The Italian centre-back beat Mile Svilar with a towering header from a Luca Pellegrini free kick from the left.

Ironically, both Pellegrini and Romagnoli are lifelong Lazio fans who spent a few years in the Roma academy.

Pellegrini even played for Roma’s first team, while Romagnoli didn’t make it to a senior level in a Giallorossi shirt.
