Lazio veteran Pedro delivered the goods once again in the Europa League, guiding his team towards a 2-0 victory over FC Twente.
The Biancocelesti had an extra man on the pitch following Lars Unnerstall’s early dismissal for a challenge on Boulaye Dia. Pedro scored the opener in the 35th minute with a cool and composed finish from the center of the box. Gustav Isaksen then sealed the win with a second goal late in the match.
The mainstream Italian newspapers hailed Pedro for another impressive display in Europe. The Spanish forward earned the highest ratings on all accounts, with marks between 7 and 7.5/10. Vecino also received high notes for an influential display in the middle of the park. The Uruguayan provided the assist on the first goal.
