Source Lazio Wiki

At the end of the first half of the season Lazio were 6th just one point off Padova, Foggia and Lecco, third, and two behind Brescia. Messina were leaders.

 

Lazio reached second place in the second half of March after four consecutive wins and stayed in the promotion zone from then on. They were currently second together with Bari and had a two-point advantage over fourth placed Brescia (three teams were promoted).

 

The match

 

Manager Juan Carlos Lorenzo decided to throw in Gianni Seghedoni after months of him not playing and to put Claudio Bizzarri on the right wing. And Lazio started well. Very well. In the 5th minute Giancarlo Morrone tried a shot at goal from outside the box on the left, Mario Rossi parried, Paolo Bernasconi was ready for the tap in. Six minutes later, free kick for the Biancocelesti, 30 metres out. Seghedoni shot, the goalkeeper fumbled, 2-0 for Lazio.

 

Messina reacted with a great shot from Eugenio Fascetti which went just out. But in the 38th minute Morrone dribbled past Filippo Regni and beat the Messina goalkeeper for the third time.

 

In the second half, the Islanders tried to push Lazio back and Idilio Cei was miraculous on a Pilade Canuti header. In the 61st minute perfect cross from Morrone, Bizzari headed the ball but it was wide. Four minutes later another great cross from “Il Gaucho”, Giambattista Moschino headed the ball in.

 

In the 73rd minute Messina scored with a Eugenio Brambilla shot from outside the box and, shortly after, Cei managed to parry an almost perfect header from Lucio Mujesan. In the 87th minute Graziano Landoni made it five after the Messina defence unsuccessfully tried to clear the ball.

 

Lazio now had a three-point lead over Brescia with five games to go.
