GENOA, Italy (AP) — A second-half goal from Luis Alberto gave Lazio a 1-0 win at Genoa on Friday and moved the capital club into sixth spot in Serie A and within touching distance of a Champions League spot.
The result snapped Genoa’s four-game unbeaten run and was another good result for a visitor which has won four of its last five league games.
Lazio was one place and one point ahead of Atalanta, which has two games in hand.
The top five teams in Serie A are guaranteed a place in next year’s expanded 36-team Champions League. Sixth spot could be enough if Roma or Atalanta win the Europa League.
Genoa remained in 10th place.
