While Lazio of Rome was full of confidence before facing Nice in the Europa League by beating Torino (3-2) earlier in the day, its Roman neighbor intended to confirm its great victory against Udinese ( 3-0), last weekend. Too wait-and-see and uninspired during the first act, Ivan Juric’s Roma were punished by Venice and an achievement from their captain, Pohjanpalo (0-1, 44th). With his back to the wall, La Louve turned the game around after returning from the locker room. If Cristante reset the counters (1-1, 74th), Pisilli offered the Romans all three points (2-1, 84th). In character, AS Rome has a second success in a row in the league and moves into the first half of the table.

At the same time, Como and Hellas Verona crossed swords in Lombardy. After securing their first victory this season in the championship last week, the promoted team added another success to their credit. In front of their home crowd, Cesc Fàbregas’ team improved a first period clearly dominated by Cutrone, whose deflected shot from a tight angle beat Montipo (1-0, 43rd). Returning from the locker room, Hellas caught up with a penalty from Lazovic (1-1, 55th) before being reduced to ten against eleven following the exclusion of Suslov (64th). A numerical superiority exploited by Como who got back in front thanks to Cutrone (2-1, 72nd). At the end of the match, Belotti secured the three points for his team (3-1, 89th) despite the further reduction in the gap from Lambourde (3-2, 90th + 4). 10th, Côme continues its rise in the ranking and gives itself some breathing space.
