Neighborhoods mark and rule in Rome

The red and white youth player, with some luck, allows Atlético to leave with an advantage to rest in Rome. Barrios achieved the momentary goal and also distributed and stole against a dangerous Lazio.

After an even start, all the warnings were carried out by the local players. Kamada, Romagnoli or Zaccagni had timid attempts, until Luis Alberto had the first with a volley from the front.

Right after that scare came both of Barrios. Molina left her behind and in the front Barrios hit him first, with the help of Kamada in the form of a detour, to beat Provedel.

Atlético had little ball and Lazio kept trying with the setback of Pellegrini’s injury.
