JAKARTA - Lazio reaped bad results in the Italian Serie A match. Appearing at the opponent's home at the Dall'Ara Stadium, Saturday, November 5 in the morning WIB, Lazio were forced to give up 1-0 by Bologna. The defeat that thwarted Lazio replaced Napoli in the standings.

The defeat was unexpected. Moreover, Lazio appeared to attack so that he was able to suppress the opponent's defense. It's just that Biancocelesti always fails to maximize every opportunity.

On the other hand, Bologna was able to take advantage of one chance to score. The victory immediately brought Bologna to sixth position with 18 points.

Meanwhile, Lazio, who have 16 points, are stuck in eighth place. If they win against Bologna, they will definitely shift Napoli because they will move up to fifth position

In that duel, coach Maurizio Sarri did not field the Ciro Immobile striker who scored the only goal Lazio beat Fiorentina 1-0.

Immobile is considered unsuitable and well-developed. However, the former Italian national team striker was only deployed in the second half.

Striker Valentin Castellanos who replaced Immobile actually played quite well. He almost broke into the opponent's goal in the early minutes of the match.

However, his header, which met Manuel Lazzari's cross, bounced slightly over the crossbar.

Furthermore, the kick of midfielder Luis Alberto who received the ball from a corner still hit the post. The ball then rebounded but was also still thwarted by Castellanos.

Bologna did last a lot. But they also had the opportunity to score goals.

At least striker Joshua Zirkzee had two chances before the end of the first half. However, the young striker who previously played at Bayern Munich failed to convert into a goal.

In the second half, Bologna took the initiative to attack. As a result, only one minute into the game, the hosts could immediately break into the opponent's goal through Scottish midfielder Lewis Brown.

The goal started with Zirkzee's effort to release the ball into the net. The opportunity was then greeted by Ferguson who broke into Lazio's goal. Score 1-0 to Bologna.

This is Ferguson's 10th goal with Bologna. He also matched Scottish legend Denis Law when he did it with Torino in 1961/1962.

Left behind by one goal made Lazio try to get up. But they always failed to equalize. T

Including Castellanos who asked for a penalty when he was handed down. His request was rejected by the referee because there were no violations.

Meanwhile, Bologna also had several chances. However, they couldn't add a goal. The 1-0 score for Bologna lasted until the end of the match.
