Lazio Triumph in Rome Derby, Winning the 2013 Coppa Italia
Lazio claim historic victory over rivals AS Roma
A thrilling match filled with emotion, tension, and drama.
26 Maggio 2013 Ore 1800: A historic day for Lazio fans as their team emerged victorious in the 2013 Coppa Italia. In a pulsating match played at the Stadio Olimpico in front of a capacity crowd, Lazio defeated bitter rivals AS Roma by a slender 1-0 margin. The victory marks Lazio's fifth Coppa Italia triumph and their first since 2009-10 season.
The match itself was a tale of two halves, with Lazio dominating the first half and Roma marginally better in the second half. Lazio took the lead in the 32nd minute through a superb individual goal by Senad Lulic. The Bosnian midfielder picked up the ball just outside the Roma penalty area, danced past two defenders, and fired a powerful shot into the bottom corner. Roma had a few chances to equalize in the second half, but Lazio's defense held firm to secure a memorable victory.
The win is a major triumph for Lazio and manager Vladimir Petkovic. It is the club's first major trophy in three years and a significant step forward in their bid to challenge for a Champions League berth next season. For Roma, the loss is a bitter blow. They have now gone five years without a major trophy and will be desperate to put this season behind them.
