Sunday's battle in the Italian championship started with the Turin derby. Here, "Napoli", breathing down the neck of "Juventus", secured yet another victory. True, it was not easy for Massimiliano Allegri's pupils as the opponents' goalkeeper Joel Obi created a dangerous chance in the eighth minute. Nevertheless, despite the home team's efforts, the only goal of the match was scored by Alex Sandro after a brilliant pass from Federico Bernardeschi. The same Bernardeschi also created another chance for Paulo Dybala, whose shot missed the target, but overall there was not much action in the game, which ended with a 1-0 scoreline. Later, "Napoli" prevented their main competitors from grabbing the leader's position and secured three more points. The club from southern Italy triumphed at home against "SPAL 2013" in a tough battle. The hosts dominated in terms of ball control, and shortly after Lorenzo Insigne's shot hit the post, Allan put them ahead. At that moment, it seemed that the newcomers of "Serie A" were heading towards defeat. However, before the break, "Napoli" did not create more dangerous opportunities. In the second half, things did not go well for them either, as the only goal was disallowed after video review, and other attempts to score also ended in vain. Nevertheless, "Napoli" still won with a 1-0 scoreline. In another stadium, "Sassuolo" failed to resist against "Bologna", who extended their lead with Erick Pulgar's goal in the dying moments. Meanwhile, the bottom-placed "Benevento" achieved their third victory, with Cheick Diabate scoring a decisive goal in the 89th minute. In the penultimate match of the evening, "Atalanta" and Fiorentina played out a draw. It was expected that Gian Piero Gasperini's team playing at home would secure a victory, but "Viola" took the lead through Milan Badelj's goal in the 16th minute. "Andrea Petagna equalized for "Atalanta" just before half-time. However, after the break, not even a late red card to Nikola Milenkovic could change the scoreline. Finally, in the last clash at the "San Siro" stadium, "Milan" hosted Genoa's "Sampdoria" players. The home team had a great opportunity to take the lead in the seventh minute, but goalkeeper Ricardo Rodriguez saved the penalty shot. Nevertheless, soon after, the "rossoneri" managed to score, with Giacomo Bonaventura finishing Davide Calabria's pass with a great shot. Despite several dangerous attacks by Hakan Calhanoglu, the fans did not see more goals, and the match ended with a 1-0 scoreline. This means that "Milan", after this victory, now has the same number of points as the seventh-placed "Sampdoria" team.
