Serie A Matchday 29 delivered a gripping set of results on Sunday, March 15, 2026, with Lazio claiming a vital 1-0 win over AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and Como producing a stunning comeback to beat Roma 2-1 at the Stadio Sinigaglia. The results have significant implications for the top-four race and European qualification spots as the season enters its final stretch.
At the Stadio Olimpico, Lazio took the lead through Gustav Isaksen in the 26th minute, and that solitary goal proved enough to secure all three points. Milan pushed hard in the second half, creating several chances and piling on the pressure in the closing stages, but the Biancocelesti defense held firm. The defeat is a blow to Milan's Champions League ambitions, as they continue to struggle for consistency on the road this season.
The biggest surprise of the day came at the Stadio Sinigaglia, where Como overturned an early deficit to beat Roma 2-1. Donyell Malen had given Roma the lead from the penalty spot in the seventh minute, but the hosts responded with character. Anastasios Douvikas equalized in the 59th minute before Diego Carlos headed home the winner in the 79th minute, sending the home crowd into raptures. It was a painful result for Roma, who had been looking to climb the table after a mixed run of form.
Elsewhere on Sunday, Genoa earned a comfortable 2-0 away victory over Hellas Verona in the early 12:30 kickoff, continuing their solid recent run. Bologna ground out a hard-fought 1-0 win at Sassuolo in the 15:00 fixture, while Pisa impressed with a convincing 3-1 home triumph over Cagliari in the other afternoon match.
Saturday's action had already set the tone for an eventful matchday. The headline result saw Inter held to a 1-1 draw by Atalanta in a closely contested encounter between two of the league's top sides. Napoli maintained their title push with a 2-1 victory over Lecce, while Juventus secured a narrow 1-0 win away at Udinese to keep pace with the leaders.
The combined results from Matchday 29 have tightened the battle at both ends of the table. The title race remains fiercely competitive, with Inter's draw opening the door slightly for their nearest rivals. In the race for European places, Lazio's win over Milan could prove pivotal, while Como's survival hopes received a massive boost from their comeback victory over Roma.
With nine rounds of fixtures still remaining this season, every point is proving crucial. The next round of Serie A matches will take place after the international break, giving coaches time to regroup and assess their squads ahead of what promises to be a thrilling run to the finish line in one of Europe's most competitive leagues.
