Decisive masterpieces. There are three goals, one per decade, which allowed Juventus to defeat Lazio at Olimpico and help them swing the legaue title in their favour. Here are three unforgettable moments, which tell a lot about the technical characteristics of those who knew how to invent them.
1997-98 FILIPPO INZAGHI
5 April 1998, Matchday 28. The match at Olympic is one of the most important junctions in the league. Between Juventus and Lazio, only two points separate them with Inter in the middle. Any miss-step would see the Old Lady fall to third place. The protagonist of the day is that of Filippo Inzaghi, who on the stroke of the hour, successfully deflects the corner kick by Angelo Di Livio. SuperPippo's goal ends Luca Marchegiani's unbeaten run, which reached 745 minutes.
2004-05 PAVEL NEDVED
The league starts at the final sprint. Fabio Capello's Juventus and Carlo Ancelotti's Milan are head-to-head in the title race. Before the direct battle at San Siro, and which will decide the Scudetto outcome, the Bianconeri need to secure three points on a difficult field away to Lazio. It is a terrain that Pavel Nedved knows well, and it is he, five minutes from the end, who collected an aerial bank of Marcelo Zalayeta: and fired a shot under the crossbar. A splendid action, fundamental for the victory of the 28th Scudetto.
2017-18 PAULO DYBALA
A goal recent in history and one which was exploited by La Joya at Olimpico made history. It was an unforgettable evening for the effect it had on the league. Napoli is four points ahead of Juventus (who has a game in hand). The Neapolitans lose 2-4 at home against Roma, the Lady instead does the business against Lazio. It is through the masterpiece by Paulo Dybala in the third minute of stoppage time, in which he struck a sudden swerve on the edge of the area. it is a goal to celebrate!
