goals from Pedro and Milinkovic, Sarri second at +5 on Inter- Corriere.it

MONZA The Forza Italia derby is won by Senator Claudio Lotito’s team, now absent in Monza (as, moreover, the founder of the party, Silvio Berlusconi who remained in Arcore: he posted on Instagram during the game a photo of the tulips he planted). Sarri’s Lazioon the Sunday in which he found Ciro Immobile back on the pitch for a month and absent from the match against Napoli on 3 March last, consolidates the second place in the standings. In a stadium that has never been so full (record attendance with over 14,000 attendances, in the 100th home match of the Berlusconi era), the laziali get rid of Palladino’s team without worriestoday deprived due to disqualification of two fundamental players such as Pessina and Izzo.

After an initial phase of ball possession by the landlords, Lazio took the lead when not even a quarter of an hour had passed. Marlon lets Zaccagni cross, Rovella bungles and Pedro breaks into the Brianza nativity scene, giving the Sarriani the advantage.

In the first half, the Brianza players had two chances to equalize with cues from Ciurria. The assist for Sensi produces a header from the little guy, just wide. The passage through Petagna generates a blow blocked by Provedel’s big hands. On the other hand, Lazio play by heart even without a center forward but leaning on a trident that has Felipe Anderson as a fake new between Pedro and Zaccagni. Luis Alberto to have the chance to double up with a shot in the first half.

In the second half Milinkovic Savic, up to that moment not very visible, ends the meeting with a jewel from a free-kick. There is also glory for Immobile who returns to the field after missing the derby and the national team. Nervousness for Luis Alberto, who gets angry when Sarri calls him back to the benchrefuses to shake his hand and throws the shin guards on the ground. Lazio gets the fifth success in the last six games, in which they have never conceded a single goal, and consolidate their place in the Champions League, Monza nails but still has a margin of 15 points on the relegation zone.
