Lazio and former Verona midfielder Mattia Zaccagni again scored against his old club, just as he did in their first match this season.

Zaccagni started and finished the move in the 72nd minute, winning the ball on the halfway line, racing forward and rolling the ball across to Luis Alberto, who threaded it back for him to fire in at the near post.

Lazio winger Pedro, guilty earlier of a glaring miss, hit the post with a late free kick as Verona remained three points above the drop zone.
