JAKARTA - Lazio and Udinese share one point after playing matchday 15 of the Italian League which was marked by a rain of eight goals and ended with a score of 4-4 at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Thursday local time (Friday, western Indonesia time).

In addition to the goal barrage, this match was also accompanied by three red cards that were shown by referee Marco Piccinini, one for Lazio and two for Udinese.

Udinese took the lead through Beto's header before the Portuguese striker doubled the visitors' advantage with a right-footed strike in the 32nd minute.

Two minutes then, Ciro Immobile struck back for Lazio, but Udinese restored a two-goal margin as Nahuel Molina finished off Gerard Deulofeu's pass just before half-time.

Lazio tried to bounce back after the break and six minutes into the second half, Pedro made it 2-3 by taking advantage of a corner from the hosts.

Then in the 56th minute, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic managed to make the position 3-3 with a long-range shot that nestled into the top left corner of the visitors' goal.

Ironically a minute later Lazio had to lose Patric Gabarron who received a second yellow card after dropping Isaac Success.

Instead of taking advantage of the number of players, Udinese even had to play with ten men since the 69th minute because Molina got his second yellow card.

Lazio then took the lead through Francesco Acerbi's header from Toma Basic's 79th-minute free-kick, which was reviewed by VAR before making it 4-3.

The victory that was in sight was simply shattered in the ninth minute of injury time when Tolgay Arslan completed Fernando Forestieri's pass to close the match with the score 4-4.

Just seconds before blowing the whistle to mark the end of the game, Piccinini issued his third red card for midfielder Udinese Walace.

This result forced Lazio to be stuck in ninth place in the standings with 22 points after being overtaken by Bologna (24) who won two days ago, while Udinese (16) was stuck in 14th place, according to the Italian League's official website.

Torino throw away the lead

In another early match at the Olimpico Grande, Torino threw away their already two-goal lead over the visitors and had to settle for just one point after drawing 2-2 down by Empoli.

Tomasso Pobega and Marko Pjaca gave Torino a 2-0 lead in the first 15 minutes, but they had to go on with just ten men as Wilfried Singo received a red card in the 32nd minute.

Two minutes into the situation, Empoli pulled back through Simone Romagnoli's goal and could only take advantage of the situation again in the 72nd minute when Andrea La Mantia found the net for the hosts to force the game to a 2-2 draw.

Torino did not move from 13th place with 18 points, two strips, and two points just below Empoli.
