Filip Djordjevic and Mamadou Tounkara gave Lazio a prestigious 2-0 friendly victory over Hamburg.
It took just five minutes to break the deadlock in Germany for the Sparda-Bank Cup, as Felipe Anderson flicked on a Stefano Mauri free kick for Djordjevic to blast under the bar.
Stefan Radu thought it was 2-0 moments later, but his trademark left-foot strike hit the upright.
Rafael van der Vaart had several chances to draw level, one blocked by Radu’s last-ditch tackle, while Felipe Anderson fired over and Ilicevic’s angled drive skimmed the woodwork.
Lazio doubled their lead in the final stages when Senad Lulic threaded through for 18-year-old striker Tounkara to side-foot home.
Hamburger’s line-up included ex-Napoli midfielder Valon Behrami, who completed his transfer this week.
