ROME – Lazio remained firmly in the race for a Champions League place after a 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Empoli in Serie A on Thursday.

Felipe Caicedo scored the only goal of the match, converting a penalty three minutes before halftime after he had been tripped by Empoli goalkeeper Ivan Provedel.

Simone Inzaghi’s side moved into fourth place, two points ahead of AC Milan and three above Atalanta and Roma, who all have a game in hand.
