Impressive Turin "Juventus" unbeaten streak came to an end - after 26 matches, with only one draw, the "bianconeri" suffered an away defeat to the absolute underdog Verona's "Hellas".
Although the visitors did not field their strongest lineup, this defeat is still unexpected. However, it does not affect any of the clubs as their positions in the tournament standings are already significantly different.
It is worth mentioning that in this match, the last in his career, "Hellas" striker Luca Toni scored a goal. He successfully converted a penalty kick in the first half.
The silver medal contenders "Roma" and "Napoli" secured victories. The capital's team crushed Verona's "Chievo" in front of their own fans.
Luciano Spalletti's players temporarily celebrated the second place until the evening, but their opponents from Southern Italy later regained a two-point lead.
Napoli's duo Gonzalo Higuain and Jose Callejon secured an away victory against "Torino."
The fate of the silver medals will be decided in the last round. The club that wins them will also secure a direct ticket to the UEFA Champions League.
