Lazio Women suffered their fifth consecutive loss of the season yesterday, losing 3-0 to Sassuolo Femminile.
Coach Carolina Morace would be dismissed following the defeat, with the team sitting rock bottom of the Serie A Femminile table after the first five matches of the season, having a goal difference of -17.
Below are the two squads in Lazio Women’s 3-0 loss to Sassuolo Femminile (via S.S. Lazio):
