Lazio put on a show of strength in Turin and sent a resounding message to all of Italy! The Rome-based team secured an emphatic 3-0 victory at Juventus’ home stadium in the 7th round of Serie A, tying Inter at the top of the standings.
The “Laziali” played their favorite style of soccer, with Gattuso having set up his team in exemplary fashion. They let the “Old Lady” control the ball—which she did without creating any real danger—and struck at the right moment, capitalizing on their chances.

The first blow came in the 37th minute, when Provstgaard put Lazio ahead, silencing the Allianz Stadium. Juventus looked to mount a comeback in the second half, but the visitors remained composed, weathered the pressure, and struck again in the 66th minute through Isaksen.
The icing on the cake came in the 89th minute, when Dele-Basiru sealed the final 0-3 score and capped off a dream night for Gattuso’s team.
Christos Mandas also played a significant role in the victory, keeping a clean sheet for the fourth time in just seven matches!
In fact, the last time Lazio celebrated a win at Juventus’ home stadium in Serie A was during the 2017–18 season (1-2), when Thomas Strakosha saved a penalty kick by Dybala in the 90+7th minute that would have tied the game!
