Seven Italian championship matches were played.
The victory was achieved by the visiting "Roma" team, which is currently in second place, against "Udinese". In this match, Radja Nainggolan scored three points for "Giallorossi" in the 12th minute, when he managed to score after a pass from Kevin Strootman.
Another team from the capital, "Lazio", defeated the strong Bergamo team "Atalanta" at home. Simone Inzaghi's team initially fell behind after Andrea Petagno's goal, but they restored balance at the end of the first half with a goal from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
In the second half of the match, Ciro Immobile scored from the penalty spot, helping Roma players to maintain just a one-point deficit from "Napoli".
The Southern Italian team easily defeated "Pescara" at home. The winning goals in the second half were scored by Lorenzo Tonelli, Marek Hamsik, and Dries Mertens.
In the evening matches, a somewhat unexpected result was recorded. Florence's "Fiorentina" beat the league leader Turin's "Juventus" thanks to goals from Nikola Kalinic and Milan Badelj. Gonzalo Higuain's goal was not enough to equalize for the "bianconeri".
