Lazio Edges Juventus in Serie A Opener on Early Goal
ROME (Interstat) — Lazio opened its Serie A campaign with a 1-0 victory over Juventus on Sunday at Stadio Olimpico. The match’s lone goal came in the ninth minute from midfielder Toma Bašić, securing the win for the home side. The game was a physical affair, with six players receiving yellow cards, including substitutes from both teams. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which gave Lazio a 54.4% chance to win but had simulated a 1-1 draw. Both clubs were playing their first match of the domestic season.
