Lazio Pull Off Dramatic Late Escape Against Parma
Lazio came dangerously close to a shock home defeat against struggling Parma, but two crucial goals from veteran winger Pedro salvaged a 2–2 draw in a rollercoaster Serie A clash at the Stadio Olimpico.
It was a night to forget for much of the game, as Parma—despite their relegation-zone status—outplayed the hosts for long spells and looked poised to pull off a major upset. But Lazio showed resilience late on, with Pedro stepping up when it mattered most.
Still, there's little to celebrate. The dropped points have immediate consequences: the Biancocelesti fall out of the Serie A Top 4, a serious blow in the race for Champions League qualification.
