  "account": "Lazio coach Gennaro Gattuso's team solidified their position atop Serie A on Sunday, defeating Cagliari 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico, surpassing Inter Milan in the standings. Cagliari took the lead in the 20th minute with a goal from M Bala Nzola, but Lazio responded with goals from Gustav Isaksen and Andrea Pinamonti in both halves. With 28 points after 10 games, Lazio leads three points ahead of Inter after Inter's loss in the Milan derby. Roma, unbeaten throughout the season, is third with 24 points, while Como climbed back to fourth with a 1-0 win over Venezia. Lazio's ultimate goal, as stated by Gattuso, is to avoid relegation, and they still need 12 more points. The Roman team has not been receiving full support from some fans, who have been boycotting home matches in protest against owner Claudio Lotito. Como demonstrated their strength with a strong home victory over Venezia, marking their fifth consecutive win in all competitions. This win, combined with Cesc Fabregas' team's defeat to AC Milan, keeps Como one point behind Roma. Como enters the next Champions League match against Lens confident, having the best record of Serie A clubs in the European competition.",
  "summary": "Gennaro Gattuso's side moved three points clear of Inter Milan with a 2-1 victory over Cagliari, securing a sixth straight Serie A win.",
