Watch: Lazio Aggravate Genoa Wounds with Dominant Display – The Highlights

The official Serie A YouTube channel uploaded the highlights from Monday’s encounter at the Luigi Ferraris, as a depleted Lazio side returned to winning ways at the expense of Genoa.

Matteo Cancellieri & Taty Castellanos Run Wild

The Biancocelesti took the lead almost immediately, as Matteo Cancellieri was released following a give-and-go with Taty Castellanos, and expertly placed his shot in the far corner to open his account for the season. The two men almost combined to add a second a few minutes later, but were denied by Nicola Leali, who abandoned his box.

Nevertheless, Lazio still found the second goal once more, as they once again pounced on Genoa’s advanced defensive line to catch them off guard. Castellanos launched the play himself, and was then teed off by Adam Marusic, who hurt himself while delivering the assist. On the other end of the pitch, Ivan Provedel had to produce a few saves to maintain the visitors’ healthy lead.

Mattia Zaccagni Makes it 3-0

After the interval, the referee awarded the Grifone a spot-kick for a handball on Alessio Romagnoli, but was urged by the VAR to review the play, so he ended up reversing his decision. On the contrary, it was Lazio who added to their lead, as a goalmouth scramble culminated in a cool finish from Mattia Zaccagni.

Later in the second half, Cancellieri should have added the Aquile’s fourth, but somehow scuffed his shot wide with the goal at his mercy. Therefore, it ended 3-0 at Marassi, with Lazio raising their tally to six points.
