Lazio 1-1 Parma: Noslin Confirms Himself as Crociati’s Bogeyman | OneFootball

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Lazio salvaged a draw against Parma thanks to Tijjani Noslin’s second-half equalizer.

Lazio Starting Lineup

Maurizio Sarri maintained his 4-3-3 lineup, but was forced to replace Mario Gila and Patric, who weren’t available due to injuries. Oliver Provstgaard filled in at the back alongside Alessio Romagnoli, Adam Marusic, and Nuno Tavares, while Danilo Cataldi made a timely recovery to occupy the Regista role.

The Italian started between Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Kenneth Taylor. The manager entrusted Daniel Maldini with the False 9 role once more, flanked by Pedro and Gustav Isaksen.

Parma Take an Early Lead

After an uneventful quarter of an hour, Parma stunned the meagre home crowds by snatching the lead through Enrico Del Prato. The Crociati captain pounced on a loose ball from a freekick, sending a clinical low shot past Romagnoli and into the bottom corner.

While Lazio continued to dominate possession, their reaction was rather tame, failing to create anything noteworthy during the first half. Maldini and Taylor both had penalty shouts, but the referee didn’t buy them.

On the other hand, the visitors almost doubled their lead before the interval through Emmanuele Valeri, who was set up by a clever square ball from Sascha Britschgi that evaded the crowd. The Lazio youth product tried to beat Edoardo Motta with a venomous shot, but the young goalkeeper pulled off an acrobatic save.

Tijjani Noslin Enjoys Another Memorable Cameo Against Parma

After the break, Lazio immediately showed signs of improvement, while Parma retreated into their areas. Maurizio Sarri’s substitutions also paid off, with the right flank finally functioning thanks to Manuel Lazzari, who caused havoc with his penetrations. The full-back tested Zion Suzuki with a shot from the edge of the box, but the Japanese goalkeeper was able to gather it.

In the 77th minute, the Aquile finally got their goal, thanks to Tijjani Noslin, who was the ultimate hero of the reverse fixture with a last-ditch winner. The versatile attacker played a give-and-go with his compatriot Taylor, before cutting to the middle. His shot took a big deflection off Alessandro Circati before creeping into the bottom corner. This time, the Dutchman’s strike was only worth one point.

Lazio were hoping to add another goal, but they also had a major scare when the referee headed to the monitor for an on-field review following a handball from Tavares inside his own box. But luckily for the home side, the match official decided that Mateo Pellegrino took advantage of his offside position to interfere with the play, so the Biancocelesti were taken off the hook.

Sarri’s men weren’t able to extend their winning run to four, but at least they avoided a setback defeat.
