Pedro Rodriguez, a forward who played for England’s Chelsea football club, played yesterday for Lazio, a dominant team in the Italian Serie A, in their 25th league game of the current season against Napoli away from home at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
The 35-year-old football guru started the game on the bench for tactical reasons, but he was brought in for Felipe Anderson in the 59th minute, when the score remained goalless.
After making an appearance as a substitute in the second half, Pedro Rodriguez was able to play his part and complete his quota in the thrilling and close game.
Before Matias Vecino opened the scoring in the 67th minute, he gave the visitor the lead to make it one nil, which was also the final scoreline at full time. The first half of the game was such a balanced one between the two teams that there was nothing separating them going into the halftime break.
After being introduced, Pedro Rodriguez has had a significant impact on the game, and they will be hoping to keep up the high standard in their next game as they pursue their competition goal.
