A2 M – Lazio also wins in Sicily: 11-8 against Palermo
The biancocelesti repeat the success of the debut and secure three points in Palermo as well. A hat-trick for Korban, braces for Costanzo, Tresa, and Giacomone. Ruffelli: "Good victory, but we need to make fewer mistakes"
Lazio Nuoto overcomes Palermo and remains unbeaten in the A2 South group after two rounds of the championship. The biancocelesti win 11-8 outdoors at the Terrasini Municipal Pool, after a challenging start. Trailing by two goals, Daniele Ruffelli's team reacts by equalizing in the first quarter already. The match remains balanced until the third quarter, which ends with Lazio leading 8-7. The biancocelesti secure the victory with the decisive breakthrough in the final quarter where Dominici, Korban, and Costanzo score. They will return to the pool on Saturday 23 in Acilia against Acquachiara. Kick-off at 6.30 pm.
The coach in the pool area, Daniele Ruffelli: "The start was uphill, then we managed to recover and win a complicated match in a difficult pool. However, despite the three points earned, I want to emphasize that certain mistakes should not be made during a game. Due to various oversights, we allowed Palermo to stay in the game for three quarters. In the future, we must concede fewer easy goals to the opponent and be more clinical in attack. The positive is the victory and securing it in the final quarter. Against Acquachiara in front of our fans, I want to see fewer errors."
