Time.news – The second big match of the day between Napoli and Inter ends in a draw, which at the Maradona Stadium does not go beyond a 1-1. Handanovic’s own goal is answered by Eriksen’s goal: the streak of consecutive victories of Conte’s team stops at 11, which is seen nibbling 2 points by Milan (-9); Gattuso’s men, on the other hand, are unable to reach fourth place for Juventus.
A lot of balance in the first part of the match, stingy with great emotions and scoring opportunities. The first real potential chance happens in the 27th minute on Darmian’s feet, too altruistic in wanting to serve a teammate rather than kicking from an excellent position. A couple of minutes later Lukaku hits a crossbar, then in the 36th minute the Neapolitans break the deadlock: Insigne crosses from the left, de Vrij lands on Handanovic who involuntarily lets the ball slip into his own goal, scoring an awkward own goal.
Inter immediately tried to react before the interval (another wood from Lukaku), but it was in the second half that equalized the score with Eriksen’s goal, good at piercing Meret with a big left from the edge. With the passing of the minutes the game enters a stalemate and only at the end it reignites, first with the powerful right of Politano saved from the crossbar, then with a penalty kick first assigned to Napoli and subsequently revoked with the help of the Var Before the triple whistle little else happens, it ends 1-1 between Napoli and Inter.
Atalanta Juventus 1-0
Atalanta mocked Juventus in the 84th minute by hitting 3 very important points for the Champions League race. A deflected torpedo from Malinovskyi decides, which allows Gasperini’s team to overcome Pirlo’s team and take third place in the standings. The game at the Gewiss Stadium is very exciting, with the two teams fighting in all areas of the pitch, playing at very high rates.
The first real chance is for the Bergamo players in the 24th minute, when Pessina breaks free at the edge of the area and kicks, finding a providential deviation from de Ligt. The biggest scoring ball, however, falls on Morata’s feet ten minutes later, with the Spaniard unable to take advantage of a mistake by Maehle, making a mistake in the excavation in front of Gollini.
In the second half the match remains alive and unpredictable, but neither Atalanta nor Juventus find a way to hurt their respective opposing rearguards.

Turin Rome 3-1
After the hardships of the Cup and the euphoria for the Europa League semifinal won on Thursday, Roma are back on clay losing 3-1 at Turin. The initial advantage of Borja Mayoral is not enough for Fonseca’s team, overturned in the second half by goals from Sanabria, Zaza and Rincon.
Three points that really know of salvation for Nicola’s team, while for the Capitoline it is a knockout that almost means goodbye to the Champions race, at least as regards the journey in the championship. Just 3 minutes on the clock and the Giallorossi immediately go ahead: Pedro touches back to Borja Mayoral, who controls and beats Milinkovic for 1-0. The assistant’s flag is raised, but the help of the Var is decisive in validating the Spaniard’s goal.
Toro is not there and reacts by going at least a couple of times one step away from a draw, with Lukic and Sanabria not framing the mirror from an inviting position. In all this, Roma would have several occasions for doubling on the counterattack, some of these even in clear numerical superiority, but no restart is exploited by the Capitoline who lack precision in the decisive moments.
Nicola’s team remains alive and in the first minutes of the second half draws with Sanabria, who anticipates Mirante with a header on Ansaldi’s perfect cross, signing the 1-1. At 71 ‘Torino overturns everything with the newly entered Zaza, who easily reaffirms Mirante’s rejection on Belotti’s shot on the net.
In the final, Roma tries with little conviction, they also remain outnumbered due to the expulsion of Diawara and in the recovery they also suffer the third goal signed by Rincon, who is not wrong on Belotti’s assist.
Lazio Benevento 5-3
Fifth consecutive victory for Lazio, which passes with some thrills at home with Benevento for 5-3. In addition to the own goals by Depaoli and Montipò, they score Immobile (brace and penalty wrong) and Correa, while Sau, Viola and Glik are of little use for the Campania team. The biancocelesti climb to 58 points in the standings, temporarily reaching -1 from Napoli, who are playing tonight against Inter.
Strong start of the biancocelesti, who hit a post with Immobile after just 4 minutes, then unlocking the scoring at 10 ‘: the protagonist is still the Lazio captain, who deposits on the net with the help of a decisive deviation from Depaoli. All of Immobile instead the Capitoline doubling at 20 ‘, propitiated by a beautiful assist from Milinkovic. At 37 ‘there is also room for Lazio’s trio, with the penalty kick won and made by Tucu Correa, before the interval Benevento returns to the match with the pearl of Sau which is worth 3-1.
At the beginning of the second half, however, Simone Inzaghi’s team immediately closes the discussion with the second Campanian own goal of the day, this time by Montipò on Correa’s low cross. The Giallorossi goalkeeper partially redeems himself a little later, saving a penalty kick against Immobile. Penalty on one side, penalty on the other: Marusic holds an opponent in the area and Viola scores 4-2 from the spot.
Lapadula would even find the third guest goal that would reopen the match even more clearly, but a push from Caldirola punished by the Var makes the attacker’s goal in vain. 4-3 which still arrives in the final by Glik, but it is a useless goal despite keeping the hopes of Benevento alive in the last remnants of the match. Immobile sets the final at 5-3.
Bologna Spezia 4-1
Bologna beat La Spezia with a good poker, returning to win after two losses in a row. It ends 4-1 at Dall’Ara, thanks to goals from Orsolini and Barrow as well as a brace from Svanberg, while Ismajli’s seal is useless for the Ligurians. The hosts unlocked after about ten minutes from the kick-off, taking advantage of a naivety of Bastoni, who touches his hand in the area giving a penalty to the rossoblù: Orsolini makes no mistake and scores 1-0.
Bologna continues to press and shortly after doubles with Barrow, served by Schouten after a verticalization of applause by Soriano. The Ligurian team did not give up and in the 34th minute found a way to get back into the game with a lucky deviation from Ismajli on Bastoni’s corner, a few moments later the post denied Barrow a personal brace.
In the second half, within a quarter of an hour, Bologna closes the conversation with a brace from a super Svanberg, who with two goals under goal seals the 3 points of his team. Orsolini hits a crossbar, then before the triple whistle the result doesn’t change anymore.
