On Sunday, seven "Serie A" matches were played. The first main competitors' slips were taken advantage of by the "Roma" club. Yesterday both Milan's "Inter" and Genoa's "Sampdoria" played in a draw, but the capital's footballers took home a victory from Verona. They defeated the "Hellas" footballers already in the first attack when Cengiz Under disarmed the goalkeeper with a great shot. Later, Edin Dzeko had several opportunities to score as well, but the Turk's goal in this match was the only one. Interestingly, Eusebio Di Francesco's pupils had serious problems in the second half when Lorenzo Pellegrini earned a red card for a foul on Matos. Nevertheless, this did not change the outcome of the match. After this victory, "Roma" is just one point behind the "Inter" club, so the fight for places in the UEFA Champions League continues. In one of the later matches, the defending champion Turin's "Juventus" had an impressive performance. The team broke through against "Sassuolo" in just the ninth minute and ultimately crushed their opponents. "Juventus" took the lead with Alex Sandro, and Sami Khedira scored twice in the first half. It was already clear then, but before halftime, Miralem Pjanic added a distant shot goal. The second half belonged to the main "Juve" sniper Gonzalo Higuain. At first, he converted a pass from Federico Bernardeschi into a 5-0 score, and later scored again after an individual run. In the 84th minute, the Argentine was already celebrating a hat-trick. Therefore, Massimiliano Allegri's team is already celebrating a 7-0 victory. Meanwhile, the "Milan" team once again remained without a victory, despite leading against the "Udinese" footballers. This happened after Suso's long-range shot in the ninth minute. However, defender Davide Calabria managed to earn a second yellow card in the second half, and without him, the remaining "fashion capital" footballers eventually allowed the result to equalize. Losing two points means that Verona's "Chievo" moved up to seventh place by defeating Bergamo's "Atalanta." In the late evening, the table leader "Napoli" met the last-placed "Benevento." Here, as expected, Maurizio Sarri's team celebrated victory. Although the opponents tried to resist, the South Italian team created significantly more dangerous opportunities and took the lead already in the 20th minute when Dries Mertens scored. At the beginning of the second half, Callejon added another goal, which was enough for a confident victory. It was the 19th victory for the "Napoli" team, which helped them maintain a minimal advantage over "Juventus".
