ROME (ITALPRESS) – Lazio shines again in the sign of “Taty” Castellanos, who returns to scoring after a month and a half since the last time and, with a brace, is the protagonist in the 1-5 biancoceleste victory on the field of a never tame Como. A success that allows the capitolini to move up to third place on 19 points, in the company of Atalanta and Fiorentina. Heavy, on the other hand, the home loss for Fabregas’ Lariani. The Spanish coach confirmed Cutrone with the Strefezza-Paz-Fadera trio behind him, while Baroni still had to do without Zaccagni, who was joined by the absence of Rovella: Noslin and Vecino were on the field. Also, first league starter for Pedro, with Dia starting from the bench. The biancocelesti immediately try to impose their rhythm and sting with Castellanos after a few minutes. The Argentine starred before the half-hour mark with a header that found Dossena’s hand touch: Pairetto awarded the penalty to the biancocelesti after on-field review. From the penalty spot goes Castellanos himself, who scores by kicking at the crossbar. Como suffers the backlash and Lazio takes advantage with the usual Tavares who on 31′ serves the assist to Pedro, who beats a less than perfect Audero. Como showed itself only in the final half with Dossena’s bank that by a whisker did not find Goldaniga, anticipated by Provedel.
On the return from halftime, Fabregas inserted Da Cunha for Fadera and the home team changed its face, gaining meters and shortening at 53′ with Mazzitelli’s splendid bicycle kick, with the ball going over Provedel and kissing the inside post, before slotting into the net. Braunoder’s ingenuity, who in 62′ committed a second caution foul leaving his team in ten, seemed to break the inertia in Como’s favor, but three minutes later Tavares was also too impetuous, in turn deserving his second yellow and restoring numerical parity. In 72′ Patric tries to put the game on ice by scoring the third biancoceleste goal by slotting in at the second post after a spurt by Dia on the corner taken by Pedro. Cutrone tried to open it up again by dressing as an assist man, but first Engelhardt and then Cerri wasted everything by sending in from a central position with the goal wide open. In the 81st minute, Castellanos beat Audero on the way out taking advantage of Dia’s assist, while in the recovery it was Tchaouna sealing the final 1-5, which allows Lazio to remain -2 from the second place occupied by Inter, while Como, despite the good overall performance, retains just one point ahead of the relegation zone.
