Cagliari tries, but it is Lazio who takes the three points at the Domus with a 1-2 victory. Piccoli equalizes Zaccagni's advantage at the beginning of the second half, then Castellanos decides on a defensive inattention of the rossoblù.

Viola had the first shot of the match, a nice left-footed shot from almost thirty meters in the 6th minute, on which Provedel had to dive because it was aimed at the post: he deflected it into a corner. But Piccoli had the initial great opportunity: in the 12th minute Zappa found him from a couple of meters from the goal and his deflection didn't find the goal. On a corner, in the 14th minute, Mina's header was blocked by Provedel .

For a quarter of an hour Lazio is practically never seen near Caprile, then they would score in the 17th minute. Rovella passes to Castellanos, Luperto anticipates him but hits a bad header in Mina's area, who passes it back to Dia and the strange trajectory becomes uncatchable for Caprile, under the crossbar. The assistant raises his flag to signal an offside that is not there, the VAR however cancels it because the Senegalese hit with his left hand and - even if accidentally - a goal cannot be scored like that .

At 35' a throw for Zaccagni on the left, the number 10 would be alone in front of Caprile but instead of trying to lob it into the area he looks for an assist and there is no one in the middle. But he finds the goal at 41', when in the center of the area he slides on a cross from the right by Hysaj and corrects it into the net . Cagliari's defense is stopped, in particular Zappa who does not follow him.

The second half was without changes, with a right-footed shot from Zortea going wide. In the 50th minute, Adopo missed the chance to equalise: freed in the area, with plenty of time to shoot, he shot high with his right foot with too much force. On a cross from Zortea that was too long for Piccoli, Hysaj made a mistake: he gave away a corner that Viola beat, a great trajectory to the far post and Piccoli headed it perfectly, it was the goal for 1-1 in the 55th minute .

Furious reaction from Lazio, Isaksen finds Castellanos and Caprile blocks his right foot shot. The rebound hits Mina's arm, but it's on the ground and cannot be considered punishable: the ball goes to the corner, taken by Romagnoli who heads it and forces Caprile to make a great save .

The guests are ahead again in the 64th minute: a long cross from Isaksen, it seems lost but Dia heads it back into the middle, Zaccagni sends Caprile out of action and Castellanos taps it in . But Cagliari's defense needs a lot of work. Gaetano comes on for Viola in the 69th minute, in an attempt to reinvigorate the offensive department. But it's Lazio again, in the 73rd minute a great vertical pass from Rovella cuts through the defense and Caprile denies Zaccagni a brace. Two minutes later, they repeat the feat on a left-footed shot from Isaksen, at the end of a counterattack.

Pavoletti and Deiola replace Zappa and Adopo for the last quarter of an hour, with Cagliari switching to 4-4-2. Zortea tries in the 82nd minute at the end of a persistent action, but Castellanos blocks him with his flank . It becomes a siege by the Rossoblu, although not so productive because Provedel does not have to make saves. Five minutes of injury time, but there is only a very high shot by Pavoletti.
