If the race for the Champions League is unbreathable in Ligue 1, Serie A is far from being outdone in this area. Indeed, four days from the end, only six points separate the third, third, from Fiorentina, sixth. Between the two, Lazio intended to pull out of the game on Empoli's lawn this Saturday. And from the start, the Romais were oppressed, and after only 56 seconds of play, the old Rémois Boulaye Dia took advantage of a hysaj caviar to open the score of the flat foot to the second post (0-1, 1st). Small, Empoli players will multiply the errors, like a completely lost Lorenzo Colombo. The young Italian striker will receive two yellow cards in less than five minutes, the second which could even have been worth a dry expulsion for a sole on the ankle of Gigot, condemning the chances of return of his own.
Very in leg, Matteo Guendouzi could even have been rewarded for a goal just before returning to the locker room on a tense strike, but Vasquez was well relaxed to slam the ball in corner. In the second half, the premises returned with more intentions, and Mattia Viti thought they had brought the two teams up to the height after a cleansing on a free kick, but the defender was in the offside position. The Lazzialis had several opportunities to double the bet through Pedro or Castellanos, but have lacked too much of precision against the cages. At the end of the meeting, the decisive passer Elsed Hysaj was expelled for a second yellow card. With this success, Lazio virtually returned to the Top 4, thus putting pressure on Juventus and Bologna, which compete in the evening.
