Roma's "Lazio" did not disappoint and released the main lineup in the first round of the European Conference League playoffs.

Despite the fact that the team was represented by key players, Maurizio Sarri's students barely beat "Cluj" footballers 1-0.

"Lazio" team's plans were greatly disrupted by Patric receiving a red card in the 15th minute. The defender was expelled for the last hope goal.

Nevertheless, at least a minimal victory was achieved by the Rome team. Ciro Immobile scored the only goal during the added time of the first half.

The return match will take place in a week in Romania.
