Suspenseful draw at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium between Como and AS Roma: neither team managed to break the opposing deadlock (0-0). This meeting was of particular interest to French supporters, since Como will soon face Feyenoord in the Champions League. On the Roman side, the evening took an unfortunate turn with the expulsion of Donyell Malen shortly after the break, forcing the team to play with ten men for more than 35 minutes.
However, the AS Roma players got off to a strong start, driven by the desire to regain first place in Serie A lost to Inter. Paulo Dybala, served by Malen, did not target his attempt, while Lorenzo Pellegrini's shot bounced off the post. Como, for its part, relied on the activity of young Nico Paz, a real Argentinian hope, but Roman goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini kept watch. The chances then became rarer until half-time.

The match changed in the 53rd minute when Malen, judged too involved during a duel with Kaiki, was sent off by referee Michael Fabbri. Despite this numerical superiority, Como was not really able to worry a revamped Roma, with Marten de Roon playing his first match as a starter and Devyne Rensch entering at the end of the game. The Romans, solid in defense, however, did not regain the lead in the championship, remaining two lengths behind Inter.
In the other flagship match, Lazio hosted Monza for a shock where several Dutch internationals started (Danilho Doekhi, Kenneth Taylor, Tijjani Noslin). The latter weighed on the meeting, in particular Noslin, decisive double passer for Nuno Tavares (1-0) and Gustav Isaksen (2-0), then victim of a gross foul leading to the expulsion of Lorenzo Lucchesi on the Monza side. Reduced to ten, Monza still managed to save the honor after the break through Saba Goglichidze, before Andrea Pinamonto sealed the victory for Lazio (3-1).
In the standings, this success allows Lazio to join Inter at the top with two units ahead of Roma. Further, Juventus was held by Cagliari (1-1), thanks to an equalizer from Randal Kolo Muani on a cross from Kerim Alajbegovic, while AC Milan did no better than a draw against Sassuolo (1-1). The fight for the podium looks more uncertain than ever in Italy.
The rest
AS Roma will need to focus on their upcoming matches to stay in contention in the Serie A title race, hoping that Donyell Malen's expulsion does not further disrupt their season. Como, after this draw, will look to their Champions League clash, looking to capitalize on this experience to improve their game in Serie A. Both teams will need to adjust their strategies to maximize their impact in the competition.
