Lazio left it very late to beat Padova in a pre-season friendly, winning 1-0 thanks to an own goal after Pepe Reina saved a penalty.

The squad was decimated due to the number of players away on international duty, so barely recognisable for coach Simone Inzaghi.

Although there were attempts from Marco Parolo, Jony and Sofian Kiyine, none of them were on target.

Padova had the chance to take the lead, but Reina marked his Lazio debut by saving the Ronaldo Pompeu penalty.
