Thanks to a fatal error that he made that led to the 1-0 victory Sunday in the 13th round of the Italian League, Lazio emerged triumphant in the capital’s derby and knocked his neighbour, Roma, out of the running to climb up to third by goal differential against Atalanta.
Lazio owes their triumph to Brazilian defender Roger Ebanis da Silva of Roma, who committed a crucial error and lost possession of the ball, allowing Felipe Anderson to steal it and score in the 29th minute against Roy Patricio of Portugal.
Lazio returned to winning ways with his first victory since April 2017 in a calculated match on the field of his neighbour, with whom the Olympic stadium is shared, after losses to Salernitana (1-3) and Vienord Rotterdam (0-1) in the “Europa League,” bringing his total to 27 points and moving him up to third place in the standings with a goal difference over Atalanta, who lost on Saturday to league leaders Napoli (1-2).
In the event of a tie or one Inter (24 points) on its host and rival Juventus later on Sunday, Roma may fall to sixth with this loss.
