Lazio strengthened its rank in the Italian Football League by defeating its host Spezia 3-0 on Friday, as part of the opening of the 30th stage competitions.

The goals of the capital team were scored by Ciro Immobile (36 from a penalty kick), Brazilian Felipe Anderson in front of the goal after a wonderful collective exchange of the ball (52), and his substitute compatriot Marcos Antonio scored his first goal with the team from a counterattack (89).

In light of Napoli's distance from the lead on its way to the first title in the league since 1990, other clubs are competing for the other three seats that qualify for the Champions League, and Lazio appears in a favorable position to snatch one of them.

Coach Maurizio Sarri's team raised its score to 61 points, moving 8 points away from its neighbor and rival, Roma III, which separates it from Milan IV, an orphan point, and the same between the Rossoneri and its neighbor Inter V.

Rome will host Udinese at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday, while Milan will beat Bologna on Saturday and host Inter Monza on the same day.

Lazio kept its record unbeaten in the league for the eighth consecutive match in its quest to return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2020-2021 season.

As for Spezia, who ended the match with ten players after Welshman Ethan Ampadu was sent off in the 84th minute for a second warning, his score froze at 26 points in the seventeenth place, four points away from the first relegation centers.

In another match, Cremonese maintained its chances of staying among the seniors by defeating Empoli 1-0 at home, with the goal of Nigerian Cyril Desire, achieving its second successive victory and only the third in the league this season.

He raised his score to 19 points in the penultimate nineteenth place, while Empoli's balance was frozen at 32 in the fourteenth place.
Cremonese had achieved a surprise in the cup this season by eliminating Napoli and Rome, but it finds itself on the verge of exiting the semi-finals after losing at home in the first leg against Fiorentina 2-0 before the return match after nearly two weeks.
