LAZIO MATCH OFFICIALS Referee Bertrand Layec (FRA) Assistant referees Jean-Paul Harribey (FRA), Lionel Dagorne (FRA) Fourth official Olivier Thual (FRA) UEFA delegate Paul Krähenbühl (SUI) MATCH BACKGROUND Lazio need to make experience count Egaleo FC are one of three teams in the competition who are new to UEFA club competitions this season, and, after two defeats in two group games, the Greek side now face daunting opposition in the form of S.S. Lazio. First goal sought The Greeks will be anxious not only to gain their first points in group competition, but also score their first goals. Egaleo lost their opening game 1-0 at home to Middlesbrough FC before a Saša Ilic hat-trick sent them to a 4-0 defeat at FK Partizan. But they did well to reach the group stage by eliminating the highly- rated Turkish club Gençlerbirligi SK and will seek to frustrate their Italian opponents who expect to qualify. Panionios humbled Lazio have won both their previous ties against Greek clubs and remain unbeaten in Greece without conceding a goal. In the quarter final of the 1989/99 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, Lazio visited Panionios NFC and two goals from Dejan Stankovic and other strikes from Marcelo Salas and Pavel Nedved took the Italians to a 4-0 win. Lazio completed their good work with a 3-0 home win in the return, and went on to win the competition with a 2-1 success against RCD Mallorca in the last ever Cup Winners’ Cup final at Villa Park, Birmingham. Xanthi defeated Four years later, in the first round of the 2002/03 UEFA Cup, Lazio played Greek newcomers Xanthi FC, who were in their first European campaign. Lazio won at the Stadio Olympico with goals from Christian Manfredini, Claudio López, Simone Inzaghi and César for another 4-0 success, before playing out a 0-0 draw in the return leg. So in four matches against Greek opposition, Lazio have yet to concede a goal and have scored eleven times in assembling a record of three wins and a draw in four games. 1/8 16:10:10 uefa.com Matchday 4 - Group E - Thursday, 2 December 2004 - PRESS KITS EGALEO-LAZIO PLAYERS PROFILES Egaleo FC Goalkeepers No Name Nat.
