Lazio Milan 3-1
The Biancocelesti dominate Milan and win thanks to Sanero and a Lamon brace
Lazio in 1926-27 had been promoted to the National Division and played in the A Group. So far Lazio were not doing very well. They had lost the first four games without scoring, but in the last two they managed to win against Brescia and draw in Naples. Today was an important and difficult match against Milan.
The match: Sunday, November 20, 1927, Stadio Nazionale, Rome
Lazio were finally without any injured players while Milan were missing Pietro Pastore.
In the first half there was a very strong wind blowing behind the Biancocelesti, but while Ezio Sclavi remained completely inactive, the Milan goal remained miraculously untouched as Dario Compiani made at least three fantastic saves and Gino Lamon in the 15th minute wasted an open goal chance.
In the second half, however, despite the unfavourable wind, Lazio accentuated their superiority and the goals finally arrived. In the 48th minute Carlo Cevennini V crossed low into the box and this time Lamon scored. The Biancocelesti took control of the game and Milan disappeared. After a handball in the Milan box, ignored by the referee, Renato Sanero scored in the 80th minute and Lamon got his brace two minutes later. The Milan attack finally woke up with 40 seconds left of the match and reduced the deficit with Mariano Tansini.
A very prestigious win for Lazio.
