This Serie A clash between Lazio and AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on the 19th of March 2023 was a nail-biter. The home team, Lazio, narrowly clinched a tight win with a 1-0 margin against their city rivals. The match was a fiercely contested event, as reflected by a totaling of seven yellow cards, and three red cards during the game.

The only goal of the match was delivered by Lazio’s Mattia Zaccagni in the 64th minute of the second half. This victory reflects a better ratio of the shots on target by Lazio, who had five shots on target while Roma had three. Lazio displayed higher accuracy in front of the goal with a ratio of 5:7 (shots on target: off target), whereas Roma saw a less accurate 3:5 ratio.

Analyzing the style of play, Lazio's tendency was to assault from the wide areas, with five corner kicks taken as against Roma's two corner kicks. The teams almost equalled in offsides (Lazio with one and AS Roma with two), suggesting a high defensive line that mirrored each other’s strategies.

The cards game during this game was a real heated battle. Lazio collected four yellow cards and one red card, whereas Roma received three yellow cards and two red cards. The higher number of cards could be related to the high number of fouls committed, with Lazio committing 17 and Roma 12. The inclination towards rough play, especially by Lazio, reflected a stronger level of intensity and aggression which inevitably led to more interruptions and game stoppages.

The most significant statistical factor that affected the outcome of this match was the shots on target. Lazio was seen to utilise their attempted shots, converting them into one crucial goal, and ultimately, finding the path to victory. Contrarily, AS Roma's attacks were contained as they only managed to make three shots on target, none of which hit the back of the net.

In conclusion, Lazio made the most of their opportunities, showing better precision and execution both in attempts and defending despite numerous fouls and cards. Conversely, the inefficiency of AS Roma in attacking, and their lack of discipline with the higher on-field penalties, culminated in their loss in this derby encounter.
