The beginning of the season had not been good. They were now 13th, three points clear of the relegation zone. Jesse Carver had just come in as new technical director.


A win today would be nice!!!!


The match


The Biancocelesti had to play without Attilio Giovannini and Renzo Burini, both suspended after the previous match against Juventus (the former had been sent off for dissent) and they were substituted by Primo Sentimenti V and Rinaldo Olivieri.


Lazio went ahead immediately. In the 3rd minute a Guglielmo Toros fumble allowed Lorenzo Bettini to be all alone in front of the goalkeeper and he did not miss his chance. This meant that Pro Patria had to change their game plan but they still created a number of headaches for goalkeeper Bob Lovati. However, in the 22nd minute the Biancocelesti made it two. Sergio Frascoli slipped on the ball and gave Bettini another unmissable chance. Lazio 2 Pro Patria 0. The game was virtually over. Pro Patria gave up and the Biancocelesti controlled the rest of the game.


At the end of the match manager Luigi Ferrero gave in his notice in solidarity with Roberto Copernico who had been sacked earlier in the week.
