Dele-Bashiru: Lazio secure deal for Man City-trained Nigerian new no.10 from Hatyaspor
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru's stock continues to rise after Serie A club Lazio have reportedly agreed to a deal with Hatyaspor for his service.
The former Hatayspor man's goal was sandwiched by two Boulaye Dia strikes in the 3-0 triumph that helped Marco Baroni's men pick up three crucial points away from home.
Key match details
The Italians had a bright start and soon got ahead when Boulaye Dia slotted a precise finish into the far corner, courtesy of Pedro's clever pass, inside five minutes. This sparked the hosts, Dynamo, into action, but despite dominating possession, clear-cut chances proved elusive.
Lazio, however, continued to show they super offensive quality and their swift double salvo took the contest away from their host’s reach.
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru unleashed a powerful strike into the top corner courtesy of Matias Vecino's piercing pass. That was the Nigerian’s first goal as a Lazio player. Senegalese ace, Dia, headed home almost immediately after, for his brace and Le Aquile’s third of the match.
Dynamo frantically sought a pre-half-time reply, but Ivan Provedel stood firm, denying Volodymyr Brazhko and Andriy Yarmolenko.
As the clock ticked into the final 20 minutes, Dynamo's faint comeback hopes were extinguished when substitute Maksym Bragaru received his marching orders for a reckless challenge on Mattia Zaccagni.
In a late twist, Lazio's Tijjani Noslin was also dismissed for an off-the-ball elbow, reducing the visitors to 10 men. Nevertheless, Dynamo failed to capitalise, unable to find a consolation goal.
