The Official Serie A YouTube channel uploaded the highlights from Sunday’s 1-1 draw between Lazio and Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico.
The similarities between the first-half displays of Gustav Isaksen and his compatriot Jens Odgaard were almost uncanny. They both had the opportunity to break the deadlock thanks to a misplaced pass at the back (from Nicolo Casale and Adam Marusic, respectively), but were denied by the goalkeepers.
The Lazio winger then scored the opener by pouncing on the rebound, only for the Bologna man to follow suit two minutes later in an almost identical fashion.
In the second period, the Biancocelesti launched a scathing attack on the Rossoblu’s goal, but were thwarted by Federico Ravaglia’s heroics. The Bologna goalkeeper produced four saves on Matteo Guendouzi (twice), Matteo Cancellieri, and Tijjani Noslin.
Lazio’s dominance ended when Mario Gila was given his marching orders after committing a challenge on Santiago Castro and then talking himself into trouble. However, his teammates held firm in the final minutes, preventing the Emilians from capitalizing on their numerical advantage.
