07 February 2021 Lazio beat Cagliari 1-0 at the Olimpico and catch Roma in fourth place thanks to the sixth consecutive victory in the league.

For Cagliari, nailed to the third last place, it is the 14th consecutive game without success.



Correa chosen to join Immobile in Inzaghi's classic 3-5-2.

On the Lazzari and Marusic lanes, in defense of space in Musacchio.

Di Francesco immediately launches the newly arrived Rugani among the three in the defense.

Joao Pedro and Pavoletti the tips, Marin and Nainggolan to suggest.

Rossoblù shrewd, Lazio dictates the pace but does not find the spaces.

Curiously, the Biancocelesti get a couple of chances (not exploited) on the counterattack on errors coming out of the Sardinians.

Flat race, which recorded the first real chance near the half hour: Lazzari's cross and Luis Alberto's fine shot at the far post, Cragno put her in a corner.

Spanish unusually imprecise on set pieces, a couple of measuring errors not from him.

The other great opportunity for Lazio happens to Immobile who kicks first on Correa's cross and finds Cragno's reflection.



Start of recovery with injury to Lykogiannis, replaced by Tripaldelli.

Same script as in the first half, but with more speed.

There is a great opportunity for Cagliari: Marin, served by a lateral foul, runs away on the left alone and presents himself in front of Reina but raises his lob too much.

Immobile responds immediately, Cragno careful to reject his conclusion after the movement in the area.

The biancoceleste captain makes up for it shortly after (61 '): launch by Leiva, header by Milinkovic-Savic, Immobile strikes by first intention, Cragno touches but not enough.

Cagliari can no longer be satisfied with containing and demonstrates that it knows how to build.

Marin slips into the area and touches Pavoletti, Radu in a slip intercepts the shot.

Inzaghi sends Lulic and Akpa Akpro (for Lazzari and Luis Alberto) and then Muriqi (for Correa).

Lazio tries to contain and does not become more dangerous in the parts of Cragno.

Di Francesco plays the Simeone card, Zappa makes room for him, and in the last minutes he also lets Cerri and Gaston Pereiro enter (for Pavoletti and Nainggolan).

The Uruguayan has a good ball, delivered to him by Reina's rebound on Cerri's tirocross, but he kicks very high.

Confused ending, sparks between Inzaghi and Di Francesco.
