Lazio was also the big winner in the second Derby della Capitale of the season after winning with 1-0 Roma thanks to a goal by Matias Jacani, amidst incidents, tension, spectacle and VAR, for the 27th matchday of Serie A.

The derby started well before half-time, when clashes broke out between fans and the police, and tension spilled over to the “Olympic” both in the stands and on the pitch. There were many hard marks, also protests, with the home team “Lazio” having the ball at their feet trying to create and Jose Mourinho’s players trying to take advantage of every opportunity that came their way.

Ibáñez’s dismissal with an unnecessary second yellow card just 32 minutes into the game was a major factor in the Giallorossi’s stifling attacking talent, which was without Tammy Abraham in the starting XI anyway.

A tussle off the touchline resulted in the dismissal of Marco Ianni from Lazio’s coaching staff and Roma goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos, with play resuming red in the second half.

Luis Alberto’s duels with Rui Patricio always resulted in the Portuguese keeper’s winner until Felipe Anderson Jacani scored in the 62nd minute and Jacani made it 1-0 with the help of a counterattack against Nikola Zalewski.

In the next phase, Niccolò Cazale found the ball after a fumble in Lazio’s penalty area, but the own goal was disallowed after Chris Smalling was flagged for offside early in the period.

That opportunity aside, Lazio had the upper hand for the rest of the game, with good moments for another goal that might not have been found, but the three points pocketed. The match ended with two red cards at the end, Adam Marusic and Brian Christande fighting at 90+7′.
