Lazio packed the inaugural goal in the 22nd minute when Joaquin Correa saw the offside flag being lifted when he chased a breakthrough Immobile and outwitted Dragowski to put the ball into an empty net. But after a VAR review, it was found that he was level with the last defender, and the goal was validated.

Dragowski returned to guard his goal against the threat when Lulic fired hard into the bottom corner of the goal. Not long after Pol Lirola had to be pulled out of the field due to injury.

Ribery and Chiesa go wide, while Erick Pulgar gets a yellow card when he stops Correa from moving. Ribery was later withdrawn to be replaced by another player, but the Frenchman looked resentful of the coach’s decision. He continued to file complaints and ask for clarification on the substitute bench.

Towards the game was over, Lazio restored the advantage. Jordan Lukaku won his duel with Riccardo Sottill, and sent in a cross to continue Immobile’s header into the bottom corner of the goal. Fiorentina felt irritated because he considered Lukaku to be in violation and asked for a review of the VAR, but was ignored by the referee.

The drama happened before the fight was over. Luca Ranieri intercepted the settlement of Luis Alberto with his arm that made the referee give a penalty for Lazio. In addition to the penalty, the referee also expelled Ranieri for having received two yellow cards. Felipe Caicedo was surprisingly the penalty taker, but his shot was held by Dragowski.
