Outstanding performance
Lazio•DefenderLazio controlled the game without ever fully suffocating Genoa, racking up 15 shots to Genoa's 8 and doubling their opponents in dangerous attacks, but it took until the 25th minute for that pressure to translate into a goal through Davide Frattesi. The visitors held more of the ball at 54% and matched Lazio for pass accuracy, but struggled to turn possession into genuine threat, managing just one shot on target all game. Lazio's disciplined approach came at a cost defensively, committing 18 fouls to Genoa's 6, with Daniele De Rossi picking up a booking for dissent as tempers flared in the buildup to the goal. A flurry of six substitutions after the hour mark from both sides failed to change the complexion of the match, with the second half producing none of the key moments that shaped the contest in the first 45 minutes. For Lazio, sitting mid-table, this is a much-needed marker of consistency, while Genoa will be frustrated at wasting a strong share of possession without the cutting edge to punish their hosts.
