Lazio secured a narrow victory over Avellino in their second Pre-Season Friendly with a late penalty from Matteo Guendouzi, despite a largely uninspired performance.
The first half saw Lazio struggle to convert chances from Mattia Zaccagni and Matias Vecino, with a Taty Castellanos header disallowed. Maurizio Sarri made eight substitutions at halftime, completely revamping the squad, with the remaining original players eventually subbed off in the 62nd minute.
The second half continued with missed opportunities for Lazio and a crucial double save from Ivan Provedel to deny Avellino. The deadlock was finally broken in the 90th minute when Tijjani Noslin earned a penalty, which Guendouzi calmly converted for the win.
