First Half: Possession Without Penetration
The opening period was characterised by Lazio having more of the ball, although genuine attacking opportunities were at a premium. Adam Marušić had perhaps the best of the limited openings, only to be denied by an alert Elia Caprile in the Cagliari goal. Efforts from Zaccagni and Toma Bašić failed to trouble the target, while Lazio keeper Ivan Provedel was largely untested, resulting in a goalless scoreline at the interval.
Clinical Second-Half Performance
After the restart, Maurizio Sarri’s men increased their intensity. The breakthrough came in the 66th minute as Matteo Guendouzi set up Isaksen, whose composed finish secured his first goal of the campaign. After conceding, Cagliari committed more numbers forward in search of an equaliser. Substitute Mattia Felici injected fresh energy into their attacks, and Michel Adopo forced a save from Provedel with a threatening attempt.
As the match entered stoppage time, a defensive lapse from Cagliari in their own half allowed Zaccagni to capitalise, confirming the points for Lazio. With this result, the side from the capital claimed their fourth consecutive league clean sheet.
