Lazio’s Vedat Muriqi and Andreas Pereira scored braces in the Biancocelesti’s full pitch friendly against their Primavera squad today at Formello, according to a report from Italian media outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi earlier today.
The report details how coach Simone Inzaghi only used first team players who did not feature in the 3-1 loss to Inter yesterday, or who only came on in the second half.
