Igor Tudor’s first match in charge of Lazio ended in a win against his former club Juventus, ending a run of three consecutive home defeats with a 1-0 win, courtesy of a last-minute winner from Adam Marušić.Juventus came into the game without suspended top scorer Dušan Vlahović, but their attacking intent was still clear to see early on, as Gleison Bremer’s header from a floated Federico Chiesa free-kick went inches wide on nine minutes. The hosts showed their own potential going forward through Taty Castellanos, who flashed an effort past the post from the edge of the area, before hitting the side netting after some neat build-up play from Felipe Anderson.From the playing days at Juve, to his managerial debut at Lazio: Igor Tudor 🇭🇷 #LazioJuve pic.twitter.com/lhZRp2acXN— Lega Serie A (@SerieA_EN) March 30, 2024 Gli Biancocelesti kept the pressure on with Daichi Kamada and Anderson going close, but they had goalkeeper Christos Mandas to thank for maintaining parity five minutes before the break, as he got down well to save a low Chiesa strike that was destined for the bottom corner.Mandas was hard at work again soon after halftime, when a cross from Samuel Iling-Junior was met at the back post by Andrea Cambiaso, who connected well on the volley, but the Greek stopper was equal to it. That was one of precious few second-half chances, as both defences held firm, though a vital Weston McKennie block on Adam Marušić’s powerful strike was crucial for Juve as the match entered the final 20 minutes.Lazio did not seem able to carve out a clear chance to win the game. But that all changed in the very last minute, when a curling Matteo Guendouzi cross was met by Marušić, who headed past Wojciech Szczęsny. The result means that Juventus have now failed to win their last four away matches (one draw, three losses), as Lazio earn just their second victory in 10 against I Bianconeri in all competitions.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 30Saturday Napoli – Atalanta 0-3 (0-2)/Miranchuk 26, Scamacca 45, Koopmeiners 88/Genoa – Frosinone 1-1 (1-1)/Gudmundsson 30 pen – Reinier 36/Torino – Monza 1-0 (0-0)/Sanabria 69 pen/Lazio – Juventus 1-0 (0-0)/Marusic 90+3/22.45: (2.85) Fiorentina (3.40) Milan (2.60)Monday 13.30: (1.30) Bologna (5.20) Salernitana (11.0)16.00: (2.25) Cagliari (3.35) Verona (3.50)16.00: (2.90) Sassuolo (3.30) Udinese (2.65)19.00: (4.50) Lecce (3.60) Roma (1.90)21.45: (1.22) Inter (6.50) Empoli (12.0)***odds are subject to change***
