Five goals conceded and an unbeaten home run lost. The first midweek round of the 2024/25 Serie A brings out all the typical limitations of the newly promoted team Howoverwhelmed at Sinigaglia by a super Lazio. Marco Baroni’s team wins 5-1 taking advantage of all the home team’s carelessness And flies to third place in the standings, while the Como players remain embroiled in the brawl in the lower areas.
The result was probably too severe but it reflects the difference in values on the pitch: on the one hand a determined and “bad” team, on the other one that lost almost all the duels and also allowed itself the luxury of missing two sensational opportunities at 1-3. Dossena and the defense take the stand but it is the whole team, regardless of the significant absences, that has taken a step back. Not even Luca Mazzitelli’s masterpiece was enough to straighten out an evening that started badly and ended worse.
Mister Cesc Fabregas is aware of this, as he clearly analyzed the defeat while also speaking of individual errors and the aspects to be corrected to reverse the trend. The next round reserves an important direct clash to regain confidence: Empoli will be forbidden from making so many mistakes.
