On Sunday in the Italian championship, the 18th round matches took place. The "Juventus" club restored their leader position by achieving a four-point advantage, while "Inter" won a fantastic victory in the last six minutes.
"Juve" had a hard time defeating Tom Danilevicius' "Livorno" at home, and with 43 points, they have a four-point advantage over the second-placed "Milan", who failed to beat the "Palermo" team in Sicily - the match ended goalless.
However, the best performance of the day was delivered by Milano's "Inter", who managed to overturn a two-goal deficit in the last six minutes (including four in extra time) and defeat "Sampdoria" with a score of 3-2.
The same result of a win was recorded for the visitors in Florence, where "Lazio" players, trailing behind the "Fiorentina" team by one goal, later scored three and conceded one, securing their second consecutive victory under the guidance of the new coach.
"Udinese" continues to hold the third position, this time defeating "Cagliari", while "Roma", after recovering from a setback in the derby, climbed to the sixth position by winning at home against the underdog "Atalanta" team.
"Messina" and "Bologna" both secured home wins with a two-goal difference, defeating "Brescia" and "Chievo" teams respectively. "Parma" team achieved only their third victory of the season, winning with a minimal margin against "Siena", while the match between "Lecce" and "Reggina" ended in a draw.
