Circo Immobile and Luis Alberto were on target for Lazio while Frank Ribery scored for Fiorentina.

Frank Ribery gave visitors the lead in the 25th minute with a magnificent solo effort. Ciro Immobile, who is leading the Serie A goal-scoring chart, converted a penalty in the 67th for his 28th of the season after Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski fouled Felipe Caicedo. Luis Alberto struck seven minutes before the regulation time to give Lazio the full points. Fiorentina forward Dusan Vlahovic was sent off in stoppage time for an off-the-ball incident and Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi was also dismissed moments later.
