The runners-up from last season now sit in 15th place in the table after their first five league games with one victory, one draw, and three losses. Inter Milan, who host Empoli on Sunday, and second-placed AC Milan, who defeated Hellas Verona 1-0, are all eight points ahead of Maurizio Sarri's team. After 12 minutes, Immobile converted a penalty for Lazio after Patrick Ciurria of Monza had fouled Mattia Zaccagni.
Nine minutes before halftime, an unmarked Gagliardini levelled for the visitors by tapping in a cross from close range that got through the Lazio defenders. Around the hour mark, Immobile almost added a second goal, but his close-range shot struck the far post and rebounded out. As the players entered the locker rooms following the game, the home crowd booed loudly in displeasure. 13th in the standings is Monza.
