Braunöder sees yellow for Como
In the parallel match between Como 1907 and Lazio Rome, the home side, for whom Matthias Braunöder from Burgenland was in the starting eleven after little playing time recently but was sent off with a yellow card in the 61st minute, suffered a 1:5 defeat. The goals for Lazio were scored by Valentin Castellanos (28th/penalty, 81st), Pedro (31st), Patric (71st) and Loum Tchaouna (95th), while only Luca Mazzitelli (53rd) scored for Como.
