Lazio-Roma without goals: tension wins
It ended without a goal in the derby between Lazio and Roma at the Stadio Olimpico: after mainly biancoceleste-branded chances in the first half, the fear of losing won out in the second half and the result was not unlocked. After this draw, Roma è seventh on 18 points, Lazio ninth on 17. Both do not take full advantage of Napoli’s misstep to move closer to the Champions zone.
Goal-less first half but entertaining and intense. Roma tries to develop their maneuver more, but apart from a chance at the start with Lukaku è inconclusive in attack, while Lazio comes close three times to taking the lead.
On 24' Luis Alberto hits the post, four minutes later Rui Patricio è forced to a miracle on Romagnoli’s header, while on 43' again Luis Alberto shoots high a few meters from the goal line. On the field classic derby nervousness and four cautioned.
The resumption opens with a greedy chance not taken advantage of by Dybala, Roma starts better but as in the first half it stings little. Not even Mourinho’s and Sarri’s changes revitalize a match that as the minutes pass è more and more locked by the fear of losing. It ends without goals.
