Lazio Midfielder Andreas Pereira: “We Deserved Better”

Lazio finished at a 1-1 draw against Benevento in  Matchday 12.

Lazio scored early thanks to a key goal from Ciro Immobile but simply could not break through for another goal to clinch all three points in the fixture.

Andreas Pereira played in 10 minutes off the bench for Lazio in this fixture. He produced well in his short stint on the pitch as he recorded 11 passes completed and one goal-scoring chance created. But even with the result, Pereira is remaining positive and is looking ahead to bouncing back from the result.

On his official Instagram account, Pereira wrote:

This team never stops believing! We deserved more. I’m here to fight until the last second for this team!

Even with the result, Lazio is still very well in the race for a top-four finish in Serie A this season. Lazio’s resurgence could begin in its upcoming key fixture against Napoli. A win for Pereira and his side could inch the team closer to a top-four standing in league play this season, which is still within reach.
