Oh Pellegrini!

Another absolutely huge opportunity thrown away and Marco Baroni is livid!

Cross cleared to Luca Pellegrini, who blasts over the bar from close range again!

49'
Oh Lazio!

What a miss!

Oh DEAR! Vecino gets down the right, whips a cross to the back post, where Luca Pellegrini’s cushioned volley from close range clips the woodwork!

46'
2nd half kicks off: Twente 0-1 Lazio

Kuipers on, Lammers off for FC Twente.

Half-Time: FC Twente 0-1 Lazio

Pedro with the only goal, but FC Twente down to 10 men from the 11th minute for Unnerstall rushing out to clatter Boulaye Dia.

Lammers and Gigot were having a wrestling match in the centre-circle, off the ball, but the referee waved play on. It was very much a two-way thing, so probably for the best.

45'
Save on Marusic

In stoppages, Lazio corner cleared to outside the box for a Marusic scorcher, Tyton has to put his whole body behind that to parry.

44'
Save on Pellegrini

Lazio go down the left too with Pellegrini’s give and go with Zaccagni, Tyton again stands his ground and parries with his chest at the near post!

41'

Gigot gets down the right – Lazio getting a lot of joy down that side – and attempts to dink it over the goalkeeper, who stands his ground and makes the save at the near post.

FC Twente 0-1 Lazio: Pedro!

Pedro was right, it was not offside!

Vecino kept on by Van Rooj at the other side of the pitch, pulled back for Pedro to simply sweep in undisturbed from 12 yards!

Long VAR check, which means it is really, really tight.

35'
Lazio goal disallowed!

Pedro is convinced it was not offside. It was Vecino on the pull-back for Pedro. Tight.

34'

Corner comes out to Steijn, whose strike from distance is on target, but also straight at Mandas.

33'

Twente down to 10 men, but still in this, as Lammers tries to turn Pellegrini, shot charged down from close range. They then earn a corner.

30'

Lazio with a promising attack, until Luca Pellegrini gets the cross horribly wrong. Jeers from the crowd.

26'
Marusic hits the post!

That Marusic cross from the right went past absolutely everyone and the goalkeeper was expecting it to go wide, but instead it thumped the far post! Zaccagni was sliding in too, but behind it.

23'

Marusic cross from the right after a long Lazio spell, Dia with the acrobatic volley, but no power on it and straight at Tyton.

19'

Zaccagni flashes a ball across the face of goal, just beyond both Pedro and the far post!

18'

Tyton smothers at the feet of Boulaye Dia, as Lazio seem to be a little hasty, trying to take advantage of this early shock.

13'

Van Bergen off, Tyton on as the new goalkeeper.

11'
FC Twente down to 10 men!

Oh dear! Dia springs the offside trap this time and goes clear on goal, Unnerstall rushes outside the box and mistimes the tackle, hacking him down! Dia tried to get back up and score anyway, but the referee had no choice but to flash the red card.

Total disaster for Twente. Lazio have a huge opportunity here.

7'

Boulaye Dia flagged offside on the through ball, he started the run a little too early.

4'

Lazio win the first corner of the game with a Marusic cross for Pedro that is cut out.
