On this evening, there were supposed to be four matches of the sixteenth round of the Italian championship. However, due to dense fog, the match between "Sassuolo" and "Torino" was postponed.
In the earliest confrontation, the "Serie A" newcomer "Bologna" defeated the "Genoa" team as guests. Victory and climbing to the middle of the tournament table was guaranteed by a late goal from Luca Rossettini.
In other matches, the winners were very productive. The struggling "Palermo" players scored four goals at home against "Frosinone" and at least temporarily climbed to the fourteenth position.
The evening showdown between "Udinese" and Milan's "Inter" garnered the most attention from fans. The "Nerazzurri" had no mercy for Udinese.
Roberto Mancini's proteges took the lead in the 23rd minute when Mauro Icardi scored. Shortly after, Stevan Jovetic found the net and it was clear that the "fashion capital" club did not come to the opponents' stadium to leave the leadership position.
At the end of the match, Mauro Icardi scored another accurate goal, and immediately after him, substitute Marcelo Brozovic also found the net. It became clear that the Udinese team is in trouble, as the "Inter" players further strengthened their positions at the top of the tournament table.
