VIDEO Nueva victoria de Gattus La pasión por saltar a la cima de las listas

Lazio climbed to the top of Serie A after securing a 2-0 victory away against Venezia in their fifth match of the season. The win marked the fourth consecutive league triumph for Gennaro Gattuso’s team, who remain undefeated in their opening five games. The decisive goals came in the second half, with Mattia Zaccagni scoring from the penalty spot in the 51st minute, followed by Tijjani Noslin doubling the lead just nine minutes later in the 60th minute. The result sees Lazio join Inter and Roma at the summit of the standings, each accumulating 13 points. This strong start contrasts sharply with last season, when Lazio finished ninth. Under Gattuso, the club has achieved four wins and one draw so far, showcasing a marked improvement over the previous campaign. Venezia, meanwhile, continues its struggles, remaining at the bottom of the table with zero points after five matches. The club has suffered three home defeats and two away losses, leaving them in a precarious position. Gattuso, previously the manager of Hajduk Split and a former Italy national team coach, has been instrumental in revitalizing Lazio’s performance this season. His tenure began with a third-place finish with Hajduk before he stepped down. With Lazio, he has quickly established himself as a successful tactician, leading the team to impressive results. The match against Venezia saw Lazio dominate possession throughout, maintaining control in the opposition's half of the pitch. Despite several chances created by Venezia, including a missed opportunity from Cancellieri in the first half, Lazio’s defense held firm under pressure. The visitors’ goalkeeper, Stanković, made crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet. Fans of Venezia were left disappointed after the defeat, with some reportedly expressing frustration during the final moments of the game. The club will likely take time to reflect on their performance ahead of the upcoming break.
