Player Ratings: Lazio 2-0 Lecce – The Real Guendouzi Finally Shows Up | OneFootball

On Sunday, Lazio produced one of their best displays of the season thus far, and it earned them a 2-0 victory over Lecce.

The Biancocelesti took the lead through Matteo Guendouzi in the first half, but had to wait until the final minutes to kill off the match with a second goal courtesy of Tijjani Noslin. So, here are our player ratings for the Stadio Olimpico contest.

Lazio XI (4-3-3)

Ivan Provedel – 6

The Italian goalkeeper had a quiet evening, but he surprisingly set up the second goal for Noslin.

Adam Marusic – 6.5

A solid showing at the back from the Montenegrin, who came close to scoring, but was denied by Wladimiro Falcone.

Mario Gila – 6

The Spaniard likes to distribute from the back, but he overdid it at times. He left the pitch in the final minutes, potentially with an injury.

Alessio Romagnoli – 6.5

A comfortable outing from the experienced defender who kept Nikola Stulic in his pocket.

Luca Pellegrini – 6.5

The former Juventus man looked solid at the back, shutting down the threat of Tete Morente, while repeatedly darting forward to support the attacks.

Matteo Guendouzi – 7.5

The Frenchman produced his best display of the season by far. Although he was wasteful in possession in the early going, he scored the all-important opener with an off-balance finish, and was only denied a brace by the post. Completely bossed the middle of the park.

Danilo Cataldi – 6

The Lazio stalwart helped the team dominate possession and keep the ball flowing, but he seemed to be struggling with a knock towards the end of the first half, so he was taken off at the interval.

Toma Basic – 7

The Croatian looked like a man possessed from the get-go. He was the center of almost every dangerous Lazio play, including the opener, where his determination produced the assist for Guendouzi.

Gustav Isaksen – 7

An inspired display from the Dane, who set the right wing ablaze. He repeatedly dribbled past his opponents, and produced a host of chances for his teammates.

Boulaye Dia – 6.5

A significantly improved performance from the Senegalese compared with his previous outings. He was denied by an astonishing Falcone stop in the first half, and by a VAR review after the break.

Mattia Zaccagni – 6

The Lazio captain had a relatively quiet match compared with his teammates, but would have grabbed a goal if it wasn’t for the post.

Substitutes

Matias Vecino – 6.5

The Uruguayan settled nicely into the Regista role, making sure Cataldi’s absence wasn’t felt.

Manuel Lazzari – N/A

Pedro – N/A

Tijjani Noslin – 6.5

The Dutchman only needed a few minutes on the pitch to open his account for the season, scoring Lazio’s second goal with his second attempt.

Patric – N/A
