The match at Olimpico is considered a battle between two teams in crisis. Lazio were under heavy pressure from fans after a series of poor matches and controversial decisions by President Lotito in the transfer stage. Meanwhile, Juventus are struggling with poor form and uncreative play under Tudor.
In the 9th minute, Toma Basic scored the only goal of the match after Jonathan David made a mistake and headed the ball back carelessly. Basic's long-range shot lightly hit a Juventus player and changed direction, leaving goalkeeper Mattia Perin helpless.
After conceding the goal, the "Old Lady" tried to rise up but could not make a difference. Locatelli and Gatti kept making mistakes, while Yildiz and Thuram's chances were taken away by Lazio goalkeeper Provedel. On the other hand, Isaksen almost doubled the gap with a shot that touched the post late in the match.
This defeat marked Juventus' third consecutive loss in all competitions, and extended their 8-match winless streak. More worryingly, the Turin team has failed to score in four consecutive matches, showing a depraved image and lacking vitality.
After this round, Juventus dropped to 8th place in the Serie A rankings, while Lazio temporarily rose to 10th place. The pressure on coach Igor Tudor is growing as the team's direction and fighting spirit are low.
