Although yesterday Turin's "Juventus" secured the title of the winner of the Italian championship, the battle for the "Serie A" is far from over. The race for second place among Rome's clubs is especially intense.
Today, "Roma" football players, after defeating "Genoa" at home, once again rose to a position that guarantees them silver medals. Although the opponents controlled the ball for longer, Rudi Garcia's players were the only ones who managed to send it into the net. Seydou Doumbia and Alessandro Florenzi scored for "giallorossi."
Meanwhile, the "Lazio" team played to a 1-1 draw away against Atalanta in Bergamo, who currently occupies the eighteenth place, and now the other capital team is one point behind. Giuseppe Biava initially put the hosts in the lead, but "Lazio" managed to equalize the score. Marco Parolo scored the equalizing goal. However, the Rome club did not manage to score another precise strike.
In another match, the struggling team of Florence's "Fiorentina" showed signs of recovery, defeating "Cesena" 3-1 at home. Josip Iličič scored a brace for the "Viola," and Alberto Gilardino added another goal. Vincenzo Montella's squad regained the fifth position.
In the last match between "Napoli" and "Milan," three goals were scored within a seven-minute interval. The visitors from the "fashion capital" of Milan were left with ten men early in the match when defender Mattia De Sciglio received a red card. However, Gonzalo Higuain then missed a penalty, and the "Rossoneri" managed to hold on for over an hour with ten men.
However, the "Milan" defense eventually collapsed, and the hosts opened the scoring in the 70th minute with a goal from Marek Hamšik. Shortly after, Higuain and Manolo Gabbiadini also scored, and Rafa Benitez's players rightfully took three points, moving closer to the third position in the Italian championship. Meanwhile, Filippo Inzaghi's side dropped to eleventh place.
