Feyenoord opponents Lazio show resilience and beat Midtjylland
With stamina and a dose of Italian fighting spirit, Lazio have secured an excellent starting position in Group F of the Europa League. The Italians turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win against FC Midtjylland in Rome.
Lazio meet Feyenoord in De Kuip next week.
The Italians got off to a rocky start at the Stadio Olimpico. The home side were already behind after eight minutes when Gustav Tang Isaksen opened the scoring. Just under half an hour later it was Sergej Milinkovic-Savic who equalized for both sides.
Fifteen minutes after the break, Pedro brought victory to the Romans: 2:1.
Revenge
Lazio clearly took revenge for the embarrassing first-leg defeat. On Danish soil, the “Biancocelesti” were sent home 5-1 six weeks ago.
This defeat made Lazio nervous. Back on Italian soil, Serie A have won four out of five games and the Romans have not conceded a single goal. On Sunday, coach Maurizio Sarri’s team ended Atalanta Bergamo’s unbeaten streak of ten consecutive unbeaten matches.
