January 18, 2020Latios records never stop. The Biancocelesti stretch Sampdoria 5-1 at the Olimpico and enter the eleventh victory in a row, entering the club that counts Juventus (4 times), Rome (2), Inter and Napoli. Ciro Immobile scores three goals and flies at the top of the top scorer with 23 goals in nineteen games (nine on penalty, two of which today). And for Simone Inzaghi it is the number 100 success as a coach. In the standings, Lazio, increasingly third strength (and perhaps something more ...) of the championship, rises to 45 points, 3 less than Juve and only one less than Inter; and this for the same number of games played, as if bianconeri and nerazzurri have yet to take the field, the biancocelesti must recover the match with Verona, at the Olimpico on Wednesday 5 February. For the Blucerchiati (in a blue away suit), eleventh knockout and 19 points in the fifth last place in the standings: the way to salvation is still long. This is the result of the first advance of the twentieth day of Serie A, before the second round.

Inzaghi with the usual 3-5-2: Strakosha; Patric, Acerbi, Radu; Lazzari, Milinković-Savić, Lucas Leiva, Luis Albero, Jony; Caicedo, Property. Ranieri answers with the tested 4-4-2: Audero; Bereszyński, Chabot, Colley, Murru; Jankto, Thorsby, Vieira, Linetty; Gabbiadini, Caprari. Chiffi Arbiter of Padua.

Lazio set off on a spur chasing the record. At 4 'Luis Alberto touches the post from the edge. The biancoceleste advantage arrives in the 7th minute: Immobile breaks through by winning two duels with Chabot and Bereszyński, Audero replies the conclusion, Colley falls asleep waiting for the goalkeeper to get up and Caicedo inserts himself for the tap in the winner. Race virtually closed just over the quarter of an hour: Murru in his area intercepts with his arm a cross from Lazzari, Immobile from the spot 2-0. The top scorer of Serie A signs his brace at 20 ': he controls an Acerbi pitch, resists Chabot's intervention, also discards Audero and diagonally brings the score to 3-0. At 37 'Samp is seen with a Caprari shot that Strakosha puts in corner after deflection of a defender. Immediately before the break, double chance for the hosts, but Acerbi fails to score, then Audero makes a great save on Luis Alberto.

Blucerchiati return to the strippers with Ekdal for Jankto. Radu accuses a muscle problem, at 49 'finds him Bastos who after 6' goes on the net, unloading a power right at the intersection of the poles at the invitation of Leiva. At 58 'Inzaghi inserts Adekanye for Caicedo. At 60 'the Var calls Chiffi to check on the video Colley's hand ball on Luis Alberto's shot: on penalty, Immobile flies to 23 goals, very alone at the top of the marker (65'). At 66 'Vavro for Acerbi in Lazio. At 67 'Augello for Murri and at 71' Bonazzoli for Gabbiadini among the blucerchiati. Samp reduces the passive to 70 ': Linetty takes a rejection of Strakosha on a shot by Gabbiadini and bags from the edge. But at 73 'Ranieri's team remains in ten for the red headed to Chabot, which lands Bastos thrown to the net. At 80 'Building just a stone's throw away from poker, avoided by a slip disturbance by Augello. There is no recovery and the Olimpico celebrates its darlings.
