There were seven matches played in the Italian championship today.
In the second place club "Roma" traveled to face Bergamo "Atalanta". Luciano Spalletti's players faced a serious challenge here.
Although Diego Perrotti scored from the penalty spot at the end of the first half to put "giallorossi" ahead, the opponents managed to equalize the score. The author of this goal after Manolo's Costa mistake was Mattia Caldara, and at the end of the match, Franck Kessie also managed to convert a penalty kick.
So, "Roma's" loss means that their eternal rival "Lazio" will close in on the second position. The capital's team won at home against the "Genoa" team.
The hosts opened the scoring with a great shot from outside the box by Felipe Anderson, and shortly after Lucas Ocampos' equalizer, Lucas Biglia calmed the home crowd by converting a penalty kick. Later on, Wallace secured the victory for "Lazio".
The last match of the round was the Milan derby, where dangerous attacks and goals were not in short supply.
Suso scored first in the game, but early in the second half, Antonio Candreva equalized from outside the box.
Then, five minutes after the Italian's strike, Suso deceived the opponents and scored again, but at the end of the match, Ivan Perisic extended the "nerazzurri" team's point.
"Inter" remained in ninth place after the draw, and "Milan" missed the opportunity to rise to second.
