Lazio
Monza
Outstanding performance
Monza•AttackerLazio raced into a two-goal lead inside 23 minutes through Nuno Tavares and Gustav Isaksen, dominating possession at 66% and carving out the better chances throughout. Monza's night worsened when Lorenzo Lucchesi was sent off for a professional foul as last man, but the visitors still found a way back into the game seconds into the second half through Saba Goglichidze's header from a corner, making for a nervy period for the hosts despite their numerical advantage. Lazio weathered that response and eventually used their extra man and fresher legs to pull away again, with Andrea Pinamonti - on as a substitute - finishing off a fast break in the 88th minute to seal it. The result keeps Lazio's title credentials intact while Monza, already fighting in the lower reaches of the table, will be frustrated at conceding from set-piece vulnerability and failing to make their red-card resilience count for more.
