The intense and thrilling derby in Italy’s capital between Lazio and Roma ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams sharing points in the 32nd week of Serie A.
The first half ended goalless despite numerous chances for both teams, leaving everything to be decided in the second half. Lazio, under Marco Baroni, started stronger, with experienced Alessio Romagnoli scoring the opening goal off a Luca Pellegrini assist.
Roma, managed by Claudio Ranieri, pushed hard for an equalizer from the 50th minute, creating several dangerous chances. However, Christos Mandas’ brilliance in goal denied Roma until Matias Soulé’s spectacular strike.
Roma’s relentless attacks finally paid off when a quick exchange of passes outside the box led to a short pass from Alexis Saelemaekers to Matias Soulé. The young forward unleashed a stunning left-footed shot from 20 meters, which hit the crossbar before crossing the line, leveling the match.
