JAKARTA - Lazio won an important 1-0 victory over Feyennoord in the Champions League Group E match at the Stadio Olimpico, Wednesday, November 8 in the morning WIB. A victory that keeps Lazio's chances to the last 16.

A crucial victory for Lazio. The reason is, Lazio were able to avenge the defeat in the first duel at home to the opponent. At that time, Biancoceleste lost 3-1.

In addition to resolving the grudge, Lazio was also able to improve his position. Now, the Italian Serie A club has moved up to second place with seven points. One point adrift with the leader of the Atletico Madrid standings who slaughtered Celtic 6-0.

Meanwhile, Feyennoord, who is ranked third, has six points. With the close range of points, no team in the group has yet qualified for the round of 16.

Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri expressed his joy for the victory. Because the team showed their best performance when they were not in good condition. Moreover, Lazio then lost Mattia Zaccagni who was injured.

"We showed the best game even though we were not in good condition. We did have difficulties when facing them [Feyenoord]," said Sarri.

"They are a team that is hungry for goals and has a goal machine. But we managed to make it difficult for them," he said again.

However, Sarri was worried about the injuries suffered by his players.

"We hope not to pay dearly this victory with injured players. Zaccagni and Luis Alberto's condition makes us anxious," said the former Chelsea manager.

In that match, Lazio played offensive but struggled to score. Lazio's patience finally gave results when striker Ciro Immobile broke into the opponent's goal with first-half injury time.

This is the 200th goal scored by the former Italian national team striker for Lazio. The goal also closed the first half of the match.

In the second half, Feyennoord tried to get up. They had attacked Lazio's defense. Only the attack of the Dutch Eredivisie team always failed.

The best chance was obtained by the Santiago Gimenez striker in the 67th minute. However, his header that welcomed the free kick was only narrowly wide.

The score did not change until the end of the match. This 1-0 victory also opens up opportunities for Lazio to compete with two other teams.
