Lazio beats Atromitos, with Noslin and Pedro deciding the score.

Lazio, just over a week after their league debut, are still lacking in form, but they also won their last summer friendly, played in Rieti, against Greek side Atromitos, 2-0. The match was decided by Noslin, who headed home a Marusic cross from the right with just under a quarter of an hour remaining, before Pedro's left-footed strike sealed victory for the Ibancocelesti, their fourth out of six friendly matches.

Sarri continued to mix things up, fielding Mandas in goal and keeping the goalkeeping battle alive with Provedel, while Gila-Provstgaard played in central defense, given Romagnoli's suspension for his Como debut. Up front, Castellanos was confirmed, ahead of Cancellieri, Zaccagni, and Dele-Bashiru. The first half heated up around the 30th minute with a challenge from Guendouzi that sparked a scuffle on the pitch. Then, Mansur challenged Castellanos, who reacted: referee Forneau sent them both off to calm things down. Lazio grew in strength in the second half, with Sarri bringing on fresh energy. Noslin's goal, with the Greek side's equaliser ruled out five minutes into the match for a clear offside, and Pedro's late strike secured another victory for the Biancocelesti, a crucial step ahead of their league debut in Como next Sunday, when important points are already up for grabs.
