Lazio missed a key opportunity to climb the standings, settling for a 1-1 draw against a determined Udinese side at the Stadio Olimpico. Marco Baroni’s team, visibly struggling with fatigue and missing key players, conceded in the 22nd minute when Thauvin capitalized on a defensive error to put the visitors ahead.
The hosts pushed for an equalizer, with Zaccagni coming close only to be denied by Okoye. The breakthrough finally came in the second half as Romagnoli scored his first league goal of the season, finishing off a Vecino assist. However, the goal was only confirmed after a lengthy VAR review for a potential offside.
Despite a late push from Lazio, Udinese held firm and even threatened to snatch a late winner. The draw means Lazio stays fifth, just one point ahead of Bologna, setting up a crucial showdown in their next fixture.
