Play another seven matches in the 18th round of the Italian championship. In the first of them, the footballers of Rome's Lazio fought at home with Crotone. After a few unsuccessful matches, the capital's team finally managed to fight for three points. However, the victory did not seem so obvious for most of the match. Success turned away from Simone Inzaghi's players when Marco Parolo failed to take advantage of a great opportunity in the 42nd minute. However, in the second half, Jordan Lukaku managed to score after a pass from Ciro Immobile, making the game much easier. In the 78th minute, the hosts increased their lead with a goal from Immobile, and after substitutions, Senad Lulic and Felipe Anderson made the score even more convincing. A little later, the team striving for the "Scudetto" stepped onto the field. Their fortunes were different. The leading team in the tournament table, Napoli players, after a tough battle in front of their own fans, managed to defeat the footballers of Sampdoria, who were leading twice. The guests were already ahead in the second minute with a penalty kick by Gaston Ramirez, but shortly after the start of the game, Allan equalized. After the Brazilian's goal, Fabio Quagliarella of Sampdoria converted a penalty kick, but their lead did not last long. Lorenzo Insigne equalized shortly after, and soon after a precise pass from Dries Mertens, Marek Hamsik scored. Later it became clear that the outcome of this match was already decided in the first half, as the score did not change after the break. Napoli also received good news at Sassuolo's stadium, where the Milan Inter players suffered their second consecutive defeat. They not only missed several great opportunities but also their captain, Mauro Icardi, failed to score from the penalty spot. Diego Falcinelli became the only scorer of the match in the 34th minute. In the penultimate match of the day, Milan immediately dropped to the second part of the tournament table, losing to Atalanta from Bergamo. The Rossoneri missed numerous chances during the match, while the opposition's finishing was significantly better. Bryan Cristante put them ahead in the 32nd minute, and Josip Ilicic sealed the victory in the second half.
