Early into the second half, the Campania side hit the crossbar, with Djuric’s header from a corner almost finding the back of the net, before bouncing off the woodwork. In the 65th minute, Lazio were again saved by the goal frame, with Ribery’s shot colliding with the post.

A few minutes later, Felipe Anderson’s attacking move allowed Luis Alberto to take a classy shot that easily beat Belec, giving Lazio a 3-0 lead.

In the 88th minute Immobile almost secured his second of the match, but the post denied him his brace.


The Roman club easily closed out the match, staying comfortable in possession and not allowing Salernitana a chance to get back into the game. It was a solid win for Lazio, who are now fifth in the Serie A table, one point behind fourth-placed Atalanta.
