Game 7, Serie A
Sunday, November 2, 1952
Stadio Torino, Rome
Lazio Palermo 2-0
An Antoniotti brace and Sentimenti IV’s saves allow the Biancocelesti to beat the Rosaneri
In the first six games of the season Lazio had won three, drawn one and lost two and were currently fifth.
The match
There was a strong wind blowing behind Palermo in the first half and that created some difficulty for the Biancocelesti, but after 11 minutes Lazio scored. Luciano Marchetti made a mistake and Lelio Antoniotti took advantage, arriving face to face with the keeper. Low shot, 1-0 for the Biancocelesti.
Lazio had numerous chances to double the score with Per Bredesen and Aldo Puccinelli but were it not for Lucidio Sentimenti IV, Palermo could also easily have equalised. Lorenzo Bettini and Flavio Cecconi both had chances but they were parried by the legendary keeper. The islanders had another chance with Enrique Martegani but his shot hit the woodwork.
In the 62nd minute Lazio scored again with Antoniotti. Ragnar Larsen had tried a shot but it was walled, the Norwegian tried again but again the Palermo defence cleared. But there was nothing they could do on Antoniotti’s shot.
From then on, the Rosanero did not have the strength for a comeback and the Biancocelesti easily controlled the rest of the match.
