a flurry of goals around the hour mark favoured lazio, as they forged on to complete a comfortable uefa europa league round of 32 second-leg win against galatasaray.
fortified by an away goal following the 1-1 draw in the first leg in ıstanbul, lazio might have put the tie beyond their guests early on. sergej milinković-savić headed straight at fernando muslera from a corner before muslera brushed lucas biglia's powerful drive over the bar at the end of a slow first period.
with heavy rain falling in rome, galatasaray showed more urgency in the second half, yet still went 2-0 behind in the space of three minutes, marco parolo's 59th-minute header from a biglia corner swiftly followed by a side-footed finish for felipe anderson after lazio slashed open the visitors' defence. cimbom rallied within seconds, though, yasin öztekin racing through to flick the ball inside federico marchetti's left-hand post.
hope was soon extinguished, however; sent on to torment a tiring defence, substitute miroslav klose had already gone close once before ştefan radu's pass invited him to plant the ball low past muslera.
