The success against Cagliari allows Lazio to catch up with Fiorentina and Atalanta in the standings, thus returning to place ahead of Juventus. At the Olimpico, coach Marco Baroni’s men immediately found the advantage thanks to Boulaye Dia’s goal just 2′ after kick-off, but the guests managed to put the result back in balance at the end of the first half with the goal scored by Zito Luvumbo in 41st. Mattia Zaccagni decides the match in the second half, capable of converting a penalty kick less than a quarter of an hour before the end of the match. The rossoblù were then forced to end the match with 9 men due to the expulsions of Yerri Mina and Michel Adopo, both given in the 78th minute.
