On Wednesday, the 22nd round matches were played in the Italian championship. The advantage between the two leading teams in the league continues to fluctuate - last week "Juve" increased their lead over "Milan" to eight points, but now the difference has shrunk to five.
"Juventus" unexpectedly lost at home to the recently performing well "Sampdoria" team, with A.Diana scoring the winning goal for the visitors. Defending champions "Milan" fared much better, defeating "Messina" 4-1 away.
Inter Milan, trailing their city rivals by seven points, narrowly defeated "Atalanta" to secure their eighth win of the season. "Udinese" maintained the fourth position by easily defeating "Chievo" at home.
This time, unlike before, Rome's clubs had similar results - "Lazio" failed to break down "Brescia" at home, while "Roma" could not beat "Lecce" who played with ten men for 20 minutes.
The matches between "Livorno" and "Reggina", as well as "Siena" and "Cagliari", also ended in draws.
