THIRD PLACE FINAL: Lazio 3-2 Roma

A fantastic, action-packed game of football at Ambrit stadium today to close out the first Intramural tournament of the year.
Lazio sprang into an early lead when Michele cut inside from the left and swept a curling right-foot shot into the net.
Both teams fought to control the game in midfield. Lapo, Alessandro N and Tommaso C combined well today for Roma and they created lots of chances. Saverio should probably have finished off Tommy's pass from the right but he screwed it wide of the post. Ale N carved himself a good chance shortly afterwards but his well-struck shot crashed down off the crossbar and Giacomo managed to fumble the ball away.
Then Tommy C made a good run through the Lazio defence and, just as he was lining up to shoot, he was cynically stopped by a push from Andrea. Red card for Andrea, free kick for Roma; Tommy passed to Gavyn when the whole stadium expected a shot but he took Gavyn by surprise too and the ball went wide.
Meanwhile, Ale Z and Cristian were everywhere and kept Guillermo and Michele well supplied with passes from the back. One of these was laid inside from Guillermo to Michele and he pit Lazio 2-0 up, this time with a left foot shot that was slightly deflected.
But Gavyn made up for his earlier miss two minutes later. Played in by Tommy C, he slotted the ball home despite a last minute lunge from Ale Z.
Tension increased: Roma attacked, Lazio defended... and Lapo scored...2-2 with just 2 minutes on the clock!
As Roma's celebrations continued, Lazio kicked off. The ball came to Cristian on the left. He cut inside and struck the ball home with his right foot into the bottom left corner.
Roma threw everything into the last attack but time ran out and Lazio will take the bronze medals next week!
