Lazio's Comeback Victory Against Frosinone, Zaccagni Scores Twice; Parma Falls to Sampdoria, Lecce Secures Win
Lazio secured a comeback victory in a friendly derby against Frosinone at the Stirpe stadium. After Frosinone took the lead with a goal from Calò in the 12th minute, Lazio turned the game around, driven by a brace from Zaccagni, who scored in the 22nd minute and again from a penalty in the 89th minute. Frosinone will now prepare for their upcoming match against Luciano Spalletti's Juventus on Sunday the 23rd. Lazio, on the other hand, will first face Mantova in the Coppa Italia on Sunday the 16th at the Olimpico, followed by their Serie A debut against Bologna on the 24th at the Dall'Ara.
Sampdoria also concluded their final pre-season test with a win. Playing at the Tardini, they overcame Parma with a 2-0 scoreline. The goals were scored by Abildgaard in the 6th minute and Lauritsen in the 12th minute. The Blucerchiati's schedule now includes their league debut on Sunday, August 23rd, away at Cesena. The Ducali (Parma) will return to the Tardini on Saturday, August 22nd, to face Cagliari in their opening Serie A fixture.
Lecce Also Victorious
Lecce also performed well, securing a narrow victory against Monopoli in their last summer friendly. The decisive goal came from new signing Geubbels after 15 minutes. Di Francesco's team conceded little to their opponents, but their offensive play needs a step up in pace ahead of their seasonal debut in the Coppa Italia on August 17th at home against Palermo, considered one of the strongest teams in Serie B on paper. On August 23rd, Lecce will play away at Venezia for the first matchday of the league.
