Serie A match report: Lazio 2-1 A.S Roma: last minute Klose strike seals derby win: 2nd half report
Radu was substituted before the resumption of second-half as he could not continue further after injuring his knee in a collision with Rosi.
Edy Reja’s men started the second half strongly and could have scored almost immediately after the resumption. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hernanes-c16150 played a lovely through ball to Cisse, who blasted his shot wide of the goal after a lovely first touch.
Immediately after the chance, Simon Kjaer pulled down http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-Brocchi-c9510 inside the box and the referee pointed to the spot without any hesitation. The former Palermo star was shown a straight red card for being the last man at the
time of his tackle on the attacker. Hernanes stepped up to take the spot kick and sent Stekelenburg the wrong way to make it 1-1 in the 51st minute.
The host’s made another substitution just around the hour mark, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-González-c5288.
Both teams continued to create several scoring opportunities, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Osvaldo-c28821 burst into the opposition box before laying a dangerous low cross but Bojan failed to connect to it and Lazio defenders cleared the ball to safety.
Klose had a wonderful chance to put the host’s in front after Hernanes played a lovely chip shot for the German but he rushed his shot and blasted it over the bar from 10 yards. That was probably the best scoring chance of the
second half.
Both teams decided to use their final subs of the evening in the final quarter of the game. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bojan-Krkic-c7794 for Roma, while Matuzalem came on for Brocchi for Lazio.
Cisse had a double opportunity to score towards the dying minutes of the game. The former Olympique Marseille star hit the post with his first effort and his second chance was brilliantly blocked by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabriel-Heinze-c14310 to deny the Biancazzurri.
The host’s were out all guns blazing in the final 10 minutes of the game and created several opportunities to score but all went in vain. Just when it looked like that the two teams will share the spoils, Klose came up with a moment
of brilliance seconds before the full-time whistle. Matuzalem played a lovely ball in the centre which was met by the former Bayern Munich star, who calmly rolled the ball into the back of the net to steal a stunning victory for his side.
