Game 10, Serie B
Sunday, November 16, 1980
Stadio Olimpico, Rome
Lazio Bari 3-0
A good win against Bari with goals from Viola, Chiodi and Mastropasqua
Lazio's impact in Serie B had also been positive and after nine games they were top of the table together with Milan with a two-point advantage over third place. They had yet to lose, having won 5 and drawn 4.
The match
Bari started the game much better than Lazio and in the first 20 minutes almost scored when Aldo Serena collected a Roberto Bacchin assist and found himself unmarked in front of Maurizio Moscatelli who managed to parry the powerful shot. The future Italy centre forward could then have tapped the ball in on the rebound, even if from a difficult position, but his shot went out.
At this point Lazio began playing. In the 24th minute an Alberto Bigon header beat Angelo Venturelli but Giuliano Belluzzi cleared on the line. Three minutes later there was a free kick on the right. Filippo Citterio crossed and Nando Viola scored.
In the 48th minute, splendid ball from Dario Sanguin to Stefano Chiodi who once in the box made no mistake and scored his first goal for his new club.
Despite being two nil down, Bari still battled to try and score and a great volley from Bacchin was parried spectacularly by Moscatelli. After a couple of shots from Carlo Perrone and Chiodi which just missed the target, Lazio made it three. In the 75th minute Viola crossed from the left, Bigon got a touch but not the power, in came Giorgio Mastropasqua and Lazio 3 Bari 0.
