Cagliari were unable to do anything, losing for the second time in four days. Lazio won 2-0 with second-half goals from Isaksen and Zaccagni, two great finishes.

Cagliari confirmed their 4-3-1-2 formation, with Palestra switching flanks and playing on the left . The first quarter of an hour was uneventful, save for a shot from Prati following a blocked corner (4') that went over. In the 15th minute, Gaetano released Folorunsho on the left, but his right-footed shot was weak and Provedel saved easily. Esposito, however, failed to capitalize on a rebound in the 20th minute; the ball reached him on the edge of the box and he fired with his left foot: way over.

Gaetano's stomach problems forced Felici to warm up, with the number 10 remaining on the pitch, despite not being at his best. Meanwhile, in the 27th minute, Lazio took a corner with a short pass and Cataldi crossed low: Palestra, sliding, intervened and avoided problems. But a minute later, the Biancocelesti came close to taking the lead, with Zaccagni getting away from Zappa and crossing back for Bašić to fire a left-footed shot just over the bar . A similar situation arose in the 30th minute, with Lazzari breaking away on the right for a low cross that Zaccagni turned wide.

Lazio picked up the pace midway through the first half, and in the 31st minute Marušić also had a go, but Caprile dived to curl his right-footed shot into the corner, denying him the 1-0 lead. This was the Biancocelesti's best chance of the first half, while Cagliari had a big one in the 43rd minute. Esposito's free kick led to a scramble in the box, where Folorunsho, who fired from a tight angle, met Provedel's save. The ball returned to the number 90, who tapped it in behind for Luperto, whose left-footed shot was blocked . Halftime was called after a minute of added time.

The second half resumed with Provstgaard replacing Romagnoli, who had been experiencing a right thigh problem towards the end of the first half. In the 49th minute, Esposito fed Borrelli, who dropped a right-footed shot but lacked coordination. Shortly after, in the 52nd minute, Gaetano, on a counterattack, got away from Isaksen and raced down the center-left, but his left-footed shot was weak and effectively handed the ball to Provedel . The Rossoblu continued their progress, with Palestra's cross in the 53rd minute for Mina's header, but Provedel saved it, and in the 55th minute, Folorunsho's cross-shot was too long for some of his teammates.

Pisacane's first substitution came in the 57th minute, Felici replacing Gaetano (who was booked 40 seconds into the second half). The substitute received a yellow card two minutes after coming on for holding Zaccagni. Former Lazio player Vecino replaced Bašić in the 62nd minute. The match broke the deadlock in the 65th minute with a feat from Isaksen: he received the ball on the right, skipped past Palestra and Luperto, and moved inside, leaving Caprile with a powerful left-footed shot .

After the 1-0 lead, Pisacane made two substitutions for his two forwards. In the 69th minute, Esposito and Borrelli were replaced by Luvumbo and Kılıçsoy. However, Adopo took the lead with a quarter of an hour remaining, with a right-footed shot from outside the area easily saved by Provedel. One final substitution slot was used in the 79th minute, bringing on Pavoletti for Folorunsho and Idrissi for Palestra. In the 82nd minute, the number 30 almost deflected a cross-shot from Prati that went wide .

Following a Cagliari corner from the right, Pavoletti tries to turn it in, finding a rebound that favors Felici: his powerful right-footed shot is blocked by Guendouzi with the back of his head (85'). Zaccagni then comes close to doubling the lead with a low right-footed shot from the edge of the area that misses the target. The four minutes of injury time begin with Lazio doubling their lead, sealing the match. Following a mistake by Prati, Zaccagni moves inside and sends the ball into the corner with a powerful right-footed shot .
