Zarate scores after just 88 seconds

Lazio moved above Udinese into fourth place in Serie A thanks to victory over Cesena at the Stadio Olimpico. A goal from Mauro Zarate after just 88 seconds was enough to lift the Biancoceleste back into the race for a place in the UEFA Champions League next season and leave Cesena in danger at the other end of the table. The home side had chances to make it a more comfortable win and almost paid the price for not doing so as Cesena fought spiritedly until the final whistle, albeit without creating any real chances. Zarate scored his first goal of 2011 to put Lazio in front after little over a minute. Stefano Mauri pulled the ball back from the byline and Zarate stretched out his right foot to divert it past Francesco Antonioli inside the far post.
