Lazio 2-1 Rennes: Match report and player ratings

Lazio 2-1 Rennes: Match report and player ratings

After a disappointing 2-1 loss in the first Matchday to CFR Cluj, Lazio tried to turn the tables around as they faced Ligue 1 side Rennes in their second fixture of this 2019/20 UEFA Europa League campaign. Lazio did come off a very comfortable 4-0 win over Genoa this past Sunday which really served as a morale boost as they headed into this tough Group E clash against the French side.

Match official Serhiy Boyko blew his whistle and the match kicked off at the Stadio Olimpico. The first half didn’t really have much action from either sides. Some semi-climactic moments came when Rennes appealed for two penalties. The first was immediately waved off and the replay showed a clear dive from attacker Flavien Tait. The second appeal was about an unintentional hand ball against Francesco Acerbi as it hit off the defender’s foot and bounced off his arm as he was trying to block a pass. The referee made the right call and waved it off as it was clear that Acerbi’s intentions was not to block it with his arm and so play resumed. The first half ended with no goals from either side. 0-0.

#UEFAEuropaLeague, #LazioRennes: Lazio are lacking creativity immensely and struggling to command the middle of the park. The absence of #LuisAlberto and #MilinkovicSavic is very evident.
