A cold shower at the Olimpico Stadium suffering a defeat and slowing down the race for the Scudetto.  Stats proving a nightmare for Lazio in games at the Olimpico  in favor of Chievo.  Yep, after this game, Chievo and Lazio playing in Serie A at the Olimpico 11 times.   Chievo winning 4, 1 win from Lazio and 6 draws.

In the 61st minute when Chievo forward Alberto Paloschi opens the score.  The action started by the pass from Cyril Théréau to forward Bojan Jokic delivering a left footed shot  hitting the bar, then, in the area there was Paloschi not wasting this chance and delivers a right footed shot defeating Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti in the bottom right corner.  It's the 7th goal this season for Paloschi who run to celebrate next to the corner flag standing.   Lazio players protested for a possible offside, but Referee Giacomelli sees a regular goal and is validated.

It's amazing, now, up to Lazio to wake up or Chievo confirm their dominion at the Olimpico.

Lazio reacting by making a substitution in the 62nd minute with midfielder Hernanes replacing midfielder Alvaro Gonzalez.

In the 74th minute, Lazio with another substitution.  Libor Kozak  replacing defender Stefan Radu.

Chievo making a substitution in the 75th minute replacing forward Paloschi by Adrian Stoian.
