Fuck knows how Lazio managed to allow Gladbach so many opportunities when they barely spent any time within forty yards of Lazio's goal.
Stupid game.
Still, good call from Petkovic to see that, with Gladbach playing very defensively, Lazio didn't need three in midfield to control the game and could afford to have another striker on the pitch. Allowed Lazio to play long early and also to be much more of a threat in the box than they were in the first half.
Was also good to see a willingness to leave the two forwards on even after they went down to ten men so that they were less likely to get pinned back and could continue to carry an attacking threat.
Thought the ref was right to give all three penalties.
I hope people who were questioning Lichtsteiner the other night are able to understand the difference between what Lichtsteiner was doing and what Cana and Dias did tonight.
