The unbeaten Firenze Guelfi (8-0) extended their perfect season with a commanding 49-17 win over the Lazio Marines (2-5) in the Italian Football League, electrifying a packed Guelph Stadium in Florence.

Guelfi’s offensive barrage
QB Andrea Fimiani dazzled with 5 total TDs: two passing scores to Eystin Salum and Frankie Stola, plus three rushing touchdowns. RB Matteo Bellesi added a 60-yard breakaway dash, cementing Firenze’s explosive 42-10 first-half lead.

Marines’ fleeting fightback
Lazio countered with K Jacopo Impallomeni’s field goal and two TD passes from Josiah Norwood to Zane Jacob Thornton, but Fimiani’s third-quarter strike to Salum snuffed out any rally hopes.

Unbeaten streak intact
The Guelfi, now 8-0, tightened their grip on Group B’s top seed, showcasing a balanced attack (289 rush yards, 215 pass yards). Lazio’s defense had no answer for Firenze’s tempo, surrendering 504 total yards.
