Lazio's six‑goal surge propels them to provisional Série A lead

Under the floodlights of the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, Lazio unleashed a torrent of attacks, eventually overwhelming Sassuolo 6‑2 and climbing to the top of the Série A of the Italiano championship. The victory came in the opening match of the ninth round and cemented the side's strong early‑season form.

Dominant first half

Lazio took advantage of Sassuolo’s defensive frailty, netting four times before the break. Kenneth Taylor opened the scoring, followed by Gustav Isaksen, Romano Floriani Mussolini and Mattia Zaccagni. The rapid succession left the visitors in disarray.

Sassuolo saw Kristian Thorstvedt dismissed after 31 minutes, reducing them to ten men. Despite the setback, the Norwegian midfielder later pulled one back, and Sebastiano Esposito added another before halftime. The comeback proved insufficient to alter the tide.
