No Soccer odds available.AS Roma’s resurgence under Ranieri continued with Fiorentina shocking Juventus as the race for European places heats up. We take a look at the major talking points of Round 29 in Italian top flight football.
Napoli misses chance to put pressure on Inter with draw
Napoli missed the chance to go top of Serie A (before Inter Milan played) as Antonio Conte’s side were held to a goalless draw by struggling Venezia.
The 2023 champions had 15 shots on goal but were frustrated by an excellent performance from home goalkeeper Ionut Radu, whose seven saves earned his second-bottom side a valuable point. Venezia also had a chance to steal a winner late in added time but were unable to cap off a sweeping counter-attack with a goal.
Napoli have drawn five of their last seven league games, and coupled with Inter’s win, they are now four points below the leaders.
Bologna thrash Lazio as Roma wins as race for Europe heats up
Bologna thrashed Lazio 5-0 to climb above the Rome side and move into the top four. Two goals in 94 seconds just after the break were decisive as Riccardo Orsolini and Dan Ndoye put the game beyond Lazio.
Claudio Ranieri’s Roma remain in the hunt for a European place as they beat Cagliari 1-0 with Ukraine forward Artem Dovbyk scoring the only goal.
Inter Milan goes four clear at the top
In an ill-tempered match that saw two red cards, Inter Milan beat title rivals Atalanta 2-0 on Sunday to extend their lead at the top of Serie A.
Midfielder Carlos Augusto opened the scoring early in the second half by heading home Hakan Calhanoglu’s corner. Things went from bad to worse for Atalanta when they were reduced to 10 men in the 81st minute when Ederson received two yellow cards in the space of a few seconds for dissent towards the referee. Inter took full advantage of their extra man and doubled their lead six minutes later when Lautaro Martinez powered a shot into the far corner.
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini was sent off for dissent before Inter had Alessandro Bastoni dismissed for a second bookable offence in stoppage time.
With the results, Atalanta remain third in the table but are now six points behind Inter.
