Today marked the first matches of the UEFA Europa League Round of 16, and one of them witnessed a true football miracle.

Details: Lazio secured an expected victory over Viktoria Plzen (2-1) away from home, but during the match, the Romans were on the brink of disaster.

In the 77th minute, Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella received a red card, and the situation for Marco Baroni's team worsened significantly when Samuel Gigot was also sent off in the third minute of stoppage time.

But even with nine men, Lazio managed to launch a decisive goal-scoring attack. The winning goal was credited to Gustav Isaksson.
