Romano Floriani Mussolini, the 23-year-old great-grandson of Benito Mussolini, scored his first goal for Lazio during a 6-2 Serie A victory over Sassuolo on Tuesday. The defender, a product of the club's youth academy, initially had his goal disallowed for offside before a video review confirmed the strike. This victory keeps Lazio unbeaten this season and moves the team provisionally to the top of the league table with 25 points from nine matches. The match also saw a red card for Sassuolo's Kristian Thorstvedt and two missed penalties by Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni. Romano Floriani Mussolini has publicly stated he holds no interest in pursuing a career in politics.
Why it matters
The result cements Lazio's position as a serious contender for the Serie A title this season, while the goal marks a significant career milestone for the young defender.
