Today in the Italian championship, two 12th round matches were played. The leader of the competition, the "Juventus" club, crushed the "Roma" team away, while "Udinese" snatched a victory against "Messina" right at the end of the match. Although before the match, "Juventus" striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said that playing against "Roma" would not be any harder than against the league debutant "Ascoli," which sounded unrealistic, he was partially right - the capital team lost at home to the Turin team by a humiliating score of 1-4. The match started without A. Cassano for "Roma," who did not play due to disagreements over a new contract signing, while C. Chivu did not play due to disqualification. During the warm-up, A. Mancini got injured and was soon substituted, not starting the match either. The visitors had to play without G. Buffon, A. Birindelli, M. Zalayeta, R. Oliveira, and J. Zebina. The first goal just before half-time was scored by the "Juventus" defender P. Nedved, gradually finding his form again, while nine minutes into the second half, the Swede Z. Ibrahimovic added the second goal, elegantly dribbling past the opponent and sending the ball into the net with a powerful shot. The hosts were shocked, and within the following five minutes, the visitors scored two more goals. D. Trezeguet scored twice, first with a header, and then receiving the ball passed by Z. Ibrahimovic and redirecting it into the net from close range - the score became 4-0 in favor of "Juventus." However, two minutes later, the home team managed to reduce the deficit when Turin club defender L. Thuram committed a foul in the box, and the "Roma" team captain F. Totti converted the penalty. Nevertheless, the capital team could not do anything more after this goal, and the players of the capital team left the field with their heads down at the end of the match. In the other Saturday match, "Udinese" defeated the "Messina" team by a score of 1-0 at home. In the first half, due to the excellent organization of the visitors' defense, "Udinese" did not have many opportunities to score, so the scoreboard showed two zeros after the first half. In the second half, "Udinese" found more gaps in the visitors' defense, but they only managed to score a goal three minutes before the end of the match - after a corner kick, defender Felipe managed to score with a header and secure important three points for the hosts. Saturday match results: 1 - 0 87` [1 - 0] Felipe 1 - 4 45` [0 - 1] Pavel Nedved 56` [0 - 2] Zlatan Ibrahimovic 58` [0 - 3] David Trezeguet 61` [0 - 4] David Trezeguet 64` [1 - 4] Francesco Totti (penalty) 63` Lillian Thuram ("Juventus") sent off
