Poker di Simeone stretches Lazio, Verona wins 4-1

Giovanni Simeone stretches Lazio. The poker of the young Argentine striker allows Verona to win 4-1 on Maurizio Sarri’s team at Bentegodi. A clear success with the Gialloblu who touched other goals on several occasions and with Lazio who woke up late, the goal from Immobile and the crossbar from Milinkovic are not enough. Tudor’s Verona with these three points rises to 11 points while the biancocelesti remain firm at 14. The hosts start very strong and surprise Lazio going close to the advantage with Ilic on 13 ‘and 20’ and with Barak on 16 ‘, in the 24th minute when in front of Reina he incredibly puts out and in the 27th minute when he misses a penalty in motion. However, the advantage of the Scaligeri arrives at 30 ‘with Caprari finding the perfect corridor for Simeone’s race who anticipates Reina and slips into the corner for the 1-0. Sarri’s team accuses the blow and at 34 ‘risks again but Caprari sends very high, then at 37’ again Simeone does not give Reina escape: Ilic recovers the ball after Reina’s postponement, ball for Simeone who concludes with power under the crossroads for the 2-0 Verona. Lazio in the final try to react with Immobile with no luck, but the attacker makes up for it at the beginning of the second half: in the 47th minute, Immobile runs off and slips Montipò with a sharp shot in the ground run. At 52 ‘Felipe Anderson almost equalized but the conclusion crossed the mirror of the goal without finding winning deviations. Verona reacts and at 62 ‘still scores: Caprari’s wonderful assist diagonally in the area for Simeone who beats Reina out for his personal hat-trick. Lazio try to get back into the game and in the 74th minute Milinkovic hits the crossbar, then Patric and Luis Alberto try but Montipò is careful. Lazio is unbalanced and still risks behind: in the 80th minute, Lazovic still engages Reina. Then in the 94th minute Cholito signs the fourth goal: a soft Pharaohs cross with Simeone who fits in with the right timing and with a header he gathers and beats Reina again for the triumph of Verona.
