    MARUSIC: I HOPE THE REAL LAZIO IS BACK
    “It’s a very important victory for us with a new coach. I just returned a couple of days ago from international duty, but the lads worked well and it is a great win," Marusic told DAZN.
    “It is certainly the best goal of my career, after almost two years I scored in front of the home fans. I want to thank the supporters and I hope they come in these numbers to more games.
    “We had a lot of determination and hunger from the opening minute, we must continue like this.
    “This week everything is at stake, as we have the Coppa Italia and the derby against Roma. We need to recover well and give our best. I hope the real Lazio is back.”

    MARUSIC CLAIMS MEMORABLE VICTORY AT THE DEATH
    Adam Marusic scored in the dying seconds to claim victory for Lazio over Juventus on Igor Tudor’s debut as coach of the Roman club and deepen the Old Lady’s crisis.
    The match in the Eternal City long seemed destined to finish goalless after a wasteful performance from both sides, Taty Castellanos squandering good chances for the hosts and Kostas Mandas coming to their rescue when Juve threatened through Federico Chiesa and Andrea Cambiaso.
    But midway through the final minute of stoppage time, Marusic rose to meet a Mateo Guendouzi cross and head home from close range to spark euphoric scenes and ensure it was a memorable debut for Tudor, who was drafted in following Maurizio Sarri’s resignation earlier in the month.
    Lazio jumped into seventh in the Serie A standings, eight points behind fourth-placed Bolgona ahead of their clash with Salernitana on Monday.
    Juventus, meanwhile, saw their winless streak extend to four matches, and they remain third in the standings.
    The two sides will face off once more in Turin on Tuesday night in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final, before a third meeting in three weeks back at the Olimpico on April 23.

    HALF-CHANCES BOTH ENDS
    Kamada does well, winning the ball with a high press inside the box, but his cross is cut out and Juve rush up the other end to win a corner.
    It looks dangerous for a moment as a bobbling ball drops towards Rabiot, but he can't reach it. Some more changes incoming ahead of the final stretch...

    LAZIO CHANCE!
    Best chance of the second half for Lazio, as Immobile's pull-back inside the box finds Marusic in plenty of space, but his finish is deflected wide as it heads for the bottom corner!
