LAZIO joined Napoli in second place in Serie A with a 1-0 win over Sampdoria on Sunday following a late winner from substitute Libor Kozak.
The 21-year-old Czech forward headed in from the edge of the box in the 84th minute to break a deadlock at the Stadio Olimpico, then ripped his shirt off to celebrate, drawing a yellow card.
After a dull first half, Italy forward Giampaolo Pazzini threatened for Sampdoria in the 51st, wasting a good look with a shot high, and Kozak scored seven minutes after coming on.
AS Roma also got a late winner, with Fabio Simplicio directing the ball in off defender Max Pellegrino in the 89th for a 1-0 win at Cesena after Marco Borriello hit the crossbar and Adriano couldn't pound in the rebound.
On a day when all of the top clubs appeared headed for draws until the final minutes, injury-plagued Juventus pulled out a 2-1 win over last-place Bari with a late winner from Alberto Aquilani.
Alessandro Del Piero curved in a freekick over Cesena's wall to put Juventus ahead in the 43rd. After Hungary forward Gergely Rudolf equalized in the 57th, Aquilani restored the lead with a powerful, bouncing shot from the edge of the area in the 79th.
While Juventus beat Catania 2-0 in the Italian Cup on Thursday, this was the Turin club's first win in Serie A since beating Lazio 2-1 on December 12. It was also goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon's first Serie A match since injuring his back at the World Cup.
AC Milan conceded a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw at Lecce. Milan leads with 41 points. Lazio and Napoli are next with 37 each.
