Lazio beat Cagliari to move into top four

2025-02-05
MILAN: Lazio climbed back into the Serie A top four on Monday above Juventus with a 2-1 victory at Cagliari sealed by Taty Castellanos` second-half goal.

The capital club bounced back from last weekend`s home loss to Fiorentina to move two points above fifth-placed Juve.

Fiorentina are one further point behind, with Bologna five points adrift of Lazio in the race to qualify for next season`s Champions League.

Mattia Zaccagni put Lazio ahead four minutes before half-time after Boulaye Dia earlier had a goal ruled out by VAR for handball.

Roberto Piccoli headed in from a corner to level for Cagliari early in the second half, but Taty Castellanos secured a deserved win for the visitors.

Napoli lead champions Inter Milan, who have a game in hand, by three points at the top of the table after the two title rivals were held to draws by Roma and AC Milan respectively on Sunday.-AFP
