Lazio Defeats Juventus 3-0 to Share Serie A Lead
Lazio defeated Juventus 3-0 at the Allianz Stadium, with goals from Provstgaard, Isaksen, and Dele-Bashiru securing a dominant away victory. As reported by Sky Sport, the win keeps Gennaro Gattuso’s side level with Inter at the top of the Serie A table with 19 points from seven matches. According to ANSA, the result marks a historic milestone as the first time the club has recorded six wins in its first seven league games.
Gattuso deployed a 4-3-3 formation featuring Mandas in goal, supported by a defensive line of Floriani, Sutalo, Provstgaard, and Nuno Tavares. Belahyane marshaled the midfield alongside Frattesi and Taylor, while Noslin led the attack flanked by Isaksen and Zaccagni. For the hosts, acting coach Marco Domenichini—standing in for the suspended Luciano Spalletti—set up his team with Vicario, Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumì, and Celik in defense, Douglas Luiz and Sarr in central midfield, and an attacking trio of Nico Gonzalez, McKennie, and Alajbegovic supporting Randal Kolo Muani.
Provstgaard Opens the Scoring as Juventus Struggles to Find Rhythm
The match began with high intensity, though clear scoring chances were scarce in the opening half-hour. Randal Kolo Muani had a goal disallowed for offside in the 24th minute following a VAR check after he converted from close range. Lazio gradually seized control as the first half progressed, testing Vicario through Isaksen and hitting the crossbar via a deflected shot from Nuno Tavares.

The deadlock broke in the 37th minute when team captain Mattia Zaccagni delivered a precise curling cross from the left trequarti. Defender Provstgaard outjumped Bremer and Lucumì in the center of the area, directing a header past Vicario to give the visitors a 1-0 lead before halftime, which prompted whistles from the home supporters, as noted by Corriere dello Sport.
Isaksen and Dele-Bashiru Seal the Win in the Second Half
Juventus attempted to shift momentum after the interval, introducing Nicklas Woltemade for Alajbegovic to pair him alongside Kolo Muani in a two-striker system. The tactical switch yielded an early chance when Kolo Muani set up Woltemade, whose first-time right-footed shot drifted just wide of the post.

Lazio extinguished any hopes of a comeback in the 66th minute. Nuno Tavares switched play with a long pass from the right to Isaksen, who drove inward past Celik and curled a precise left-footed shot into the far corner past a helpless Vicario. In the 89th minute, substitute Dele-Bashiru capped the victory by intercepting a ball at midfield, driving through the center uncontested, and beating Bremer for speed before firing a diagonal right-footed shot past Vicario to make it 3-0.
