Lazio beat Empoli 1-0 on the road in the 35th Serie A match of the season and momentarily move up to fourth place in the standings with 63 points, +1 on Juventus and +2 on Bologna. Dia's goal in the first minute of the game, from a cross by Hysaj after a ‘hole’ by Viti, was decisive. The same Viti in the 7th minute of the second half, turning on the development of a free kick, evened the score, but the referee cancelled for offside. The Tuscans had been playing in a numerical inferiority since the 38th minute of the first half due to the expulsion of Colombo for added admonitions. In the final quarter of an hour, in the 31st minute of the second half, Lazio were also left in ten for the expulsion of Hysaj, but the result did not change. D'Aversa's team thus remained penultimate on 25 points in the standings, minus two from the salvation zone.
