Lazio has maintained a perfect start to the Serie A season, securing a third consecutive victory with a 2-1 comeback win against Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium. After Jesper Karlström put Udinese ahead in the 49th minute following an assist from Keinan Davis, Lazio responded in the final fifteen minutes of the match. Davide Frattesi equalized in the 75th minute following an assist from Mattia Zaccagni. Substitute Albert Gudmundsson clinched the win with an 88th-minute header, assisted by Danilho Doekhi, keeping Lazio at the top of the table with nine points, level with Inter Milan and Roma. This victory marks the first time in 14 years that Lazio has opened the Serie A season with three consecutive wins. The win further highlights the impact of summer signings, specifically Frattesi, who has now scored in three consecutive matches. He has become the first Lazio midfielder to achieve such a feat in his first three appearances. Manager Gennaro Gattuso praised the team’s mentality and ability to react after conceding, noting that recent summer transfers have been instrumental to the strong start. Gattuso also highlighted the squad’s tactical growth, noting the successful implementation of a more aggressive style of play compared to the previous season. As the transfer market deadline passed, the club navigated significant financial pressure and squad restructuring. Key discussions involved the potential departure of Boulaye Dia to Rennes on a loan with an obligation to buy to improve liquidity, as well as the future of Matteo Cancellieri. The arrival of Albert Gudmundsson has provided an immediate impact on the pitch, despite earlier tactical debates regarding whether his style better suited a 4-3-2-1 formation rather than Gattuso’s preferred 4-3-3. The club continues to manage squad depth following injuries to players such as Piotrowski and Solet.
