The Italian champions were unable to score against G. Pagliuca's goal, with the only goal of the match scored by "Bologna" goalkeeper T. Locatelli. "Juve" took advantage of their opponent's defeat, defeating the bottom team "Atalanta" away and increasing their lead over "Milan" to 8 points.
"Inter" from Milan, who have been inconsistent in their performances, climbed to third place after winning against "Palermo" thanks to C. Vieri's two goals in Sicily. Dropping down to fourth place was "Udinese", who suffered their third consecutive loss against "Parma".
"Roma" found themselves in fifth place, managing to recover from a two-goal deficit against "Messina" and securing a victory with three goals in the second half. The other team from the city, "Lazio", performed worse - initially leading against "Reggina", but later conceding two goals, including one in the last moments of the match, continuing their streak of failures.
