Coppa Italia Quarter Final
Saturday, September 6, 1958
Stadio Olimpico, Rome
Lazio Marzotto 2-1
Lazio beat Serie B Marzotto but not without difficulty and qualify for the Coppa Italia semi-final
In the summer Lazio won their Coppa Italia group and proceeded to the next stage which was played in September.
Marzotto, the only team from Serie B to qualify, had surprisingly won their group ahead of Triestina, Udinese and Ravenna.
A big opportunity for Lazio to reach the semifinals.
The match
First match of the season for Fulvio Bernardini’s Lazio and immediately decisive. There was a lot of curiosity on how the Biancocelesti would play.
In the 13th minute Lazio went ahead. After a good save by Bob Lovati on a Giovanni Rovatti shot, Humberto Tozzi gave a splendid assist to Edgidio Fumagalli who beat Roberto Anzolin.
Marzotto found the equaliser in the 24’ minute. Gianni Tibaldo sent a long pass, one-two Fulvio Mosca-Pietro Biagioli, ball to the winger Giorgio Rumignani who passed to Rovatti who gave it such a whack that Lovati was unable to keep it out of the goal.
Lazio put their foot on the accelerator and the Marzotto keeper was forced to make several saves on shots from Claudio Bizzarri, Tozzi and Fumagalli. In the 32’ minute, Ugo Pozzan passed to Fumagalli in the box who crossed for Tozzi. Fantastic volley, 2-1 for Lazio.
That was basically it for the game. In the second half the Biancocelesti controlled the match trying to get used to the new style of play, very similar to how Bernardini used to organise Fiorentina. Bizzarri and Maurillio Prini did have a few chances but squandered them. Marzotto were too inferior to try anything to get back in the game.
All in all, a good game.
