The detonation is that of smoke bombs that obscure the sky in an atmosphere of great anticipation for the most awaited clash in the Capital: the Roma-Lazio derby.

For the Roma-Lazio derby, coach Claudio Ranieri shuffles the deck: surprisingly, he puts captain Lorenzo Pellegrini on the field, rumored to be on the verge of being transferred to Napoli, with whom an economic agreement seems to have already been reached.

Is it a move to give the Giallorossi captain one last chance to win over the Olimpico crowd, a choice, or a decision related to the player’s good form? We will find out soon.

Meanwhile, let’s discover this Rome Derby, which is the 84th Roma-Lazio.

Roma-Lazio, the first half

The first half starts with Roma in possession of the ball, becoming dangerous in the 3rd minute with a cross from Angelino and a shot from Koné, expertly saved by Provedel.

In the 5th minute, Lazio’s Marusic tries, but the shot goes way over the goal.

At 11′, the Olimpico erupts in joyful screams: Roma’s captain Lorenzo Pellegrini opens the scoring.

At 17′, Lazio tries to stay in the Giallorossi’s half and find the path to the goal: Isaksen takes a shot but is saved by Svilar.

Then at 18′, Saelemaekers achieves the impossible, putting the ball in the net after Provedel’s rebound! It’s 2-0 for the home team.

At 22′, a shiver runs down the spine of the Curva Sud: Dele-Bashiru shoots a ball that looks like a certain goal. But it’s just an optical illusion.

A venomous corner awarded to Lazio and taken by Castellanos, cleared away by the Giallorossi defenders.

The first yellow card of the match goes to Gila for a foul on Paulo Dybala in the 31st minute. In the 34th minute, it’s Zaccagni‘s turn. Lazio grows in aggressiveness: Castellanos brings down Koné without receiving any cards. However, a yellow for the Argentine arrives in the 41st minute for a foul on Dybala: the Giallorossi forward is always very proactive in getting opponents booked.

At 44′, Lazio squanders a chance for a goal on a free-kick due to Castellanos not reaching the ball.

The first half ends with Roma leading 2-0 and an unusual silence in the Curva Nord.
