In the second half, Lazio responded and the hero for Fiorentina was Italian goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano, who stopped the team's powerful attacks that equalized and created two clear goal opportunities from Brazilian Felipe Anderson and Spaniard Luis Alberto. It was an even contest that Lazio's Italian coach Maurizio Sarri decided to attack with all his arsenal, introducing Spaniard Pedro and Immobile, who brought freshness to an increasingly dangerous Lazio attack.

But despite their best efforts, Terracciano or the "purple" defense always resisted the attacks. Everything indicated that the match would end in a 0-0 draw, but in the last second Pedro's center and Uruguayan Matias Vecino's shot into the hand of the Serbian''Nikola Milenkovic's defender opened the way to victory, which was sealed by the Roman captain with a perfect penalty shootout. Lazio secured their third consecutive victory to move up to seventh place in the standings, with Ciro Immobile confirming his value.

"Fiorentina", in turn, suffered its second consecutive defeat and dropped to seventh place.

Scamacca becomes Atalanta's star.

With two goals and an impressive performance against Empoli (0-3) on Monday, Italian Ginaluca Scamacca confirmed his place in Atalanta's main squad as they returned to the Champions League zone. The former West Ham forward, who had a difficult season at the English club due to injuries, returned to Italy to regain confidence and produce results that''Allowed him to move to the Premier League from Sassuolo. He has scored four goals so far with two doubles and has become the Italian national coach's preferred choice due to Immobile's disappointing season.

Once again against Empoli, he was the forward that wowed Italy in the 2021-22 season and started his show as early as the 3rd minute with a beautiful goal on the heels of a pass from Nigerian Ademola Lukman. That goal was just the beginning of a great performance from the young forward, followed by a shot against the bar in the next attack and a canceled goal just a few minutes later, all in less than 20 minutes.

The new Italian '9' was unstoppable for the Empoli defense, it was Dutchman Theon Koopmeiners who increased Atalanta's lead with a close-range strike''distance, which ended up in the net, assisted by a mistake by Albanian goalkeeper Etrit Berisha. That goal sealed Atalanta's victory, but Scamacca never stopped looking for a goal, which he found in the second half with a powerful shot into the far corner of the goal, bringing the score to 0-3 and deciding the match a few minutes before Scamacca himself nearly completed his hat-trick with a shot that hit the crossbar, prompting laughter from the forward.
