Goal in 93 minute decided the Eternal City derby
Lazio reached a nail-biting 2-1 victory in the Rome derby against Roma in the 7th round of the Serie A. Eagles have made a full reversal of the match when Pablo Osvaldo symbolic guestsbrought forward as a result within 5 minutes.
Ernanesh restore equality by penalty in the 51st minute but the hosts win with a goal in overtime by Miroslav Klose.
Luis Enrique lamented that his side were unable to cling on after taking the lead and noted that Lazio never threw in the towel.
"Oh my, what a finale," he told Sky Sport Italia. "It is a shame we lost the game, considering all that happened.
"When we thought the game would end in a draw, they scored. We could have done better in the first half, we got off to a great start, but after the goal we just did not play like we usually do.
"After Lazio found themselves losing, they risked more and caused us some trouble, there is more work to be done."
The Spanish coach went on to explain why Simon Kjaer deputised for Nicolas Burdisso, as the Denmark international left the team with 10 men after being sent off early in the second half.
"Burdisso was coming off a long journey with the national team," Luis Enrique noted. "It is easy to talk after the game, but I have to make my decisions before the kick-off."
Roma sit 12th in Serie A, on eight points, while Lazio have moved up to fourth, with 11 points.
