Lazio secured their second consecutive Serie A victory with a 1-0 win over Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico. Davide Frattesi scored the decisive goal in the 25th minute, following a cross from Nuno Tavares. This marks Frattesi’s second goal in two appearances for the club.
Despite the win, Lazio faced challenges, including a muscle injury to midfielder Nicolò Rovella, who was replaced by Belahyane. Genoa, managed by Daniele De Rossi, struggled to create significant opportunities and remained at zero points in the standings. Lazio's coach, Gennaro Gattuso, praised the team's high-pressure mentality and defensive solidity, though he noted the need for better decision-making in open play.
Following the match, Gattuso emphasized the ongoing tactical transition of the squad, stating, “The mentality is right... It is not easy to play with this ultra-offensive pressure.” The victory moves Lazio to six points in the league standings.
