On Sunday, seven matches were played in the Italian "Serie A" championship.
The leader of the "Milan" club maintains a four-point advantage over the closest pursuers, easily defeating "Cesena" 2-0 at home.
Maximiliano Pellegrino scored an own goal at the end of the first half, and just before the final whistle, Zlatan Ibrahimovic doubled the lead in extra time.
The efforts of the visitors to change the outcome of the match were in vain - the team remains among the three bottom teams.
The second-placed team, "Napoli," did not allow too much of a gap to the leader, also winning 2-0 against "Bari."
