Clock: Lazio strike early to victory in Empoli

The official YouTube channel of the A YouTube series uploaded the highlights of the early series on Sunday between Empoli and Lazio in the Stadio Carlo Castellani.

Boulaye Dia gives Lazio immediate lead

Marco Baroni's men only needed a minute to break the dead end. Taty Castellanos recorded Elseid Hysaj over the field with a wonderful pass, and the latter found Boulaye Dia with an exquisite cross. The Senegalese striker made no mistake up close.

The home team received a painful blow when Lorenzo Colombo earned his second yellow card for a high knee on Samuel Gigot at the end of the first half. However, despite its numerical advantage, the Aquile could not double her lead, which finally disappeared when Elseid Hysaj received his marching commands to stop Emmanuel Gyasi in his track.

Crucial victory for Lazio

Empoli had a goal for a marginal offside call, while Pedro and Gustav Isaksen wasted the opportunities to kill the competition. Therefore, the early goal of Dia remained the lonely difference between the two sides when Lazio increased her hopes of the Champions League by collecting three important points on the street.
