JAKARTA - Torino sent Benevento relegated to Serie B in the Italian League after offsetting Lazio with a score of 0-0 in a postponed match of week 25 at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Tuesday local time (Wednesday, western Indonesia time).

One additional point is enough for Il Toro to secure himself from the threat of relegation, because those who are in 17th position now have 36 points or a four-point lead over Benevento ahead of the weekend's final game.

On the other hand for Lazio (68), the result does not change the certainty that they will finish sixth in the standings and get a ticket to the Europa League group stage next season, as Antara reported according to the official Italian League website.

Match statistics show Lazio appears very dominant with at least 71 percent possession of the ball throughout the match.

Unfortunately, their front line was not sharp enough to throw at least 23 attempted shots which did not produce a single goal, although seven of them met targets.

After the host's attempts had passed without success, Torino came close to stealing the lead in the 71st minute if Antonio Sanabria's shot, which had beaten goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha, had not hit the post.

Lazio then had a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in the 82nd minute when they were awarded penalties by referee Michael Fabri and VAR for Nicolas Nkoulou's foul on Ciro Immobile in the area.

However, the opportunity was wasted because Immobile, who was the executioner, fired a penalty that hit the post.

Lazio was close to grabbing a dramatic win in the sixth minute of injury time when Luis Alberto's cross was met by Manuel Lazzari, but the winger's header was also denied by the post, forcing the scoring to last until the end.

In the final match scheduled to take place simultaneously on Sunday, May 23, Lazio will travel to the Mapei Stadium to face Sassuolo.

Meanwhile, Torino's final match, which hosted Benevento at the Olimpico Grande, no longer determines the competition for relegation, because his guests are confirmed to go to Serie B with Crotone and Parma.
