On the evening of the 26th round of the Italian championship started and two matches were played. In the earlier match, Genoa's "Sampdoria" fighting for a place in the UEFA Champions League met with "Cagliari" fighting for survival. As expected, the victory was celebrated by Siniša Mihajlović's pupils playing at home. Standouts included Lorenzo De Silvestri and veteran Samuel Eto'o, who arrived at the club this winter. The later match took place at the "San Siro" stadium, where the local "Milan" squared off with Verona's "Hellas". In the first match, the guests took the lead after Luca Toni converted a penalty, but before half time Jeremy Menez also scored from the penalty spot, and in the second half, Panagiotis Tachtsidis scored an own goal to reverse the result in favor of the hosts. The players from the "Fashion Capital" controlled the ball longer and it seemed to the fans that they would finally see their supported team win, but in the last moments of the match, Nicolas Lopez equalized. Before the match, it was announced in the press that a victory was necessary for "rossoneri" strategist Filippo Inzaghi in this match, as otherwise the former attacker of the team faces dismissal. The coach's situation should be clarified in the coming days.
