MILAN (AP) — Lazio won at relegation-threatened Frosinone by an unconvincing 1-0 in Serie A to remain firmly in the race for a Champions League place on Monday.
Felipe Caicedo scored to send Lazio level on points with capital city rival Roma, one point behind fourth-place AC Milan. The top four in Serie A qualify for the Champions League.
Atalanta can move level on points with the two Rome-based teams with a victory over struggling Cagliari later.
Lazio made the breakthrough in the first half. Luis Alberto threaded the ball through to Caicedo and he took one touch before striking it powerfully into the back of the net.
There had been controversy 10 minutes earlier when referee Michael Fabbri awarded a penalty to Frosinone for a presumed tug from Bastos on Camillo Ciano but he revoked his decision on video review.
Frosinone remained second-to-last, five points from safety.
