Lazio honors Franco Chimenti with a victory

Lazio-Nice 4-1

A sad day for Lazio and its fans. E’ Franco Chimenti, president of the biancoceleste club in 1986, when his financial group bought the majority stake from Giorgio Chinaglia’s FinLazio, has died.

Taking the field against Nice in the Europa League, Marco Baroni’s team honored the departed executive, who in recent days had been re-elected as head of Federgolf.

Pedro and Castellanos scored in the first half, and just before halftime former Sassuolo and Atalanta player Boga halved the deficit. In the second half Castellanos struck again. Then it was Zaccagni from the penalty spot to round out the score. 4-1 the final.

With this success, Lazio è topped the Europa League standings with 6 points out of 6 after two days and a goal difference already +6.
