Today, seven matches of the 19th round of the Italian championship were played.
In the first of them, Milan's "Inter" players defeated "Udinese" as guests. However, although the eleven from the "fashion capital" was considered the favorite, they had to struggle.
The hosts broke forward already in the 17th minute, when Jakub Jankto scored after a great pass from Samir. Nevertheless, "nerazzurri" restored balance thanks to Ivan Perišić at the end of the first half.
As the match was coming to an end, the hero of all matches was the same Perišić, scoring his second goal with a header after a pass from Joao Mario. Therefore, "Inter" earned three points and at least temporarily rose to fifth place.
The capital teams also celebrated victories. Rome's "Lazio" risked playing in a draw with "Crotone" after Lucas Biglia's penalty kick was missed, but Simone Inzaghi's soldiers expanded their lead with Ciro Immobile in the final minutes.
Meanwhile, the "Roma" team away after a fierce battle defeated "Genoa," where the only goal of the match came from Genoa's player Armando Izzo.
"Milan" also expanded their lead in the last minutes. "Rossoneri" finally managed to break through Cagliari's defense with Carlos Bacca.
In the last evening matches, Turin's "Juventus" had no trouble with "Bologna." Gonzalo Higuain's double and Paulo Dybala's goal determined the victory of the Italian champions with a score of 3-0.
