Lazio

SS Lazio this year played very unstable football. They had injury problems and very often played badly even against weak teams.

Regular time finished without any scored goals. However in extra time, Immobile scored a goal after Caicedo assist, and in additional time Mauro Icardi equalized the score by accurate penalty after Stefan Radu fault and a straight red card. In Semi-final they faced Gattuso’s AC Milan and drawn first game with 0:0 result. However, second leg they won with 1:0 result, being more dangerous and accurate.
