Four goals were recorded within the opening sixteen minutes, making that early exchange central to understanding the six-goal away total. Lazio scored first, conceded an own-goal equaliser and then struck twice to restore a clear advantage. Sassuolo reduced the deficit before half-time, but Mattia Zaccagni’s stoppage-time reply preserved a two-goal cushion.

Tijjani Noslin then added two after the break. The own goal benefited Sassuolo and must not be added to Lazio’s scoring total or treated as an attacking goal for its scorer. Lazio’s sixteen attempts against nine also show that the gap in goals was much larger than the gap in shots: this match’s finishing outcome matters more than volume alone.
