Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lazio, 5th position with 40 points and a positive goal difference of +10
Pescara, 20th position with 9 points and a negative goal difference of -27

Lazio crushing Pescara and keep up the race for a spot in the Europa League next season while Pescara praying for salvation.   Pescara winning only 1 game this season and by now it seems the relegation to Serie B is almost a crude reality.  A nightmare for Pescara with this defeat remaining in the last position of the Serie A with only 9 points and losing 16 games!

Lazio upsetting Pescara at the Adriatico Stadium with a superb performance by midfielder Marco Parolo scoring a poker!   Parolo scoring a total of 5 goals this season.  An unforgettable match by Parolo with his goals in the 10th, 14th, 49th, and 77th minute.   Lazio players and fans embracing Parolo.

An emotional match for the ex-Pescara player forward Ciro Immobile.  It was a “Kodak moment” when Immobile scored in the 68th minute for the Pescara 2 – 5 Lazio.   Immobile did not celebrate his goal and Pescara fans applauded him as to thank him for the good moments while playing for Pescara.   Immobile thank them back.
