Pandev is pretty impressive in his serie a games but he has to start scoring!
Here is a report from tonight's Lazio game!
Lazio 1 - 1 Siena
Couto 47 (L), Portanova 67 (S)
Stadio Olimpico
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lazio boss Mimmo Caso is under pressure as the run of poor results continues, including their sluggish performance in the 2-0 UEFA Cup defeat at Middlesbrough.
The injury crisis has undoubtedly played its part, as Giuliano Giannichedda was added to a long list that includes Fabio Liverani, Roberto Muzzi and Emanuele Filippini, but Simone Inzaghi returned from a thigh problem.
Enrico Chiesa had an unsuccessful spell with Lazio and he almost broke the deadlock with a spectacular rising strike from a very tight angle, but Matteo Sereni was ready to palm it out of the top corner.
Goran Pandev's effort was deflected wide off Cirillo's hip, then there was a fine save on the Macedonian hitman. Tommaso Rocchi sprung the offside trap and should have passed it to Simone Inzaghi, but preferred to pull it back and the defence was able to clear.
Rocchi again ran on to a fine Pandev pass and sprinted down the left flank, but after leaving Marco Fortin behind he couldn't squeeze his shot on target.
Lazio were beginning to pile on the pressure and Fortin had his palms stung by a powerful Ousmane Dabo free kick from 30 metres.
The Capital club finally took a deserved lead within moments of the restart, as Fernando Couto nodded in Massimo Oddo's corner kick for his third goal of the season.
Fortin was keeping Siena in the game by rushing off his line to block first Pandev and then Rocchi, while Simone inzaghi's goal was disallowed for offside.
If Lazio have their top scoring defender, then so do Siena and Daniele Portanova turned in his third of the campaign. Argilli held up a Chiesa free kick for his teammate and nobody closed him down as Portanova tapped in from six yards.
Rocchi and Pandev were the last to give in, but Siena's stout defending kept the scoreline level.
