After this successful international break for Squadra Azzurra, the Italian championship resumed its rights. But Easter weekend requires, this 29th day of Serie A took place entirely this Saturday, April 3.
After seeing AC Milan concede a draw against Sampdoria (1-1), 7 matches followed at 3 p.m. We can especially remember the forceps victory of Lazio, 2 goals to 1 against Spezia. New offensive shortage for Immobile ahead, silent since February 7 and a 1-0 victory against Cagliari. It was Caicedo, Simone Inzaghi’s supersub, who delivered his team from a penalty in the 88ᵉ minute of play.
In the other results, Sassulo held off AS Roma, 2-2. Without his handyman, Domenico Berardi (injured during the truce) it is the young Raspadori, scorer during Euro U21 and Hamed Traoré who took their responsibilities on the Sassuolo side. Fonseca’s men have not won for 1 month in Serie A.
Finally Cagliari returned to the red zone after their 2-0 loss against Hellas. The Sardinians overlap by 2 points with Parma 19ᵉ. The Parmesans who conceded the draw, 2-2 against Benevento.

The beautiful game of Sampdoria: For this opening match of the 29th day, Sampdoria traveled to San Siro to face AC Milan. And the point of the draw is definitely not dearly paid for Ranieri’s men. Fighter and players during these 90 minutes, they will have suffered the wrath of Jans Peter Hauge, scorer at the very end of the game. Note that with his goal scored, Quagliarella becomes the third player for Sampdoria (after Mancini and Vialli) to score more than 10 goals over 6 different seasons. This Fabio has decidedly beautiful remains.
The strength of character of Napoli: In a match that seemed affordable for Gattuso’s men, the Partenopei struggled to get rid of the promoted Crotone. They will have led 3 times in score, before being joined by the hour mark, 3-3. Di Lorenzo scored the saving goal in the 72ᵉ minute. Note the 14ᵉ and 15ᵉ achievements of Simy, the Nigerian striker from Crotone who has had a very good season.
The selflessness of Torino: In one Derby delle Molle where many saw them bow, the Torino managed to take the point of the draw. Well helped by a defense of Juventus sometimes too wait-and-see, the Toro players will have known how to worry the Bianconeri at times, without creating a real difference. Final score 2-2. Federico Chiesa and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two goalscorers on the Juve side. The Torino breathes and takes 2 points ahead of the red zone. Juventus are 4ᵉ, one game behind.
Time of day
After the two draws of AC Milan and Juventus, Inter had a boulevard facing Bologna. If their 1-0 success was not spectacular, the Nerazzurri will still have won their ninth consecutive game in the league. A first since 2007. At the time, the Lombard club had a series of 17 victories in as many games.
Highlighted
For his first Derby delle Mole, Antonio Sanabria will have marked the spirits, and in a very beautiful way. Faced with Juventus, certainly marked by absences (disciplinary and physical) the Paraguayan will have scored a double. Arrived on tiptoe this winter, the former Betis Sevilla scorer is already 4 goals in 5 Serie A games. A good omen, therefore, for the mission that Davide Nicola and his men are waiting for at the end of the season. : that of remaining in the elite.
