On late Wednesday evening, the Italian "Serie A" championship leader, Turin's "Juventus" club, lost points in a painful way in the 36th round of matches on the tournament table. Still undefeated, Antonio Conte's players from Juventus drew 1-1 with "Lecce", who are fighting for survival in the country's top league. The "Old Lady" led until the 84th minute of the match against their reduced opposition, but then Gianluigi Buffon made a costly mistake - allowing Andrea Bertolacci to take the ball from the experienced goalkeeper and send it into the hosts' net. Taking advantage of Juventus' stumble, "Milan" revived their championship hopes by defeating Bergamo's "Atalanta" 2-0 at home. With two rounds left until the end of the championship, Milan trails the leaders by just one point, but they face a tough derby against "Inter" and a match at the San Siro stadium against "Novara". Meanwhile, Juventus will play away against "Cagliari" and host "Atalanta". In the battle for the coveted third position, which guarantees a ticket to next year's UEFA Champions League tournament, "Udinese" secured an important victory by beating absolute league underdog, "Cesena", 1-0 on the road. Milan's "Inter" and Rome's "Lazio" had a tougher time - the fashion capital's team lost 3-1 away to "Parma", while the "Eagles" at home shared points with "Siena" without the injured Marius Stankevicius - 1-1. Results: - "Milan" 2 - 0 Bergamo "Atalanta" - "Catania" 0 - 1 "Bologna" - "Cesena" 0 - 1 "Udinese" - "Fiorentina" 2 - 2 "Novara" - "Genoa" 2 - 1 "Cagliari" - Turin's "Juventus" 1 - 1 "Lecce" - Rome's "Lazio" 1 - 1 "Siena" - "Parma" 3 - 1 Milan's "Inter"
