Marusic goal in stoppage time gives Lazio win over Sassuolo
ROME (AP) --- A stoppage time goal from Adam Marusic gave Lazio a 2-1 win over
Sassuolo and snapped its four-game winless streak in Serie A on Monday.
Marusic headed in his first goal of the season after 90+3 minutes.
Lazio had not won since January or scored in over a month but Daniel Maldini
opened the scoring two minutes after kickoff.
The son of AC Milan great Paolo Maldini pounced on a loose ball to fire home
from close range.
However, Sassuolo's in-form winger Armand Laurient equalized just before
halftime with a well-placed drive from 12 meters out. It upped his recent stats
to two goals and four assists in his last four league games.
Lazio had the lion's share of the chances but its toothlessness in front of
goal looked to be its undoing once again until Marusic popped up in the final
seconds.
The result lifted the capital side one place into 10th, a point and a place
behind Sassuolo.
It was only the second defeat in seven games for Sassuolo.
