🧨 Lazio beat Pisa 2-1! Pedro's farewell goal, Olimpico rises 😍

Lazio win and finish this season in ninth place on 54 points. Moreno’s goal (23’) was answered by Dele-Bashiru (33’) and Pedro (35’).

An entertaining first half with several chances for both teams, who played freely and put on a good show.

The Biancocelesti got off to a poor start, and in the 1st minute Pisa came close to scoring through Vural, who curled a superb shot just over the bar.

But Sarri’s side gradually took control of the game and tried to dictate play by increasing the pressure, only to concede when Moreo rose highest to head home from a perfect Aebischer assist. Lazio, however, did not give up and found the equaliser through Dele-Bashiru, who picked out the corner and beat Semper after a brilliant solo run by Belahyane.

Two minutes later, Pedro gave himself the joy of saying goodbye to the Olimpico with a goal, which also proved to be the match-winner. A one-two with Noslin, then the captain did brilliantly to find space and pick out the bottom corner.

In the second half, the tempo dropped apart from a few flashes from Noslin and Maldini, but there was still time for a standing ovation from the Olimpico for Pedro. The No. 9 left the pitch to applause from both his teammates and the fans, who paid tribute to him with several banners.

Off the pitch there was also an embrace with Maurizio Sarri, for whom this was in all likelihood his final match as Lazio coach.

✅ Serie A debut for Brando Bettazzi

Pisa brought on the very young Brando Bettazzi. The 2007-born midfielder made his absolute Serie A debut.

Meanwhile, 2008-born Giacomo Giacomone, Lazio’s fifth-choice goalkeeper, did not make his debut in the top flight. He had been ready to come on in place of Furlanetto, who had picked up a minor issue that later subsided.

Standing ovation for Pedro and an embrace with Sarri 😍

Pedro went off to a standing ovation from the Olimpico. The Spanish star said goodbye to the Biancocelesti faithful after 209 appearances, enriched by 39 goals and 18 assists. The No. 9 left the pitch to applause from his teammates, both on the field and on the bench, and from the fans, who paid tribute to him with a banner reading: "PEDRO PE'...SEMPRE ❤️"

Immediately after the substitution — Dia came on in his place — there was also time for a beautiful embrace between the Spaniard and Maurizio Sarri, with the latter, as reported by Dazn, thanking him.

🚑 Gila goes off injured

The second half begins and Maurizio Sarri is forced to replace Mario Gila through injury. The former Real Madrid man had to leave the field because of a muscle problem he has been dealing with for quite some time. Even before the match, his place in the starting lineup had been in doubt. Provstgaard came on in his place.

⚽️ Lazio turn it around: first Dele-Bashiru, then Pedro 🤯

After conceding Moreo’s goal, Lazio took control of the match and turned it around within 12 minutes, first through Dele-Bashiru and then Pedro.

In the 33rd minute, Belahyane produced a great individual move and laid it off on the edge of the box for Dele-Bashiru. The Lazio midfielder stylishly got away from his marker and scored with a low right-footed shot.

Just two minutes later, Pedro, in his final match at the Olimpico, made it 2-1 with a superb right-footed strike from the edge of the area to beat Semper. After scoring, the Lazio captain went to soak up the embrace of the fans, including that of Maurizio Sarri.

⚽️ Moreo opens the scoring with a header

Pisa struggled in the opening stages, but then broke the deadlock through Stefano Moreo. A deadly counterattack from the Tuscan side developed down the right through Aebischer. The former Bologna man delivered a precise assist into the six-yard box, where Moreo made it 1-0 in the 23rd minute with a winning header.

💥 Triple chance for Lazio! Marusic hits the post

After a sluggish start, Lazio had two chances in the space of a minute, first through Cancellieri, who, after winning the ball in the final third, found himself one-on-one with Semper but shot over, helped by a deflection off a Nerazzurri player.

Shortly afterwards, Marusic struck from close range but hit the post. A few minutes later, Pedro, in his final game at the Olimpico, shot from distance, but Semper denied him with a great save. The Biancocelesti had nevertheless started the better side, going close several times and looking to break the deadlock.

🧨 Sarri: "Pedro is PHENOMENAL, I’m calm"

Maurizio Sarri spoke to Sky before Lazio-Pisa.

“Pedro is phenomenal, he has had a phenomenal career, won everything there was to win and right up to today he has been an example not only for his technical quality, but also inside the dressing room. A phenomenon in every sense.”

“No trophies? It’s clear that we finished second and reached the final, but the win eluded us. We were not built to win this year.”

“State of mind? This match is a reflection of our season. Even tonight we are missing 8 or 9 players. It has been a constant difficulty. We come into this in a tough spot, but with the desire to end the season well. I’m calm.”

🔚 Pedro’s final match as captain

The Olimpico is preparing to say goodbye to Pedro. Tonight the Spaniard will play his final match in a Lazio shirt, and he will do so wearing the captain’s armband, just as happened with Miro Klose in May 2016.

The Spanish star had already announced his departure from Lazio in recent weeks and, at the end of the Coppa Italia final, had gone to embrace his teammates and the fans beneath the Curva Nord — who were not present at the derby and will not be present tonight against Pisa either — with a dedicated banner that read: "Thank you, Champion"
