Today was the first game of the season and the first game of Serie A. Bologna however were reigning champions.


The match


Lazio started the game well and in the 4th minute they were already dangerous with Luigi Ziroli and four minutes later with Riccardo Okely III. As a natural consequence, it did not take long for the Biancocelesti to score their first goal in Serie A. In the 15th minute Marino Furlani took a free kick and Aldo Spivach volleyed the ball in.


Things got worse for Bologna in the 17th minute as Gastone Martelli had to leave the field due to injury. Both teams had chances to score and the match was rather lively. In the 43rd minute Francesco Rier shot a missile that Mario Gianni managed to parry into corner.


In the second half the Biancocelesti dominated. In the 56th minute Ziroli took a corner kick and Rier headed the ball in the goal for Lazio’s second. Ezio Sclavi was called to action shortly after on a Federico Busini III shot. The Biancocelesti made it three in the 84th minute. Okely III sent a low cross into the box which Piero Pastore comfortably slotted in.


Fantastic start for Lazio in their first Serie A match.
