Claudio Ranieri reveals he complimented Pippo Inzaghi after Benevento’s 3-2 comeback victory over Sampdoria. ‘It was fully deserved.’

Samp had taken a comfortable early lead through Fabio Quagliarella and Omar Colley, but fell apart after the restart.

“We were 2-0 up and should’ve been able to control the game, but we conceded in a chaotic situation and that revived Benevento,” Ranieri told Sky Sport Italia.

Lazio and Benevento drew 0-0 in their pre-season friendly, with no winners between brother coaches Simone and Pippo Inzaghi.

They will meet again in Serie A this season, but both their Week 1 fixtures were postponed to September 30.

That is because Lazio’s opponents Atalanta and Benevento’s rivals Inter finished their 2019-20 seasons late due to the Champions League and Europa League Final Eight participation.
