Maurizio Sarri downsizes the'feat: he had already won in 8 vs. 11

Despite two direct expulsions, one in the first and one in the second half and both at 0-0, Lazio returned from Parma with three more points in the standings: the goal scored by Noslin in the 82nd minute was in fact decisive for the biancoceleste success, the first in the league since last November 23. Intense match since the first minutes, with the two goalkeepers, Corvi for Parma and Provedel for Lazio, often engaged by the opponents’ attackers. At 42′ Maurizio Sarri’s team remains in ten: bad intervention of the biancoceleste on Estevez, the referee Marchetti has no doubts and directly draws the red card.

In the second half, which was more nervous and with less interesting actions on both sides, it was again Estevez who caused the second red card, at 78′: in fact, the match director noticed a push by the Argentine on Basic, who reacted in a showy manner, thus deciding to admonish the Parma player and expel the Lazio one. Nevertheless, at 82’82’ came the guest goal: a sudden verticalization in the direction of Noslin caught the Gialloblù defense off guard, which let slip the Dutch striker, who was good at jumping Corvi and depositing in the net. In shock, the Gialloblù tried everything: Provedel was good on Estevez at the 83’83’, Djuric was inaccurate with a header at the 96′. It ends 0-1, for Lazio it&#8217s a feat worth the rapprochement to the Europa Zone.

“This victory can give us enthusiasm but the boys have found conviction since the end of September, it has been 3 months that they have been doing well – and first words in the post match of Maurizio Sarri . All in all, this win fits, the team is growing not only on the field but also as a mentality. Five ejections? Yes, but we are also among the teams that commit fewer fouls”.

“Had it already happened to me to win in 9? In Entella-Figline l’I won in 8 against 11… For Zaccagni it seems to me a bit’ too much the red card. With this team I have fun and I said so in times not suspected. Injured and absent for the upcoming matches? We are used this season to this kind of situation: if we are in eleven good, otherwise we start in ten…”, concluded the biancoceleste coach.
