Frattesi scores to give Lazio victory over Bologna in Serie A opener
Summary

Lazio edged past Bologna 1-0 in Gennaro Gattuso's first match as head coach in Serie A on August 24, 2026. Davide Frattesi, a summer signing, found the net just four minutes after he was substituted in. The forwards struggled for clear chances in a lackluster first half, leading to five yellow cards and Bologna's coach Domenico Tedesco receiving a red card. Lazio had an impressive save from goalkeeper Christos Mandas in the second half to maintain their lead. The match unfolded at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in Bologna.
