Lazio 3-3 Udinese: Atta brace, Maldini levels late

A six-goal Serie A draw at Stadio Olimpico had a bit of everything. Udinese led early through Kingsley Ehizibue, Lazio hit back after the break, Arthur Atta scored twice late on, and Daniel Maldini found a stoppage-time equalizer to seal a 3-3. It was round 34 in Rome, and both sides left with a point and plenty to look at in the data on Sofascore.

First-half: Udinese strike first

Udinese started sharper and took the lead in the 18th minute. Hassane Kamara swung in a cross, Jürgen Ekkelenkamp kept it alive and Ehizibue finished from close range. Lazio saw more corners before the break but struggled to test Maduka Okoye, with the visitors ahead 1-0 at halftime. Referee Kevin Bonacina kept a lid on things, booking Matteo Cancellieri late in the half.

Second-half swing, then late chaos

Lazio flipped the tone right after the restart. In the 50th minute, Toma Bašić’s delivery found Luca Pellegrini, who guided in the equalizer. Maurizio Sarri’s bench made a mark too. Pedro came on at halftime and made it 2-1 on 80 minutes after neat work from Dele-Bashiru and Gustav Isaksen.

Kosta Runjaic’s side answered back. Arthur Atta struck in the 86th minute after Nicolò Zaniolo’s cross and a Vakoun Bayo effort forced a rebound. Atta then put Udinese 3-2 up in added time, finishing a move started by Zaniolo and nudged on by Bayo. Lazio were not done. In stoppage time, Pedro hooked the ball back across goal and Daniel Maldini pounced for 3-3. In between the drama, Alessio Romagnoli and Isaksen both hit the woodwork for Lazio.
