost eight games out of eleven away from home. Time to change the stats.


The match


Varese had not lost at home for three years, but Lazio after the home draw against Milan hoped to take a point.


The Lombards started well and after two minutes had an early chance with Vetrano, but soon the game went flat and the Biancocelesti put the match to sleep. In the 29th minute Piero Cucchi on a free kick went very close to putting Varese in the lead and four minutes later a splendid cross from Eugenio Fascetti in the box was not controlled by Carlo Galli. Then Idilio Cei was exceptional on an Alberto Spelta header. Just before the end of the first half, Kurt Christiansen saved an almost certain goal by deflecting a Cucchi close range shot.


At the beginning of the second 45 minutes, Vito D’Amato had a chance but his shot was parried by Antonio Lonardi. Spelta then had two chances: on the first he missed the ball from a favourable position and his second attempt was well saved by Cei. In the 68th minute Ivo Vetrano got injured allowing Diego Zanetti the freedom to help up front.


In the 75th minute, D’Amato crossed in the box, Galli dummied, ball to Nello Governato who whacked it into the net. Varese 0 Lazio 1.


Varese’s reaction was confused and Lazio almost made it two but D’Amato, instead of passing to Galli completely unmarked a few metres from the goal, decided to shoot from a difficult position and missed.


Great win for the Biancocelesti, their first away from home.
