Once again, Ratkov was the star of the summer for them, scoring the opening two goals before half-time. Mattia Zaccagni missed a penalty by blasting it onto the crossbar, but did make up for it later with a pair of late tap-ins. Surprisingly, Alessio Romagnoli was in the starting XI, as his transfer to Al-Sadd seems to have well and truly collapsed. Lazio are in action for the Coppa Italia against Mantova on August 16.
