Italian giants Lazio came through a tricky trip to Slovenia with a two-goal advantage over Mura 05 in their Europa League qualifier this evening.

Mura restricted the visitors to few chances early on, but their resistance was broken on the half-hour when Brazilian playmaker Hernanes scored.

German international Miroslav Klose doubled the Italians' advantage in the second half after an assist from Abdoulay Konko.

Lazio host next week's return leg in Rome.
