CONTEXT
In a high-octane Serie A clash at the Stadio Olimpico, Lazio hosted Udinese, ending in a dramatic 3-3 draw.

No red cards disrupted play, allowing continuous end-to-end action as both sides traded blows post-interval. This result underscores Udinese's tenacity away from home, denying Lazio a victory they were expected to claim.
