El Brujas empató con un
penalti de VAR y el buen hacer de Pepe Reina tras el descanso evitó el triunfo
belga en el Jan Breydelstadion
Lazio y Brujas siguen al
frente del Grupo F tras firmar tablas (1-1) en un duelo en el que los belgas
plantaron cara a un equipo italiano instalado este curso en la irregularidad y
golpeado por el coronavirus.
Los ‘laziale’ empezaron
con ganas en el Jan Breydelstadion y Joaquín Correa avisó en el minuto 3 con un
remate que murió en las manos de Mignolet. Sin embargo, el delantero argentino
no tardó en adelantar a su equipo en el marcador en el 14’, en una acción de
enorme calidad, con un zurdazo de rosca desde la frontal del área que hizo
inútil la estirada del portero del Brujas.
El equipo belga no se
vino abajo, y en el 22’, De Ketelaere tuvo el empate en sus botas, pero le pegó
al balón desviado. Los de Philippe Clement eran superiores en posesión a la
escuadra romana, pero no conseguían romper la defensa de tres centrales que
alineó Simone Inzaghi.
Pena máxima de Patric
Con el paso de los
minutos, el encuentro se fue ‘calentando’ y los nervios aparecieron en ambos
contendientes. En el 40’, el Brujas empató en un penalti de VAR después de un
innecesario ‘abrazo’ de Patric a Rits dentro del área que le supuso ver la
tarjeta amarilla al zaguero del Lazio, a quien su técnico sustituyó en el
descanso, quizás como castigo por la acción del futbolista español. Vanaken se
encargó de transformar la pena máxima y anotar el 1-1 después de engañar a Pepe
Reina.
En la reanudación, ya sin
Patric en el campo, el equipo romano pasó a una defensa de cuatro para intentar
frenar a un Brujas que salió fuerte. Dennis estuvo cerca de adelantar a los
locales en una acción que Reina tocó ligeramente para evitar males mayores. El
meta español se lució a lo grande para evitar el 2-1 de Rits con un paradón. El
Brujas la volvió a tener, pero Sobol echó el balón fuera. También perdonó
Vanaken.
Caicedo, sustituido por
lesión
El Lazio, que afrontó el
último tramo de partido sin Felipe Caicedo, sustituido por lesión, puso a
prueba a Mignolet con una gran oportunidad. Vormer y De Ketelaere replicaron
para un Brujas que hizo sufrir a los italianos. Los de Inzaghi solo pudieron respirar
tranquilos con el pitido final.
