Friendlies, Lazio draw with Galatasaray
Lazio, after losing to Fenerbahce 1-0, draws against Galatasaray 2-2. Sarri deploys from the start Mandas between the posts with Rovella preferred to Cataldi in the middle of the field along with Guendouzi and Dele Bashiru and Zaccagni, Cancellieri and Castellanos forming the offensive trident.
To take the lead are the Turkish champions with Torreira’s header, all alone in the small area, which after 10 minutes signs the 1-0. Sarri’s team managed to overturn the result in the first half first with Sanchez’s own goal, which deflected Cancellieri’s header into his own goal, and then with Zaccagni’s left-footed shot that sent the Biancocelesti to rest 2-1.
In the resumption, the Lazio coach rotates the squad and comes close to a hat trick with Pedro, just entered, who sends out an unguarded goal. But a quarter of an hour from the end came Galatasaray’s equalizer, again with Torreira, which fixed the result at 2-2 final and closed the mini-tournament on Turkish soil with a defeat and a draw for Lazio, which is now awaiting matches against Burnley and Atromitos before its league debut against Como.
