Serie A Week 30 - 19/3/06 (14.00 UK)
Figo 36 (I), Recoba 46, 71 (I), Pandev 54 (L)
Stadio Giuseppe Meazza
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alvaro Recoba bagged a brace as Inter beat Lazio here for the first time in Serie A in 13 years.
Roberto Mancini and many of his players took on their former teammates, as Sinisa Mihajlovic, Dejan Stankovic, Juan Sebastian Veron, Cesar Aparecido and Giuseppe Favalli have all worn the Biancocelesti jersey, while Goran Pandev, Ousmane Dabo and Angelo Peruzzi are ex-Inter men. Paolo Di Canio and Stankovic missed out through suspension. Lazio hadn't lost here since 1993 in Serie A, notching up three wins and nine draws.
Emilson Sanchez Cribari was booked for a professional foul on Luis Figo as he charged down the right flank. Alvaro Recoba went straight for goal with his left foot and Angelo Peruzzi punched away the free kick.
Peruzzi also pushed a corner kick off the head of Marco Materazzi, while Zauri anticipated Figo after some good build-up play from Adriano.
Adriano's header from a Cesar cross was over the bar from eight yards, but Lazio went close on the half-hour mark when Goran Pandev pounced on a Veron defensive error and unleashed a left-foot strike that skimmed the upright.
Moments later, Tommaso Rocchi also had a good chance that Francesco Toldo closed down at the last moment.
However, just as Lazio were going through their best moment, Inter took the lead. Figo trapped a Recoba cross with his right foot after Zauri's error and thumped in an angled drive with his left foot.
Adriano went on the counter-attack and his shot was wide of the far post, but Lazio continued to threaten and Toldo rushed out to clear off Pandev's feet with his legs.
Inter doubled their lead 40 seconds after the restart thanks to a woeful Lazio error. Massimo Oddo's header towards Peruzzi was too slow and intercepted by Recoba, who comfortably nodded it over the stranded goalkeeper.
Moments later, Peruzzi fingertipped Adriano's deflected shot just past the near post. From the resulting corner kick, a splendid Veron volley from the edge of the box skimmed the upright.
Peruzzi flew to flap a Pierre Wome missile out from under the crossbar and Adriano nodded wide from a corner kick.
However, Lazio got themselves back into the game with former Inter youth product Pandev. The Macedonian tapped in a Zauri cross from six yards unmarked and this time Toldo was unable to block the shot.
Peruzzi performed an incredible save moments later, pushing away a fierce Recoba finish with one outstretched hand flat on the ground.
It was an open game and Recoba celebrated his 31st birthday this week with a brace, springing the offside trap on Veron's through ball and sidefooting in to the far corner.
The Biancocelesti didn't give in and Toldo's palms were stung by a Dabo missile of a free kick.
Lazio substitute Igli Tare was himself replaced due to a muscular problem, while Julio Cruz wasted a good chance for Inter's fourth.
