[Europa Conference League] Lazio - AZ Alkmaar = 1 - 2

The Italian League giants, Lazio, have just achieved a negative result when hosting AZ Alkmaar in the round of 16 of the 2022-2023 Europa Conference League.

The match between Lazio and AZ Alkmaar in the 2022-2023 Europa Conference League's first round of 16 has just been played at the Olimpico Stadium.

Playing in front of thousands of their supporters, the Biancoceleste played pressing from the early minutes of the first half.

In that duel, Lazio, who had performed admirably with a goal from former Barcelona star, Pedro Rodríguez, had to suffer a painful loss. They were defeated by a score of 1-2 by AZ Alkmaar.
