Player Ratings: Genoa 0-2 Lazio – Castellanos Revives Biancocelesti | OneFootball

Lazio resurrected their Champions League hopes by beating Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris, with Taty Castellanos leading the charge.

Taty Castellanos the MOTM

The Argentine scored the opener with a superb scissor kick. He was also instrumental in the play that culminated with Sebastian Otoa’s sending off, freeing up Mattia Zaccagni with a clever through ball. Therefore, the Italian newspapers (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) identified the Argentine striker as the Man of the Match. He received ratings between 7.5 and 8/10.

Luca Pellegrini also had an outing to remember. The left-back was a menace for the Grifone on the flank, and he provided the assist for Castellanos’ goal. Therefore, the Italian also earned high ratings (7 and above). The same goes for Zaccagni, as well as Boulaye Dia and Nicolo Rovella who combined to score the second, and Mario Gila who was rock solid at the back.

Reda Belahyane Had a Day to Forget

On the other hand, Reda Belahyane naturally received the lowest grades (4/10) as he got himself sent off for a nasty challenge on Morten Thorsby two minutes following his introduction in the second half.
