Join Football Italia as we cover all the action from the last match of Serie A match-week 21, as Lazio host Como at the Stadio Olimpico this Monday evening.

Butez does well to deny Zaccagni from close range, the Como keeper hangs on to his clean sheet.
The yellows are stacking up for Lazio after Cataldi becomes the third Biancocelesti player in the referee’s book.
Yellow card for Romagnoli after a foul on Baturina
Lazio are pressing Como in their own half but have been a little over-eager, giving away a couple of fouls in quick succession in the visitors’ half

Taylor plays a short pass through to Zaccagni who takes another swing at it from the edge of the box, easy save for Butez, though.

First booking of the game, Zaccagni shown a yellow for a foul on Ivan Smolcic.
Zaccagni fires an effort from the edge of the box this time but it is blocked.
Cataldi picks the ball up on the edge of the box and takes a shot but it is a tame effort, he doesn’t really connect with it well, and Como keeper Butez claims it easily.
Lazio are pushing for an equaliser, sending a couple of good balls into the box but they have been dealt with well by the Como defence.
Marusic tries to play a long pass for the hosts but overcooks it and it goes out of play. Difficult start for Lazio here.
Blimey, that was fast.
Baturina opens the scoring for Como in his first start in a month. Valle sets him up on the edge of the box and he strikes it well past Provedel to give Fabregas’ side the early lead.
