Rome continues to speak loudly at the top. The Giallorossi hosted Udinese today (Sunday) in the 22nd round of Serie A and won 0: 3 at the end of an almost one-sided display. The game, like all league games The Italian, aired on channel ONE2 to yes subscribers, HOT Cellcom TV and Partner TV.

From the very first minute Rome showed absolute superiority, and rose to a quick advantage. In the 5th minute Gianluca Mancini found Jordan Verto who subdued Hoson Musso, and already after 20 minutes the excellent contact completed a pair with an accurate free kick and set up 0: 2. In the 36th minute Lorenzo Pellegrini also joined the celebration but the goal was disqualified by the VAR. In the 93rd minute, substitute Pedro nailed the third and signed an excellent performance by the team from the Italian capital.

Rome has temporarily risen to 3rd place in the table at the expense of Juventus and Napoli and hopes for the stumbling blocks of its rivals at the top to establish its place there. In the next round Benevento is waiting for them away, but even before that they will play against Braga in the last 32 stage of the Europa League. Udinese may get tangled up at the bottom and get as close as 6 points to the red line.

Cagliari – Atlanta 1: 0

A win in an unconventional result at all for Jan Piero Gasparini’s side. In the middle of a completely unstable season and after losing a 0: 3 advantage on the way to a disappointing 3: 3 against Torino from the bottom, the guest showed that they also know how to win with a minimal result and whoever was responsible for that was, of course, Luis Muriel. The Colombian, arguably the best substitute in the world, once again made the difference when he came off the bench and gave the Blues-Blacks the most dramatic victory there was when they prevailed in the 90th minute.

Thanks to the victory, Atalanta remained strong in the battle for place in the top four as they finished in seventh place with 40 points, just like Lazio and Napoli above it and two points less than Juventus who close out the quartet. And Cagliari? One of the biggest disappointments of the season remained below the red line, with two points separating it from a safe haven.

Sampdoria – Fiorentina 1: 2

Claudio Ranieri’s midfielder came back to win after two games in which they failed to do so. Keita Balde (31) and veteran Fabio Caviarella (71) scored for the host, while Dusan Valahovic only temporarily equalized for Viola (38). Fiorentina are in 16th place with 22 points, 7 above the red line, while Safdoria continue their relaxed season in the middle of the table with a 10th place with 30.

Crotone – Sesotho 2: 1

The host is on the safe path to the second division, when it suffered a fourth loss in a row and is five points from a safe shore, and mostly looks like someone who does not believe in herself. Despite giving up a fight, she eventually surrendered and Sassuolo established herself in eighth place in the table, close to the top-flight bunch and having not won six games already. Domenico Barardi set up an advantage for the Greens (14), Adam Onas equalized (27) but a Francesco Caputo penalty gave the visitors a victory (49).
