Overview

• Roma climbed to fourth in Serie A with the shutout, level on points with AC Milan and Napoli and one behind leaders Juventus.
• Playing in Paulo Dybala’s absence, Pellegrini celebrated by kissing the Curva Sud as fans unfurled a banner reading "Welcome back, captain."
• AP-based reports say Dwayne Rensch dispossessed Nuno Tavares before supplying the pass for the goal, though some outlets credited Matías Soulé.
• Mile Svilar preserved the lead with key saves, including tipping a Mattia Zaccagni effort over the bar, while other coverage disputed the goalkeeper credited.
• Lazio finished with two expulsions—Reda Belahyane late in regulation and Matteo Guendouzi after the final whistle—and the midday kickoff featured cooling breaks with little reported disorder.
