Player Ratings: Lazio 2-2 Parma – Ageless Pedro Salvages a Point for Aquile | OneFootball

Lazio dropped crucial points in the race for European spots, as they settled for a 2-2 draw against Parma. Jacob Ondrejka scored his first Serie A brace, with early goals at the start of both halves, but Pedro came off the bench to drag his teammates back into the contest with two goals of his own.

So here are our player ratings for the Lazio players/

Lazio (4-2-3-1)

Christos Mandas – 6

The Greek was beaten twice by Ondrejka, but pulled off a superb stop on Dennis Man to keep Lazio in the game.

Adam Marusic – 5.5

The Montenegrin was caught out of position on the opener, but produced a timely intervention later in the first half.

Mario Gila – 5.5

The Spaniard was drawn out of the box on the first Parma goal while covering for Marusic, and paid the price for a mix-up with Guendouzi on the second.

Alessio Romagnoli – 5.5

The former Milan captain failed to block Ondrejka’s shot on the first goal, but he did fairly well in his battle against Mateo Pellegrino.

Luca Pellegrini – 6.5

The left-back instigated the first Lazio goal and provided the assist on the second, producing excellent outswingers on both occasions. Dennis Man left him in the dust on a late counter-attack, but the Aquile escaped unscathed.

Matteo Guendouzi – 5.5

This was one of the Frenchman’s worst displays in recent memory. Constantly wasted possession as his touch wasn’t on cue.

Nicolo Rovella – 5

The Italian Regista was never able to orchestrate the play as he usually does. Found little success with vertical plays.

Gustav Isaksen – 5

A disappointing outing from the Dane who failed to inflict damage from the right wing.

Boulaye Dia – 5

The Senegalese attacker had a forgettable showing and squandered a few opportunities. He was unsurprisingly the first player hooked off by Baroni.

Mattia Zaccagni – 5.5

The Lazio captain allowed frustration to get the better of him in the first half. Released Isaksen with a clever flick, but that was his only real highlight.

Taty Castellanos – 6

The Argentine showcased his instinct for goal as he latched onto a long ball before sliding to the ground to beat Suzuki, but it was ruled out for offside. He lacked proper service otherwise.

Substitutes

Pedro – 8

A sensational cameo from the former Barcelona star, and not just because he bagged a brace that spared Lazio the blushes. The team’s rhythm instantly improved following his introduction, as he managed to find his teammates with exquisite through balls.

Loum Tchaouna – 6

The young Frenchman was an upgrade on Isaksen, something we don’t say every day. His volley paved the way for Pedro’s first goal.

Matias Vecino – 6.5

The experienced midfielder added some much-needed depth in the final third. His timely runs to the box caused havoc for Parma.

Tijjani Noslin – 5.5

The Dutchman had the chance to score from close range, but couldn’t connect well with the ball.
