Italian Championship: Lazio wastes 3 valuable points in the race towards the Champions League

Lazio wasted three valuable points at home in its quest to snatch one of the qualifying places for the Champions League, by falling to its guest Turin 0-1 in the thirty-first stage of the Italian Football League , and is threatened with losing second place in favor of Juventus, who hosts leaders Napoli on Sunday.


Lazio's balance froze at 61 points compared to 59 for Juventus, whose hopes of participating in the Champions League revived after he succeeded in his appeal after deducting 15 points from his balance because, according to mathematical justice, he regularly recorded exaggerated capital gains in his accounts when selling some players.


Roma, Lazio's neighbor, with whom he shares the Olympic Stadium in the capital, can also approach him by two points in the event of his victory outside his stadium against Atalanta on Monday at the end of the stage.


The loss is the first for Lazio since falling to Atalanta 0-2 on February 12 at home as well, before achieving eight successive victories.


Serbian Ivan Ilic scored the only goal of the match with a shot from the outskirts of the area two minutes before the end of the first half.
Lazio top scorer Ciro Immobile participated during the second half after suffering a terrible traffic accident a few days ago when a train invaded his car and he was bruised.


Salerentina beat Sassuolo 3-0, while Sampdoria later meets Spestia.
