At the Olimpico, for the first leg of the round of 16, the Biancocelesti took the lead in the 18th minute thanks to a goal by the Spaniard. However, the Dutch equalized in the 45th minute through Pavlidis and scored the winning goal in the 62nd minute through former AC Milan player Kerkez
Home slip for Lazio in the first leg of the Round of 16 of the Conference League. Ak Alkmaar’s comeback success after Pedro’s goal in the 18th minute had given the illusion of a match already set up in favor of Sarri’s team. Which instead shows itself to be very uncertain in the game and too imprecise with shooting: far from Friday’s performance that brought victory on the Napoli field. The Dutch equalized before the interval and scored the match goal on 17′ of the second half, amid obvious mistakes by the Biancocelesti. Now decidedly complicated qualification prospects for Lazio in view of the return on March 16 in the Netherlands.
PAVLIDIS ANSWERS PEDRO
—
Sarri changes half the team compared to the training deployed at Maradona. He has to do without the injured Immobile but does not give up on Milinkovic and Luis Alberto as owners. Between the posts, space for Maximiano. In defence, Casale and Lazzari are back; Cataldi resumes his place in directing; Felipe Anderson moved to the center of the trident with Pedro’s graft on the right. Arriving start of Lazio. In the 3rd minute, Milinkovic from a good position didn’t find the right touch to frame the goal. Two minutes, header from the Serbian: out. The Dutch lengthen: the match moves to midfield. In the 18th minute, Lazio took the lead to take the lead. From the left, Zaccagni serves Pedro who makes Ryan dry from the center of the box with a left footed volley. Az Alkmaar comes forward: Maximiano anticipates Reijnders. Lazio starts again: Pedro’s shot rejected by the goalkeeper. But Jansen’s team knows how to become dangerous: in the 31st minute, a post from Mijnans’ touch deflected by Cataldi. The biancocelesti activate the pressing to dampen the pace of the opponents. With the quality of the dribble, Sarri’s formation regains meters. Casale, already aching in the knee (Romagnoli warming up), suffers a hard challenge from Pavlidis. In the 45th minute, the Dutch draw. Milinkovic loses the ball, Reijnders sorts for Karlsson on the left, assists for Pavlidis who escapes Patric and mocks the uncertain Maximiano. Milinkovic tries to redeem himself immediately: a fireball from distance that stamps the crossbar after being handled by Ryan.
DUTCH RETURN
—
Upon returning after the break, Romagnoli replaced Casale. Lazio in offensive projection. Good Lazio phrasing in the 8th minute, but Felipe Anderson’s shot was weak, saved by Ryan. Az well covered. In the 14th minute, a quick incursion by Luis Alberto, Milinkovic’s attempt was controlled by Ryan. On 17′, the overtaking of the Dutch. Pedro escaped the ball, Kerkez pushes himself, who triangulates with Karlsson and goes to slip in the undecided Maximiano. Lazio frozen by Az’s turnaround. Sarri decides two substitutions. Vecino and Cancellieri take over Cataldi and Pedro. Lazio regrets: in the 28th minute, Ryan Felipe Anderson’s rejection misses the goal. Chincischia Luis Alberto in the area, Odgaard can remedy. In the background a shot by Felipe Anderson. Frantic and imprecise Sarri’s team in the final phase. In the 37th minute, poker changes between the Dutch: here are van Brederode, de Wit, Meerdink and Mihailovic for Pavlidis, Odgaard, Kerkez and Karlsson. Lazio vainly tries to hang up the result until the last breath of the three minutes of added time, but Az holds on and collects a very important success among the exultation of the 500 Dutch fans at the Olimpico.
