Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi was satisfied with their 1-1 draw against Inter Milan.
Lautaro Martinez had Inter ahead before an equaliser scored by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the second-half. Ciro Immobile saw red for Lazio.
“We have problems in defence and had to make three substitutions during the match due to injuries, but the lads showed character and we created a great deal even before the equaliser against a side that invested heavily in the transfer market," Inzaghi told DAZN.
“I am satisfied with the point, we put in a great performance. We started well, then conceded a goal the first time that Inter entered our penalty area. That hit our confidence, it took a while to get re-organised.
“We ended up using Marco Parolo as a centre-back and he did a great job, despite playing there twice in four years. He was very intelligent and can always cover any role I ask of him.
"I look over at Inter with Aleksandar Kolarov and Danilo D'Ambrosio on the bench, and I realise just how well we did in our current circumstances."
The decisive incident saw Immobile brush Vidal with his hand, prompting the red card.
“Immobile knows he was wrong, even if Vidal provoked him and is evidently much sneakier than he is."
