The Italian newspapers identified Mattia Zaccagni as the best Lazio player in Saturday’s entertaining 2-2 draw against Napoli.
The two sides shared the spoils in a back-and-forth affair. Nevertheless, the Biancocelesti captain was considered a cut above the rest as delivered yet another influential display, especially in the second half. The 29-year-old scored a sensational scissor kick that was disallowed for offside, but he still proved decisive as he created the winner for Boulaye Dia.
Hence, Zaccagni was the Man of the Match for Lazio in the player ratings of most Italian newspapers, picking up an impressive 7.5/10 on some accounts. Gustav Isaksen wasn’t far behind, as he opened the scoring with a sensational long-range strike. However, the Dane arguably lost a few points after squandering a glorious chance in the second period.
On the contrary, Ivan Provedel received the poorest grades between 4.5 and 5.5/10). The goalkeeper gave away the goal cheaply and then failed to stop Giacomo Raspadori’s shot on the opener. He was then left stranded on Adam Marusic’s bizarre own goal. The Montenegrin didn’t fare much better, as he received almost similar grades.
