Pedro’s Last-Minute Heroics Keep Lazio Perfect in Europa League

SS Lazio continued their flawless UEFA Europa League (UEL) run, clinching a dramatic 2-1 victory over FC Porto with a stoppage-time strike from Pedro. This win keeps Lazio at the top of the league phase standings, extending their unbeaten streak to six consecutive home victories across all competitions.

First Half: Lazio Strike First

Lazio, buoyed by recent strong form, looked the sharper side early on. Taty Castellanos offered an initial glimpse of his threat by netting an angled strike, only for it to be ruled offside. Porto, meanwhile, struggled to create opportunities until Arsenal loanee Fábio Vieira nearly turned the tide with a stunning long-range strike that rattled the crossbar. Lazio eventually took the lead just before halftime; Castellanos directed a header from Pedro’s corner into the path of Alessio Romagnoli, who tapped in to put the hosts ahead.

Second Half: Porto Fight Back

Porto emerged with added urgency in the second half, determined to find an equalizer. Although Tiago Djaló’s speculative long-range shot was off-target, Porto’s persistence paid off when Stephen Eustáquio met Galeno’s cross with a composed finish to level the score in the 66th minute. Lazio nearly retook the lead soon after, but Matías Vecino headed over from close range after a well-placed cross.

Late Drama: Pedro Clinches It for Lazio

As the game appeared to be heading for a draw, Pedro delivered a decisive blow. Unmarked in the box, the veteran forward connected with Gustav Isaksen’s pinpoint cross, finishing clinically to secure the win for Lazio. Porto, still struggling for consistency away from home, now have just one victory in their last 13 trips to Italy.

With their fourth consecutive UEL win, Lazio solidified their position atop the league phase, while Porto’s hopes of advancing grow increasingly challenging.
