Mantova beat Lazio 2-0 in the Coppa Italia, using their compact 3-4-2-1 shape to withstand sustained territorial pressure before proving far more efficient in the decisive areas. Lazio’s 4-3-3 controlled 70% of possession and produced 21 shots, but only three tested the goalkeeper, highlighting the visitors’ success in protecting central spaces and limiting the quality of the home side’s finishing opportunities. Mantova operated with just 30% of the ball yet recorded seven shots on target from 12 attempts, giving their counter-attacking approach a clear cutting edge. The contrast between the goalkeepers further defined the tie: Mantova’s keeper saved all three efforts faced for a 100% save rate, while Lazio’s goalkeeper stopped five of seven shots on target, returning 71.43%. With no scorer information supplied, the scoreline and shooting figures provide the clearest picture of a disciplined away performance in which Mantova accepted long periods without possession and made their attacks count. Mantova advance after a tactically controlled away victory.
