All easy for Sassuolo, who overwhelmed Verona 4-0 in the match at 12.30, confirming themselves in second place.

The feat of the day is by Fiorentina, who stops a Juventus that had won the last 36 games in the league. But Montemurro’s team, two goals down after 33 ‘, can still be satisfied with the comeback and the character shown after a distracted start. In fact, in the 14th minute, Giacinti’s first goal with the purple jersey arrived: the national team striker, on his debut as a starter after taking over from the bench against Sassuolo, took advantage of the wrong pass in April and with a very soft lob he beat the Juventus goalkeeper, on the pitch today in place of Peyraud-Magnin, a victim of gastroenteritis. Giacinti, in Vinovo, missed a penalty a month ago with the Milan shirt. Fiorentina also found the doubling: right from outside of Neto and decisive deviation of Gama to deceive Aprile. In the injury time of the first half, Cernoia’s splendid goal put Juventus back in the game. Montemurro’s team nearly equalized in the 56th minute: Staskova’s sensational crossbar, but found him two minutes later with a right-footed volley from Caruso on a cross from Hyyrynen. Both teams then tried to win, but ended up with one point on each side.

Scorers: 38 ‘Bragonzi (E), 65’ Banusic (P), 78 ‘Dellaperuta (P)

Colpaccio del Pomigliano in Empoli: three points of extraordinary importance for the bells of Panico, who, while waiting for Naples-Rome, put themselves in third last place with eight points. It was Pomigliano who had made a better start: the rescue of De Rita on Banusic was decisive, after a hit and run in the Tuscan area. Then Capelletti blocked Salvatori Rinaldi’s way towards the door. Dompig’s first chance for Ulderici’s team: careful Buhigas who, however, was unable to hit Bragonzi’s header, served by Mella. Pomigliano, who made three changes in the interval (between rookies Toomey and Dellaperuta, plus Vaitukaityte) pushed hard even in the opening of the second half, finding equal with Banusic, perfectly served by Ippolito. The Swede dribbled Capelletti and put in the net in the empty goal. The bells, at that point, were not satisfied and also sought the victory, finding it with the newcomer Dellaperuta, an American born in 2004.
