Lazio deserved their 2-1 comeback win based on the balance of play, outshooting Udinese 19 to 10 and generating significantly higher volume despite Udinese's early efficiency. The hosts took a 49th-minute lead through Jesper Karlström (assisted by Keinan Davis) but were ultimately overwhelmed, conceding to Davide Frattesi (75') and Albert Guðmundsson (88') as Lazio's 60% possession translated to 19 shots (6 on target) versus Udinese's 10 (6 on target).

The decisive factor was Lazio's sustained pressure: Udinese's 40% possession and just 2 corners highlighted their reactive approach, while Lazio's 8 corners and 60% territorial dominance wore down a defence that racked up 5 yellow cards. Gudmundsson's winner, assisted by Danilho Doekhi, capped a match where Lazio's xG likely eclipsed Udinese's despite the tight scoreline. The gap in total shots (19 to 10) underscored Lazio's control, with their late rally justified by superior chance creation.
