🏆👉 Lazio lost the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16, First Leg against AZ Alkmaar on Tuesday 7 March 2023 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. Alkmaar overturn Lazio’s initial advantage, signed by Pedro with Vangelis Pavlidis in the first half and with Milos Kerkez in the 62nd minute. Sarri’s team has an excellent approach to the match, but AZ is more balanced and cynical and takes home the first round. The Second Leg will be played on Thursday 16 March at the AFAS Stadion in the Netherlands.
Lazio opened the score in the 18th minute. Pedro defeated AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper Mathew Ryan with a left-footed shot to the center. The assist is by Mattia Zaccagni.
