In the resumption, at 56’ Pellegrini for Vecino who crosses to the second post where there’è Castellanos who header puts out from a few steps. At 66’ Rovella vertically for Castellanos, cross to the center for Dia, who entered in Vecino’s place, who scores with a header, but referee Rapuano cancels for Castellanos’ offside.

Lazio finally unblocked the result in 68’: corner by Zaccagni, slight deflection by Moro, the ball ends up towards the far post where there’è Gigot who scores with a header. At 72’ the doubling: Pellegrini on the left skips past De Silvestri and gives to Zaccagni who with a right-footed shot beats Ravaglia.

In the recovery comes the trio of the biancocelesti: counterattack by Lazzari, served in depth; Isaksen who jumps Ravaglia but due to a contact with the goalkeeper goes down, the ball arrives where there’è Dele-Bashiru who sends it into the wide open goal.
