Lazio beat Como with a clear 5-1 on matchday ten of the championship, thus gaining third place in the standings, tied with Atalanta and Fiorentina. The match, played at the Sinigaglia stadium, was unlocked thanks to the guests, who took the lead with a penalty scored by Castellanos and then with a goal by Pedro. Como, deprived of Sergi Roberto and Perrone, failed to express their potential in the first half, but found the strength to react at the start of the second half thanks to a spectacular overhead kick by Mazzitelli. Despite the reaction, the home team wasted some important opportunities and the guests took advantage: Patric, a brace by Castellanos and the last goal by Tchaouna completed the score. This result seems harsh for Como, who thus suffered their second consecutive defeat.

The key episode of the match occurred shortly after the halfway point: during a prolonged move by Lazio, Castellanos headed the ball and Alberto Dossena extended his arm. Referee Luca Pairetto, supported by VAR, awarded a penalty to the Biancocelesti. In the 28th minute, Castellanos converted the penalty, wrong-footing Audero. This goal gave Lazio the boost they needed to increase their lead; just two minutes later, they doubled their lead: Nuno Tavares served Pedro, who beat Audero at the near post.

In an attempt to turn the tide of the game, Fabregas brought on Da Cunha for Fadera at half-time. The start of the second half saw a reinvigorated Como who managed to score thanks to a feat by Mazzitelli, but shortly after the visitors benefited from the expulsion of Braunöder in the 62nd minute. Despite this numerical superiority, Lazio also received a red card for Nuno Tavares a few minutes later.

The match becomes intense and hard-fought; Como tries to react but it is Lazio who scores the third goal with Patric who finishes a well-orchestrated corner kick. Como then has two chances to reopen the game but fails to capitalize. Lazio takes advantage of the opportunity and Castellanos scores his brace in the 81st minute, while Tchaouna definitively closes the accounts in injury time with the fifth goal. The match thus ends with a convincing victory for the guests.
