Lazio lost a minimum to Roma (2: 3), which was enough to pass the final of the Cup of Italy.

Semi-final of the Cup of Italy has pleased spectators with an interesting lot. In one of the pairs Roman collectives came together - Lazio and Roma. In the first game Lazio won a fairly confident victory, earning a comfortable advantage for himself in two goals. This development of events put Rom in a very disadvantageous situation.

The beginning of the match made it clear what roles the teams will play. Roma had a lot of possession of the ball and intensively attacked, well, Lazio defended himself and played on counterattacks.

Already in the second minute Edin Dzeko almost opened the scoring, breaking through the pole, but in the fifth minute Lazio answered exactly the same moment. After the starting exchange of chances further points created by Roma.

Especially noteworthy is the time of El-Shaarawi in the 20th minute. The player broke into the penalty area and punched into the far corner, after which the goalkeeper unsuccessfully hit the ball. Lazio was lucky that there were no Roma players nearby.

In turn, Lazio did not especially create moments and did not hit the goal, but by the end of the half he had found his chance. This Immobile won the fight from the defenders and struck with a lethal position. Alisson bailed out, but Milinkovich-Savic. So, without spending a lot of strength in the attack, the wards of Simone Inzaghi stepped forward.

But before the end of the half there was an impression that the goal scored played a cruel joke with Lazio, who believed in his further passage. Even before the break, El-Shaarawi played the ball. Crudely mistaken De Vrey, who knocked the ball gave it to the player Roma, well, that left to shoot the gate.

The second half began with the advantage of Lazio. The team attacked more and owned the ball, which is quite strange in this situation. It is logical that such a start of the game brought for Lazio the result. Roma's defense failed and Immobile took a throw from the center of the field, went one on one and figured out the goalkeeper. We can say that this goal has removed questions about the intrigue of the confrontation.

Roma, this goal is very shattered psychologically and some time later, Lazio continued to attack and inflicted a few not the most accurate blows.

But then Roma got ready to play for her own prestige. The result was the goal of Mohammed Salah, who finished off the ball after hitting the post from El-Shaarawi.

Until the end of the match Roma made the maximum in order to at least win the match. Go forward Wolves still succeeded. Salah was again faster than others on finishing off. Perhaps, Roma deserved a minimal victory, but certainly did not deserve to pass to the final. Lazio confidently reached the final of the Italian Cup and will wait for an opponent from the pair Juventus / Napoli.
