Lazio Rome, which remained on four victories in a row in the league, was surprised at home by Torino (0-1), Saturday during the 31st day of Serie A. This unexpected setback against the tenth in the standings weakens the second place of the Laziale. A place of dolphin that they could even give up to Juventus if the latter won Sunday against Naples the leader, in the match at the top of the day (8:45 p.m.).

Because Juve have provisionally recovered the 15 penalty points which had been inflicted on them for alleged accounting manipulations and thus find themselves propelled to third place, two lengths behind Lazio and three ahead of AS Roma, who will play at Atalanta. Monday at the end of the day.

Lazio’s last defeat dated back to February 12, already at home, against Atalanta (0-2, 22nd day). Since then, Maurizio Sarri’s men had lined up eight games without defeat in Serie A. But this time the best defense in the Italian championship (21 goals conceded, now tied with Naples), lost on a strike at the entrance of the surface of the Serbian Ivan Ilic, who deceived the goalkeeper of Lazio Ivan Provedel, uninspired on the action (43rd).

A deserved overall victory for the Turinese of Ivan Juric, who knew how to take advantage of a day without Laziale, where the striker Ciro Immobile, slightly injured in a traffic accident last Sunday, entered during the second half time. A perilous trip awaits Lazio on the next day, in Milan against Inter (6th).
