Lazio keep pace at the top, Juve, Milan and Roma all held

Lazio have leapt to the top of Serie A with a 3-1 victory over Monza, tying Inter Milan atop the standings. However, Roma, Juventus, and AC Milan all failed to advance, leaving them two, four, and five points back respectively. Roma's Donyell Malen's red card overshadowed their 0-0 draw against Como, placing them three points behind leaders Lazio.

AC Milan were held to a 1-1 draw by Sassuolo, leaving them four points away from the leaders in fifth place. Cagliari held Juventus to a 1-1 draw, maintaining their fourth-place position, two points ahead of Juventus in sixth. Manager Gennaro Gattuso led Lazio to their fifth win in six matches, still unbeaten. Despite fan protests, Lazio's home matches remain sparsely attended due to a stadium boycott.

In the other matches, Juventus required a late equalizer from Randal Kolo Muani against Cagliari, while AC Milan's Matteo Gabbia injury and Luka Modric's goal were followed by an equalizer from Cas Odenthal. Roma's unbeaten start stalled against Como, while Bologna secured their first win of the season by defeating Lecce 2-1.
