It looked like the classic ‘minimum effort and maximum result’ match and instead Lazio had to sweat the proverbial seven shirts to get the better of a good Parma filled with young people. It was a header by Muriqi in the 90th minute, deflected in his own goal by Colombi, to decide a match largely controlled by the Biancocelesti who took the lead in the first half with I speak after hitting two poles right with Muriqi e Pereira. Lazio was about to get complicated in the final, after a defensive inattention that left the field to Mihaila on the net at 83 ‘ for the equal that seemed to have to extend the match to extra time. But in the end Muriqi provoked the own goal he conceded to biancocelesti the pass for the quarter-finals against Atalanta.
Large turnover for both coaches. Inzaghi with the unprecedented offensive couple Muriqi-Pereira, D’Aversa with many young people, above all Mihaila to keep an eye on. The match started at a very slow pace, few scoring chances and some flames. As on the occasion of the two biancocelesti poles: Muriqui with a left slide and Pereira with a right to cross. Parma almost never dangerous in the parts of Strakosha. The Parolo network, head, well primed by Pereira, seemed to have put the game downhill and the first half was totally in control for Lazio.
Shooting started along the lines of the first fraction, very low rhythms and some flames. For Lazio they tried First Akpro e Correa with two long-range shots defused by Colombi, Parma slowly gained the field but without creating major dangers for Strakosha. In the final match Mihaila took advantage of a moment of inattention from the Lazio rearguard to leave open field and come face to face with Strakosha that nothing was able on the right touch of the Parma player. A little less than 10 ‘from the end, the match seemed to be directed towards extra time, but precisely at 90 ‘Muriqi’s header, well addressed, was unfortunately deflected into his own goal by Colombi: 2-1 and Lazio in the quarterfinals. For the Biancocelesti the return to the field of Lulic after the long injury. For Parma a good performance that gives hope for a recovery in the league.
