🧨 Lazio end winless run, Marusic nets 93rd-minute 2-1, Muric 😱
In a semi-deserted Stadio Olimpico with fewer than 2,000 in attendance, Lazio winsat the last second and gets 3 points again after more than a month: 2-1 against Sassuolo thanks to goals by Maldini (2')and Marusic (93'), who capitalizes on a mistake by Muric . For a good Sassuolo side, Laurienté's screamer (35')isn't enough.
The two teams take turns controlling the game: Lazio starts well, Sassuolo comes back, and in the final minutes, Sarri's team attacks relentlesslyuntil Marusic's goal, despite debutant Motta in goal taking a risk that he immediately remedies while the result was still in the balance.
