Lazio outclassed Juventus yesterday at The Olimpico with a five star second half display.

In an exciting first leg semi final match Lazio beat Juventus with the odd goal in three.

Juventus were the better team in the first half having a Iaquinta goal disallowed and eventually going ahead with a Marchionni deflected shot on 34 minutes.

In the second half Lazio displayed brilliant attacking football with Juventus pushed back in their own half.

Juve goalkeepr Manniner was severly tested on many occasions but had to surrender to Pandev and Rocchi’s shots.

The second semi-final first leg between Sampdoria and Inter will be played this evening in Genoa.
