Lazio started actively, had three corner kicks and took the lead in the seventh minute. After a breakaway, winger Felipe Anderson scored. Right after that, teammate Tata Castellanos fired in from close range but left the away goalkeeper out of position.
In the 14th minute, the home side were celebrating as Matias Vecino had an easy finish. However, the visitors did not pack anything in and reduced the deficit after two minutes, a header giving the home goalkeeper Loum Tchaouna no chance.
And the same player was on hand in the 22nd minute, this time his attempt was knocked down at the last moment by one of Lazio’s defending players. Lassana Coulibaly’s teammate then fired from distance, but the Roma goalkeeper had an easy job this time.
In the 35th minute, the home side struck relatively out of nowhere, with Brazilian speedster Anderson heading towards the left post to celebrate for the second time in the match. After a great first half, the favourites went into the cabins with a 3:1 lead.
Anderson had a hat-trick after the change of sides, but sent the ball well over from a good position. On the other side, Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi tried his luck, had a perfect moment, then only hit the defending player.
In the 61st minute, Luis Alberto had a lot of space inside the box, but he didn’t show the experience of the Spanish national team and didn’t beat the goalkeeper. The safety finally came in the 87th minute, with Gustav Isaksen finishing the team’s action.
Lazio jumped to seventh place after the win, six points behind the Top 5. Salernitana are last, 12 points clear of the relegation places.
