“Kingsley Ehizibue gave Udinese the lead, finishing a right-footed shot from the right side of the box into the top right corner, assisted by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp's headed pass following a sustained Udinese build-up.”
Pivotal“Luca Pellegrini restored parity for Lazio just after the break, curling a left-footed shot from the left side of the box into the top right corner from a corner kick to make it 1-1.”
Pivotal“Pedro struck from outside the box to give Lazio a 2-1 lead, a composed finish that seemed to settle nerves at the Olimpico just as Udinese had been pushing for the advantage.”
Pivotal“Arthur Atta completed a stunning individual turnaround, converting from the left side of the box after a corner to put Udinese 3-2 ahead in stoppage time — his second goal in four minutes and seemingly the match winner.”

Outstanding performance
Lazio•AttackerLazio and Udinese produced one of Serie A's most chaotic finales of the season, sharing six goals in a match that appeared to be heading toward a comfortable home win before imploding spectacularly in stoppage time. Udinese arrived the more dangerous side throughout — their 53% possession, 16 shots, five big chances created and 41 dangerous attacks all pointed to a team that controlled large portions of the contest — yet their wastefulness in front of goal, missing four big chances, would almost prove fatal. Kingsley Ehizibue's 18th-minute opener from the right side of the box gave the visitors an early cushion, but Luca Pellegrini's instinctive finish from a corner kick levelled shortly after half-time. Pedro's strike from outside the box on 80 minutes looked to have settled it for Lazio, only for substitute Arthur Atta to conjure three goals in four extraordinary minutes — two to make it 2-2 and 2-3, before Daniel Maldini, another substitute, scrambled a 90th-minute equaliser that completed one of the most breathless conclusions the Olimpico has witnessed this season. The draw leaves Lazio in a precarious mid-table position with little separation from the sides below them, while Udinese, having dominated the xG battle only to concede three points in the dying seconds, will be left asking serious questions about game management.
