Serie A: Lazio wins against Juventus for the first of Tudor

Published:

By: Manu Tournoux

For his first on the bench, Igor Tudor made the perfect shot against Juventus Turin third in the championship. The Croatian technician made the strong choice to leave Mattéo Guendouzi on the bench today. The French midfielder had not been a substitute in the league since September 30. Other major players in the squad were missing at the start of the match, but the Biancocelesti gradually gained confidence in the match. Federico Chiesa, in better shape than in recent matches, stood out with the first important opportunity of the match. His shot was perfectly saved by Christos Mandas.

For the first time starting since his shin injury, Moise Kean failed to weigh on the Lazio defense. The return of the stars of the Roman team changed the meeting. Vecino has a chance at the end of the match with an open-angle shot from 20 yards. His shot went wide of Wojciech Szczesny's goal. Then at the very end of the match, on a cross from Mattéo Guendouzi, Adam Marusic jumped higher than everyone and deceived the Juventus goalkeeper (90th + 3). The end of the match is whistled immediately. Like last year, Lazio triumphed over the Turinese on their home field. The burst of pride arrived for the premiere of Igor Tudor. Lazio had not kept a clean sheet for five matches. The “Old Lady” no longer advances in the rankings. With this defeat, Juventus can still lose ground on AC Milan who travel to Florence this evening.
