Only a draw for Lazio who wasted a great opportunity to stay in the running for the Champions League. Until the 92nd minute the Biancocelesti were, at least for one night, ahead of Atalanta. Before the lethal strike from Djuric, who had already equalized for the first time a few minutes earlier.
A cold shower for Igor Tudor’s team which also led to some tension at the end of the match, with the team called to report by the fans with the two senators Ciro Immobile trying to act as mediators between the public and the rest of the squad.
Immobile himself was one of the few positive notes, if only for being back to scoring. He hadn’t scored the net since Valentine’s Day, when the Biancocelesti beat Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. The substitution of Zaccagni in the 32nd minute was surprising, with Tudor worried after the warning that the attacking winger had received in the 15th minute.
Monza level, Djuric proves to be an absolutely right purchase. Pessina’s performance was also excellent, author of the assist for the final 2-2.
