Lazio’s journey in the new Europa League has started off on the right foot. Marco Baroni’s team, which made its debut in a continental competition today, beat Dinamo Kiev 3-0 and immediately moved to the top of the table thanks to goal difference. How did the teams that will be the Capitoline team’s next rivals perform? A surprise defeat for Porto against Bodo/Glimt, led by an unstoppable Hauge. Ludogorets also lost at home against Slavia Prague, while Twente (on the difficult pitch of Manchester United) and Nice (against Real Sociedad) drew. Tomorrow it will be Ajax and Braga’s turn.
