Fiorentina 3-2 Lazio
Khouma Babacar 67’ Balde Diao Keita 55’
Nikola Kalinic 73’ Alessandro Murgia 81’
Cristiano Lombardi 76’(o.g)
A victory at home for Fiorentina caused a little dent in Lazio’s ambitions of finishing in the top four.
Atalanta 1-1 AC Milan
Andrea Conti 44’ Gerard Deulofeu 87’
Milan got a victory to save themselves from defeat at away to Atalanta. It was the fifth consecutive league match without a victory for AC Milan; 3 losses and 2 draws.
This result will likely allow Atalanta to finish in the Europa League qualification spot.
May 14, 2017
Inter Milan 1-2 Sassuolo
Eder 70’ Pietro Iemmello 36’ 50’
Pietro Iemmello scored a brace to hand Sassuolo a victory at the San Siro. It was a fought straight defeat for Inter Milan and 8 matches without a victory.
Sampdoria 1-1 Chievo Verona
Fabio Quagliarella 11’ Roberto Inglese 46’
With nothing at stake, Sampdoria and Chievo Verona took a point from this fixture.
Cagliari 3-2 Empoli
Marco Sau 7’ Miha Zajc 79’
Diego Farias 17’ 45’ Massimo Maccarone 84’
Empoli remains under the threat of relegation after defeat to Cagliari. The hope for Empoli is that they can find a victory in their last match of the season against Atalanta, or hope that Crotone fails to get a point in their last match of the season.
Palermo 1-0 Genoa
Andrea Rispoli 13’
Relegated Palermo denied Genoa the chance to get out of relegation threat. The result means Genoa has all to play for in the final two matches of the season.
Torino 0-5 Napoli
Jose Maria Callejon 7’ 76’
Lorenzo Insigne 60’
Dries Mertens 72’
Piotr Zielinksi 78’
Napoli is not giving up on direct qualification to the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League. They showed their intent by thrashing Torino to leave with a 5-0 away victory.
Bologna 3-1 Pescara
Mattia Destro 8’ 90’+1’ Jean-Christophe Bahebeck 24’
Federico Di Francesco 48’
Bottom-tabled and relegated Pescara suffered their fifth straight league defeat at Bologna.
Crotone 1-0 Udinese
Marcus Rohden 18’
Crotone gave themselves a shot at safety with this home victory over Udinese.
Roma 3-1 Juventus
Daniele De Rossi 25’ Mario Lemina 21’
Stephan El Shaarawy 56’
Radja Nainggolan 65’
Roma spoiled the party for Juventus.
A home victory for Roma kept them in the second place spot in the league and four points from the league leaders with two games left.
Juventus will need against Crotone to wrap the season up. Anything but a victory will open a gap for Roma to make it an interesting final day of the 2016/17 Italian Serie A.
