Lazio was in control of the ball in the first half having 58-percent possession, but their shots weren’t finding the target.
In the 45th minute, Hellas Verona took advantage of a Lazio mistake as Manuel Lazzari happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
A Federico Dimarco shot happened to bounce off the Italian wing-back and into the goal, which put Lazio down 1-0.
This is how the match would remain after the first half.
