Felipe Anderson should have scored for the visitors early on, but after finding himself free in the box, he fired his effort over the bar.

Midway through the half, Lazio took the lead when Brayan Perea reacted the quickest in the box to head past the keeper.

Vladimer Dvalishvili immediately had a chance to draw the home side level, but after receiving the ball inside the box he could only direct his shot wide.

The visitors doubled lead after the break, as Andreson latched on to a pass from Hernanes, before drilling a shot into the bottom corner past Dusan Kuciak.

Ogenyi Onazi came close to making it three for the visitors after having successive shots blocked in the closing stages, but they held on to comfortably secure their passage into the knockout stages.
