The match
Lazio played a great match and were much better than their opponents on every inch of the pitch. Far superior quality in the players especially Fulvio Bernardini, Dante FIlippi and Augusto Parboni. The Biancocelesti’s first goal arrived in the 45th minute. A perfect assist from Augusto Faccani allowed Filippi to score. A big scare arrived 30 seconds after when a Pino Ghisi III – Osvaldo Sacchi one-two allowed the former to score, but he was in offside. In the second half, after a rather monotonous first 25 minutes, Lazio scored another three. The first, by Pio Maneschi on a Bernardini assist came in the 70th minute, then Bernardini scored a brace. His first goal came in the 71st minute following an Aldo Fraschetti cross, his second in the 79th when Alessandro Varini crossed in the box, Guido Cavalli tried to clear but gave the ball to the Lazio star who made it four.
In the other match, Ideale won 2-0 because Libertas Palermo did not turn up.
