The back three saw Zeki Celik, Gianluca Mancini, and Evan N'Dicka form the line. Devyne Rensch and Angelino provided with to a midfield consisting of Kouadio Kone and Bryan Cristante. Up ahead, Lorenzo Pellegrini supported the attacking partnership of Evan Ferguson and Matias Soule."
"For much of the first half, both Lazio and Roma probed but found few weaknesses in the opposition's defensive organization. Roma, depleted by absences, were compact and cautious, while Lazio sought to dominate possession and stretch the flanks, particularly using Zaccagni and Pedro. The game's decisive moment came in the 38th minute when Roma capitalized on a turnover, a ball lost clumsily Tavares."
