It must be a very disappointing time for the Napoli supporters mostly because of the very high expectations that the mass media put on them rather than the real situation. The Campani are still playing very well and doing a 0-0 away against Inter is not THAT bad. Considering the match the Sarri's team did a good performance but badly missed couple of chances with Insigne who shot over the bar in both occasions. A good point to build on for Spalletti's Inter. This result put the Juventus in front of everyone once AGAIN after their 2-0 victory against Udinese. Paulo Dybala did what he's very good at doing: a great first class free kick who gave the 1-0 lead at 20'. Gonzalo Higuain missed a penalty kick that could have closed the match earlier but in the second half it was again la Joya who greatly assisted by El Pipita scored again (49').

After an awful first half dominated by Torino - which wasn't good enough to score a goal especially thanks to a great Alisson - the Di Francesco's Roma put up a solid second half which brought them to get away with a 3-0 victory. All started by a Manolas' header (56') followed by a nice first touch shot by De Rossi (74'). Some glory even for the De Rossi of the future Pellegrini who was able to score the only occasion he could get in 10 minutes (90'+4'). Mazzarri is definitely not giving what the Torino supporters was expecting from him after a promising start.

Important 1-0 win for Verona in the city derby against Chievo. A very balanced match decided by a Caracciolo's goal at 52'. In a surreal atmosphere where the whole stadium did a great coreography and minutes of silence included during the match at the minute 13th (Number of Davide Astori) the match between Fiorentina and Benevento was played with a fair enough intensity considering the situation. Casuality the match winner for the final 1-0 was Victor Hugo which was the player who actually got the place of  Davide on the pitch and scored a fantastic header at 25'. Really looked like someone from the sky brought him up to score a goal like that. We will miss you Davide. Emergency situation for Benevento instead which appears to have no more chances to play the Italian Serie A again. It's too late to avoid  the relegation but until the maths doesn't say it the team must believe in the miracle.

Just like a bunch of pirates the GoAtalantaGo and Gasperini got 3 points away against Bologna. Papu Gomez missed few incredible chances and when he left the pitch substituted by Ilicic the match changed a bit and the new comer gave a nice assist to De Roon (83') who shot on target giving 3 amazing points to Atalanta. Bologna played a nice match and probably deserved to draw.

Incredible 2-2 between Cagliari and Lazio. Simone Inzaghi had very angry words about the referees judgement and the VAR for some very dubious situations. But let's focus on the match. Lucky Cagliari got the lead with a ball bouncing on Pavoletti at 25'. Only 10 minutes after and Ceppitelli (own goal) pushed the ball in his own net trying to save a sure goal by Lulic anyway. At 74'after couple of minutes checking the VAR the referee gave a penalty which was scored by Barella (Inzaghi was angry about other situations in the match in which the referee didn't even go to check the VAR). The equalizer was an absolute gem by Ciro Immobile at 90'+5'!!! Cross by Felipe Anderson and  incredible back heel lob in pure Roberto Mancini style for the final 2-2! What a goal by Ciro ! 

They sometimes Sampdoria forget to be Sampdoria and the match away against Crotone is the proof of it. Rather surprising 4-1 for the Walter Zenga's players. Two goals by Trotta (6' and 38') and Stoian (23') already closed the match in the first half. Some Doria pride came out of Zapata(69') who scored  the 3-1 but the 4-1 came at 85' with an own goal by the goalkeeper Viviano.

Sassuolo-Spal finished 1-1 a fair enough result between two teams that really needed points in order to avoid the relegation. The home team has the regret of missing a penalty with Politano. Before that occasion Babacar scored the first penalty given to his team at 31'. The lead was got by the Ferraresi at 27' thanks to the bomber Antenucci. The rest of the match was very aggressive and intense so 1 points each was the right prize.

We finish talking about the incredible 0-1 victory of Milan in the away clash against Genoa. The match winner was the long waited Andre Silva who greatly put it with a header a nice cross by Suso. Rino Gattuso can start dreaming of a Champions League spot maybe ? We will see! still 10 matches to go and 30 points to grab! Everything can still happen!
