Today, all ten matches of the 32nd round of the Italian championship were played, and the first one, watched by 75 thousand spectators, delighted with a great battle between the Milan clubs.
Gerard Deulofeu had a great chance to score in these matches as early as the second minute, but his attempt was saved by goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.
Although the action slowed down as the match progressed, the clash between the main rivals did not become less interesting, and after playing for just over half an hour, the first goal could be seen. "Inter" players were brought forward after a long pass from Roberto Gagliardini by Antonio Candreva.
Before the break, Mauro Icardi played well with Ivan Perisic and scored the second goal for "Nerazzurri", so they went into halftime with a solid lead.
However, Vincenzo Montella's players did not give up and kept trying to equalize. Finally, after a pass from Suso, center-back Alessio Romagnoli managed to score and "Rossoneri" returned to the fight.
This happened in the 83rd minute, so Milan players did not have much time to equalize the result. Fortunately, the referee added another five minutes and allowed playing even longer, and after taking the initiative, "Rossoneri" ultimately expanded their lead in the final moments. The crucial moment was a corner kick lifted by Suso, after which Carlos Bacca headed the ball to defender Cristian Zapata.
After this result, "Milan" continues to lead their main rivals by one point and occupies seventh place in the standings.
Later, Turin's "Juventus" further strengthened their advantage over "Roma" with an away victory over "Pescara". Outsiders forced Massimiliano Allegri's players to work much harder than expected, but everything was settled in the first half with a Gonzalo Higuain brace.
Meanwhile, "Roma" dropped points at home against Bergamo's "Atalanta" club and complicated their situation in the fight for the "Scudetto". Overall, despite "Giallorossi" dominating statistically, they had to settle for a draw as their opponents scored first after Jasmin Kurtic's goal. Edin Dzeko equalized for the capital team.
After these two matches, "Juventus" increased their advantage over "Roma" to eight points. "Atalanta" on the other hand continues to trail behind "Lazio", who leveled against "Genoa".
Finally, in the evening clash, "Napoli" crushed "Udinese" players after the break. After a slow start to the match, the Southern Italian club took the lead in the beginning of the second half with a goal from Dries Mertens after a pass from Jorginho, then Alan scored, and Jose Callejon scored the final goal in the duel.
With three points in hand, Maurizio Sarri's players also took advantage of "Roma's" slip and edged closer to the second position.
