S.S. Lazio Is Ousted by Serie B Side Como 1907 in Coppa Italia

Lazio's Coppa Italia Run Comes to an Abrupt End

S.S. Lazio's hopes of winning the Coppa Italia were dashed on Tuesday night as they were defeated 2-1 by Serie B side Como 1907 in the round of 16. The Biancocelesti took the lead in the 10th minute through a Ciro Immobile penalty, but Como fought back to equalize through Cesc Fabregas in the 25th minute. The winning goal came in the 89th minute when Leonardo Mancuso slotted home a penalty for the Serie B side.

The defeat was a major disappointment for Lazio, who had been in good form in recent weeks. They had won their last three Serie A matches and were looking to add the Coppa Italia to their trophy cabinet. However, Como proved to be a tough opponent and they deserved their victory.

Lazio's Performance Was Disappointing

Lazio's performance was disappointing, especially in the second half. They were unable to create many chances and they looked vulnerable to Como's counterattacks. Maurizio Sarri will be disappointed with his team's performance and he will be hoping for a better showing when they return to Serie A action on Sunday.

Como Deserved Their Victory

Como deserved their victory. They played with great spirit and determination and they never gave up. They were also clinical in front of goal, taking their chances when they came. Giacomo Gattuso will be delighted with his team's performance and he will be hoping that they can continue their good form in Serie B.

Conclusion

Lazio's defeat to Como was a major disappointment, but they will need to pick themselves up quickly as they have a big Serie A match against Juventus on Sunday. Como, on the other hand, will be buoyed by their victory and they will be hoping to continue their good form in Serie B.
