Super start for Lazio at the Olimpico. It is forward Miroslav Klose to open the score in the 8th minute. making his way fast forcing Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic to anticipate trying to stop. Yet, Klose calculating his move slow down and then bam…. a right footed shot in the bottom left corner to the delight of the fans. The assist is by midfielder Senad Lulic.

Problems for Inter. Referee Banti giving a penalty to Lazio in the 82nd minute conceded by defender Jeison Murillo after bringing down Lazio forward Keita inside the penalty area. Making matters worst, Murillo gets a second yellow card becoming an automatic Red Card leaving the team with 10 players. Taking the penalty spot is forward Antonio Candreva and there he goes… Candreva converting the penalty with a right footed shot in the top left corner.
