The 18th round of the Italian league continues today (Saturday) and already in the first game of the three we got a fascinating top fight. The one who came out of it with her hand on the top is Roma who with a big 1: 4 at the expense of Atlanta in Bergamo scored 3 important points. Later, Juventus returned to the winning track and with 0: 2 defeated Bologna.
Atlanta – Rome 4: 1
It was not long before the ball rolled into the host net. Whoever did it, was Tammi Avraham who already in the first minute elegantly bounced the first. In the 27th minute Niccolò Zeniolo received the ball in the box and sent the second into the net. Luis Muriel (45 + 1) further gave hope to Atalanta towards the second half, and Duban Safta thought he equalized in the 67th minute, but his goal was disallowed by the VAR.
Anyway, from then on the Wolves went on their own as Chris Smalling sent a great kick from an extension on the way to third in the 72nd minute and Abraham (82) got the second to his credit with a sharp corner kick. Now, Roma have risen at least temporarily to fifth place with 31 points, while Atalanta (37 points) have now allowed Milan to open a gap on them, as well as Napoli to pass them in the battle for third place.
Bologna – Juventus 2: 0
After being stopped against Venice, the old lady achieved a third victory in her last four games and she clung to fifth-placed Roma, 5 points less than the place leading to the Champions League next season. Albero Murata opened the scoring in the sixth minute from a foul by Federico Bernardeschi and celebrated his fifth goal of the season in Serie A. Juan Cuadrado (69) with a beautiful kick from the edge of the box closed the interest of Bernato Delara. Bologna are stuck in the middle of the table after suffering their third loss in a row. By the way, it was Juventus’ 11th consecutive victory over Bologna with 24 points left and could lose tenth place according to the rest of the results later in the round.
Cagliari – Udinese 4: 0
Gene Victor Manongo (4) and Gerard Deulofeu (45) gave Udinese an early lead. Procedure Molina (50) scored the third and then Razwan Martin Macliari was sent off in the second yellow. The host then had no chance, and she saw Deulofeu (69) complete a double. Cagliari finished 19th in the league and lost 4-0 for the second time in a row, while Udinese finished 14th.
