Lazio defeated Udinese 2-1 in a tightly contested match at the Udinese stadium, marking the final game of the third round of Italy's top football league, Serie A, played on Monday. The victory allowed Lazio, managed by Gennaro Gattuso, to join Roma and Inter at the top of the table with nine points after three matches. Udinese suffered its first loss of the season and remained in tenth place with four points. The match began evenly, with neither team scoring in the first half. Udinese took the lead in the 49th minute through Jesper Karlstrom, who capitalized on a well-placed cross from Davis. However, Lazio mounted a late comeback in the final 20 minutes. Davide Frattesi equalized for Lazio in the 75th minute, and Albert Gudmundsson secured the winning goal in the 88th minute, his first for the club. Croatian international defender Josip Šutalo did not feature in the starting lineup for Lazio. With this win, Lazio joined Roma and Inter at the summit of the league table, each having accumulated nine points from their opening three games. Udinese, meanwhile, dropped to tenth place following its first defeat of the campaign. Three teams, Venice, Genoa, and Fiorentina, remained winless after three rounds. In the other matches of the third round, Cagliari edged out Lecce 1-0, with Matteo Maldini scoring the decisive goal in the 29th minute. Frosinone beat Venice 3-2, while Parma drew 1-1 with Monza. Bologna and Sassuolo played to a 2-2 draw, and Juventus and Milan shared a 1-1 result. Fiorentina lost 1-2 to Torino, and Inter claimed a thrilling 3-2 victory over Napoli. Roma defeated Atalanta 2-1, and Genoa fell 1-4 to Como. Lazio’s performance was particularly notable given the circumstances surrounding Gattuso’s appointment. He took charge of the club this summer after a stint managing Italy’s national team, inheriting a challenging situation marked by early setbacks, including a surprising exit from the Coppa Italia against Mantova. Despite these difficulties, Gattuso has led Lazio to three consecutive victories in the league, securing maximum points in the process. This result marks a historic achievement for Gattuso and Lazio. According to historical records, only two previous managers have guided Lazio to three wins in their first three Serie A matches. These were Tommaso Maestrelli in the 1974-75 season and Vladimir Petković in the 2012-13 campaign. Both of those campaigns ended with Lazio failing to maintain their momentum in subsequent fixtures. Gattuso’s current Lazio side appears to be breaking this trend. After three rounds, they sit atop the table alongside Roma and Inter, with a strong foundation built on consistent performances and key contributions from players like Frattesi and Gudmundsson. The upcoming fixture against Milan will be crucial in determining whether Lazio can sustain its dominance in the early stages of the season.

The perfect Gattuso, Lazio has only had one start like this in 50 years.

Gennaro Gattuso, novi trener Lazio, ostvario je savršeni početak svoje sezone, pobijedivši Udinese 2:1 u trećem kolu Serie A. Lazio je nakon tri utakmice osvojio devet bodova i zauzelo treće mjesto u tablici, iza Roma i Inter. Pobedničke golove postigli su Davide Frattesi i Albert Gudmundsson. Ovo je prvi put u 50 godina da je Lazio dobio prve tri utakmice Serie A. Prethodno je Gattuso bio pod pritiskom nakon što je Lazio izgubio Kup, ali je potom ostvario tri uzastopne pobjede. U povijesti Serie A su samo dva trenera uspjeli da dobiju prve tri utakmice, a Gattuso je ponovio taj rezultat.
