🟥 77′ Karlo Muhar
🏆👉 CFR CLUJ and Lazio ended the Europa Conference League Playoff Second Leg game with a goalless draw on Thursday 23 February 2023 at the Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The good news is for Lazio because they qualified for the Round of 16.
Lazio was also helped by Karlo Muhar’s expulsion for a second yellow card in the 77th minute, which leaves Cluj in any case never tamed with ten men. Simply put, Ciro Immobile’s goal in the first leg was enough for Lazio to go through. Sarri’s team came out after a rather disappointing first half in the second half, controlling the game and coming close to scoring on two occasions with Luis Alberto.
✅ Stats before the game. Cluj and Lazio will meet for the fourth time in European competitions: the home team has won each of the three previous meetings (one for Cluj, two for Lazio). Lazio have won both of their last two meetings against Romanian sides in European competition, as many as in the previous seven against these teams (D3, L2). Cluj have lost just one of their last eight home games in European competition (W6 D1 including qualifying), keeping clean sheets in each of their six wins in the period. Lazio won the first leg against Cluj (1-0) but have never achieved two consecutive wins in their last 33 matches in European competitions – the last time dating back to the period between October-November 2018 (both against Marseille in the Europa League). Lazio have won only one of their last 16 away games in European competitions (D5 L10): 3-0 against Lokomotiv Moscow on 25 November 2021 in the Europa League. Lazio could win both matches against a single opponent in the knockout phase in European competitions for the first time since March 2013 against Stuttgart, in the round of 16 of the Europa League under coach Vladimir Petkovic.
