Round 13: "Roma" Ends Losing Streak © EuroFootball.com

Over the weekend, matchday 13 of the Italian "Serie A" championship took place. After a series of setbacks, the vice-champion club "Roma" recovered, crushing the "Siena" team with a four-goal lead away.

At least temporarily reducing the gap from the leader "Juventus," the defending champions "Milan" fought for a difficult victory against "Chievo," with the Argentine H.Crespo scoring the only goal, his fourth accurate strike this week. By the way, this Sunday evening, "Juve" could restore the lead if they beat the "Inter" club in the so-called Italian derby.

In third place, the team "Udinese" firmly established themselves, winning away for the fifth consecutive time - this time, they defeated Tomo Danilevičius' "Livorno". Unexpectedly, "Cagliari" jumped to fourth place thanks to a legendary G.Zola goal, defeating crisis-ridden "Lazio".

In fifth place in the championship is "Palermo," achieving their first away win of the season against "Brescia" with Marius Stankevičius. "Messina," another Sicilian club, also has the same points as "Palermo" after playing a draw with "Fiorentina." The match between "Bologna" and "Lecce" also ended in a draw.

The absolute tournament underdog "Atalanta" club suffered their seventh loss, falling at home to the "Reggina" team. Meanwhile, "Parma" suffered a painful defeat after conceding a penalty kick in the 11th meter at the end of the match and had to admit the minimal advantage of "Sampdoria".
