Match Recap
Davide Frattesi made it a short afternoon for Lazio, finding the net in the 25th minute to earn his side a 1-0 Serie A victory over Genoa on matchday one. It was the only goal the home side needed, and it extends a compelling recent pattern: Lazio have now won both of their last two meetings with Genoa without conceding or drawing. Genoa arrive in these fixtures still searching for any foothold, and they leave this one bottom half of the table after a single game, points column empty. Serie A's current scoring leader D. Malen sits on 17 goals for the season, but it was Frattesi, well outside the top 10, who came up with the decisive moment when it counted. His finish in the 25th minute looked composed on the scoresheet. Whether it actually was is exactly why you should watch.
