Lazio: Alberto (69'); Torino: Berenguer (54'), Rincon (64'), Edera (73')

Lazio entered the late match of round 16 of Serie A with the ambition to win and get into the Top 4. However, the capital team faced fierce resistance from Torino, a team that always knows how to make it difficult for big teams. Holding Inter Milan and AC Milan in the last two away matches is proof of the Turin team's discomfort.

In the first half, the match did not have many notable situations. Lazio played a disjointed attack, unable to put pressure on the away team's defense. Meanwhile, Torino's counter-attacking style was quite dangerous and they had at least 3 good missed opportunities.

The game was a tug of war for most of the first half, and it wasn't until the injury time that the drama began, with the highlight being the headbutt between striker Immobile and defender Burdisso from the visiting team Torino. Referee Giacomelli then had to rely on VAR technology to decide to give the Lazio striker a red card.

Lazio took full advantage of their man advantage to win.

Having to play with only 10 men on the field made Lazio completely lose the game to the away team Torino. In the 54th minute, from a ball on the left wing, Berenguer soloed to eliminate two defenders of the home team before launching a diagonal shot to open the score of the match. 10 minutes later, Tomas Rincon broke through the siege of two Lazio players and had a perfect curling shot from outside the penalty area to double the gap.

In the 69th minute, Luis Alberto opened up hope of a point for the home team with a dribble into the penalty area and a delicate shot to reduce the gap to 1-2. However, Lazio's joy did not last long, because just 4 minutes later, substitute Edera had a powerful shot from outside the penalty area to seal a 3-1 victory for the away team Torino.

With this defeat, Lazio continues to stay in 5th place on the rankings with 32 points. Meanwhile, Torino rose to 8th place with 23 points.
