21 January 2021 Lazio is the last team qualified for the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup: at the Olimpico, Parma beaten 2-1.

Simone Inzaghi's biancocelesti now find Atalanta, a bad customer (a dry match scheduled for next Wednesday in Bergamo at 5.45 pm).



Very reworked teams but hosts who push harder, create and eventually pass with merit.

Muriqi immediately hits the post with a nice touch from the outside (14 '), a yellow-blue response with the conclusion of Brunetta just outside (18').

This will be the only offensive start of the ducals in the first half.

From then on, in fact, the Biancocelesti increase the laps and the balance is broken: Colombi saves on Muriqi (21 '), Pereira hits the second wood (22', diagonal), on 23 'Parolo's winning header on cross by Andreas Pereira himself.



Shooting.

Akpa Akpro tries from distance (54 '): Colombi relaxes and rejects.

At 66 'percussion and central shot by Correa, then the guests shake, very close to equal: Strakosha's good response on the head of the Argentine Brunetta, Mihaila's close tap-in is printed on the crossbar.

One minute later (74 ') Parma still threatening: Kurtic's free-kick goes out on the outside goal.

But the 1-1 is around the corner (83 '): Ricci serves the Romanian Mihaila between the lines who enters the area and strikes Strakosha out.

With extra time already in the air, Lazio rallies after 90 minutes: detachment by Kosovar Muriqi from Acerbi's cross, the ball hits the post, carom hits Colombi's back and ends up in goal.

For Lazio… game, set, match.
