SS Lazio vs US Sassuolo
Match Report
Lazio snatched all three points against Sassuolo with a dramatic stoppage-time winner from Adam Marusic at the Stadio Olimpico. The defender pounced on a calamitous error from goalkeeper Alen Muric, heading home from close range in the 92nd minute to seal a 2-1 victory.
Daniel Maldini had given the hosts the perfect start, breaking the deadlock inside just two minutes. Sassuolo fought back through Armand Laurienté, who restored parity in the 35th minute to send the sides in level at the break.
The second half turned scrappy, with Sassuolo collecting four yellow cards as tempers frayed. Mattia Cancellieri delivered the decisive cross that Muric failed to claim, leaving Marusic with the simplest of finishes.
The victory keeps Lazio's European ambitions alive as they climb the Serie A table, while Sassuolo will be left cursing a late goalkeeper blunder that turned a deserved point into a painful defeat.
