JUVENTUS-LAZIO 2-2 | CLASSIC HIGHLIGHTS SERIE A 2025/26
Juventus 2-2 Lazio: Pierre Kalulu's stoppage-time equalizer rescues a point
This video revisits the 2-2 classic between Juventus and Lazio. Juventus were the better side for much of the first half but conceded after Locatelli's error led to Pedro's goal; Lazio then went two goals up, only for McKennie to pull one back and Kalulu to head in a stoppage-time equalizer. The commentary criticizes Locatelli, Di Gregorio and Tavares while praising Juventus's resilience.
- Locatelli's mistake was a huge error by the Juventus captain — He was robbed by Maldini in his own half, and Pedro then punished Juventus right before half-time.
- Pedro's goal was astonishing because Juventus were far the better team in the first half — Lazio scored almost out of nothing late in the half, and the goal was also helped by a Bremer deflection.
- Michele Di Gregorio could have done better on Lazio's second goal — The shot was powerful with the right foot, but it came from a tight angle, so the goalkeeper could have handled it better.
- Lazio cannot afford to try to protect a two-goal lead — Sitting back and inviting Juventus forward can let Juventus turn pressure into goals.
- Weston McKennie is a confidence player and scored with confidence here; the Lazio defender was not tight enough on him — The Lazio defender lost McKennie in the box, and McKennie's shot kissed the post on its way in, leaving Provedel with no chance.
- Nuno Tavares made a terrible defensive decision and must pick up his man — Kalulu got a free header from just a couple of meters because Tavares failed to stay with him, and Provedel had no chance.
- Juventus's stoppage-time equalizer was well deserved — Juventus kept pressing and creating chances in the second half, and the move came from Miretti's switch and Boga's run and cross.
- Juventus showed a never-say-die spirit — Lazio were moments away from a huge win, but Juventus kept going to the end and Kalulu grabbed a point.

And now we are underway. Juventus back in action in today's after their loss to Atalanta in the cup as Yildiz goes direct. And they're appealing here, the Juventus players. Now, Kenan Yildiz. For Cambiaso. He's looking to make amends after his own goal last week, Andrea Cambiaso. McKennie though has a pocket of space to clear his lines and he's done really well to spot McKennie. Now Juventus on the break. McKennie. Thuram. Yildiz. The idea was there and Cataldi no option but to put it out for a corner. >> Yeah, I think Yildiz was trying to feed McKennie on the back post area. He does that kind of move usually but they are probably spotted a Cataldi read the situation well. >> Kalulu. And with the Frenchman. KALULU BUT BREMER! FLYING STOPPED BY PROVEDEL. Bremer thought his purple patch was continuing there. >> Yeah, brilliant save by Provedel but wonderful ball in from Kalulu. Bremer as usual rising higher than anyone. >> Cabal. Here's David. Back with Cabal. Cabal goes to ground, we play on. Now Yildiz. Swept away, but only to Koopmeiners. Cabal stayed down. McKennie Kalulu, need another good ball from him. Yildiz, KOOPMEINERS! THROUGH THE CROWD AND IN! SPALLETTI'S LOOKING TO REINVENT him as a center back. >> They have to check couple of times. First, probably and see if Thuram is Yeah, he's probably in an offside position. The French number 19, but they're going to check this challenge as well in between Hila and Cabal. Sweaty VR They have plenty of work to do. But this is Let's see from this point from this replay, Thomas. Yeah, you can see that Provedel probably it's got Thuram in front, so he cannot see the the ball. >> Careful and Thuram was obstructing the view of Provedel, and he was in an offside position, so the goal won't stand. Koopmeiners thought he was celebrating his first goal of the campaign, and maybe one of those turning points, even though we have said that before. Koopmeiners Thuram Yildiz Thuram back with Yildiz. Nice cutback. Cabal Still there. Now, David great control. Hildes Cambiasso McKennie They're queuing up here. Kalulu, Cambiasso's there. And then Koopmeiners! THROUGH A SEA OF Lazio jerseys and very nearly in. >> Yeah, he finds himself tonight, but it's all coming from De Vido. Brilliant first touch near the byline. >> Locatelli has to be careful here. Maldini picks his pocket. Locatelli caught napping now. MALDINI PEDRO! IN THE DYING EMBERS OF THE FIRST HALF, LAZIO A REAL SMASH AND GRAB. LOCATELLI, WHAT AN ERROR. Maldini for Pedro. >> Huge mistake by Juventus skipper. Maldini sneaking at the back there. And then near perfect ball with a perfect timing then from there Pedro doesn't miss. Yes, he's been helped by Bremer deflection. But this is an astonishing astonishing goal cuz Juventus were far far the better team in the first half. >> And now Maldini goes to ground. The referee says the ball was won. >> Yeah, but you cannot lose that kind of ball especially if your team is wide open and you are in control. >> And there goes the half time whistle. Hello again, Manuel Pasquali. Second half is underway. >> Yes, so we will see how Juventus now we're going to it's going to shape. Kind of 4-4-2 maybe with the McKennie alongside David in this wide left and wide right. >> Is I action looking to get away? Now comes to Maldini. That would be some start to the second period. Getting a second. And they're putting the pressure on here Lazio Dele Bashiru. It's scrappy from both sides. Kamada is away. Now Provedel, Pedro. His goal splitting the sides then. Getting that goal at the cusp of half time in added time of the first period. So a quick recap then. Basic off. Dele Bashiru on for the injured Croatian and Cambiaso appears to have dropped back and of course will play and Cambiaso was playing in the first half. In midfield. Cataldi great ball. Is I action now? IS I ACTION? THEY'VE DOUBLED THEIR LEAD. IS I ACTION? COUPLE OF HUGE GOALS LAST SEASON. >> LOOK HERE. BALL INTO Dele Bashiru. This is Sarri philosophy. And from here from a tight angle not sure if Di Gregorio can do something better. Yes, the shot with the right foot is powerful. But from that angle Michele Di Gregorio can do a better job. >> Now Lazio can't afford to try and protect this two goal cushion. Invite Juventus forward. Can yield this. Yield this. PROVEDEL PALMS IT AWAY. Danger not over. Is I over? One on one with Provedel. Girelli. Prof Guard sliding in. Now, Bremer. Could minors. Yildiz coming close then. Girelli into put the frighteners then on for Lazio. Girelli looking for Cambiaso or Marusic. Now, Yildiz again. Thuram! The idea was there. And Tavares gets there. Taylor Nuno Tavares Then I see it. That was a really good opportunity. Cambiaso Yildiz, Locatelli, now McKennie. COMES TO GIRELLI. STILL IN PLAY. CAMBIASO OR MCKENNIE! THEY'VE GOT ONE BACK! >> THOMAS, EASY. PUT THE BALL IN THE BOX. He's going to find the position. He's going to hit it. He's going to find the net. So many chances. Chance after chance, but finally look. Gila is losing him there. NOT TIGHT ENOUGH AND MCKENNIE confidence player there with confidence finding that kissing the post. No chance this time from Provedel. Game on. >> Touch of the one then from Weston McKennie. Here's Kenan Yildiz. Going to win the foul. Not given. Cataldi back with Providel. Now Sekerova. Yildiz. THIS IS LOCATELLI. VERY NEARLY making amends for his error in the first half. >> Yeah, now Juventus are flying out of flames here. Picking up the pieces, Sekerova finding Yildiz, then Locatelli. Decent effort. Too wide, just inches away from the far post. >> Can Yildiz thought he was going to race away there. Lazio stand their ground now. Lazio coming forward. Taylor. Daniel Maldini. For Noslin. Taylor! Just wide. Kalulu. Sekerova, Yildiz. Kalulu. Sekerova, McKennie, Yildiz! Punched away by Providel. Then the whistle goes. >> McKennie great lay off towards Yildiz. Good strike, but again Providel pumped it away. >> Here is Yildiz. Taram. That's a great sliding challenge. Really great work. I think it was Taylor. Daniel Maldini unfortunately lose possession there. Nuno Tavares. Loads of options here. Tavares! Dele-Bashiru! Noslin! Has spurned a glorious opportunity to win it for Lazio. Miretti Boga Jeremy Boga CHIPPED IN. KALULU! DEEP INTO ADDED TIME, KALULU! AND JUVENTUS HAVE RESCUED A POINT. >> And it's a well-deserved goal. Big switch of play again from Miretti to Boga, who beat Cancellieri by again look Nuno Tavares. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING. You have to pick your man, stay with him. Kalulu, free header from just a couple of meters. He had no chance even for Provedel tonight. >> David Now, Openda. Openda, wide. Boga Openda! And that probably was the last chance. Lazio were moments away from a massive win, but Juventus with that never-say-die spirit, fino alla fine, Pierre Kalulu grabbing a point.
