Lazio scored six away from home, Roma survived a late equaliser,and Como overturned a deficit in the closing stages as Serie A’s ninth round opened with three eventful matches on Tuesday.

Sassuolo lost 6–2 to Lazio, Roma defeated Cagliari 4–2, and Como came from behind to beat Torino 3–1. Across the three grounds, the evening produced 18 goals and three very different routes to victory.

Sassuolo 2–6 Lazio: Zaccagni Leads a Six-Goal Display

Lazio took control through Kenneth Taylor, Gustav Isaksen and Romano Floriani Mussolini, overcoming an early Sassuolo equaliser to establish a commanding position.

The hosts’ difficulties deepened when Kristian Thorstvedt was dismissed shortly after the half-hour mark. Sebastiano Esposito reduced the deficit, but Mattia Zaccagni’s header in first-half stoppage time restored Lazio’s two-goal cushion.

Tijjani Noslin then struck twice after the interval. Sassuolo goalkeeper Stefano Turati saved penalties from Zaccagni and Davide Frattesi, preventing an even heavier defeat.

Lazio’s attacking influence extended beyond the finishing. Zaccagni combined goalscoring with chance creation, Isaksen contributed both a goal and an assist, and Noslin supplied the second-half cutting edge.

Roma 4–2 Cagliari: Lulli Shines Before the Bench Decides It

Roma needed two separate responses to secure victory at the Stadio Olimpico.

M’Bala Nzola’s early penalty put Cagliari ahead, but Emanuele Lulli equalised before setting up Niccolò Pisilli to turn the match around.

Daniel Maldini brought the visitors level in the 81st minute, leaving Roma facing dropped points. Instead, substitutes Rodrigo Mora and Donyell Malen scored in quick succession to settle the contest. Roma’s four goals came from four different scorers.

Lulli supplied the early momentum, Mora added creativity and the decisive third goal, while goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini’s work also mattered in a match where Cagliari continued to threaten.

Jacobo Ramón headed in Nico Paz’s delivery to equalise, before Paz scored himself from a Yan Couto cross. Martin Baturina completed the comeback in stoppage time.

Como’s persistence ultimately broke Torino’s resistance, with their late goals rewarding an evening spent pressing for a route back into the contest.
