Football. ua sums up the fifth round of the championship of Italy.
After the fifth round of the Italian championship, only two teams managed to continue to advance in the tournament distance without losses. However, if Juventus managed to overcome his principal (from the Florentine point of view) rival Fiorentina, Napoli, who continues to "justify himself" after the defeat of Shakhtar in the Champions League, did not leave a stone in stone from Lazio in Rome. From this sweet couple, Inter broke away, dispersed peace with Bologna, and now to "Nerazzurri" closely came fellow countrymen from Milan and not knowing the defeats of Torino.
Tour Results Curse of the Eternal City Something in this season, native walls do not really help both Roman teams, and this happens in meetings with direct competitors in the fight for places at the top of the standings. In the second round, the defeat of Inter Milan at Stadio Olimpico suffered Roma, and now surrendered to Lazio, who fell under the Neapolitan "skating rink".
In principle, if you look at the history of meetings between the two teams in the Italian capital recently, then there is nothing strange in the victory of Napoli. The last home victory of Lazio happened in 2012, and since then the "parthenopes" have won four matches and two have drawn. But at first it seemed that this time the Neapolitan "braid" would be blunted about the Roman "stone".
The hosts opened the account thanks to the blow de Vray, but eventually fell victim to the circumstances and the irresistible onslaught of guests in the second half. In one of the episodes, the referee did not remove the Rhine for the foul of the last hope against Immobil, confining himself to a warning. In addition, before the break, Lazio lost because of injuries two central defenders. Bashtush left the field in the middle of the first 45-minute, and De Vrey though held out until the end of the first half, the second did not come out.
The place in the center of defense had to take Lucas Leive, but in this position his team did not help. Napoli was simply uncontrollable, and the score 1: 4 "eagles" can be considered a gift of fate, because the guests had enough moments to increase the score, but Fortune took pity on the hosts.
And there is a natural question: is the absence of Mertens, Allan and Jorginho in the starting lineup in Kharkiv so weakened the team of Maurizio Sarri? Or is Shakhtar so strong? In any case, it is hard to believe that in Italy someone will be able to take the points from the "donkeys" until October 14, when the Neapolitans will be accepted by Roma (and then Napoli will have to fight with Inter in a week).
The result - on the scoreboard Where the more modest was the victory of Juventus over Fiorentina. In addition, the game, demonstrated by the champion, was far from the true champion.
Perhaps Massimiliano Allegri felt that it would be much more difficult for his team to play successfully in the Turin derby against Torino next Saturday, but the Juventus coach decided to give Buffon, Pyanich and Alex Sandro a break. Perhaps he relied on the habit of Fiorentina unsuccessfully perform in Turin (two draws and seven losses since 2008)?.
However, the winners, they say, are not judged, and the only goal of Mandzhukich proved to be enough to defeat the rival who played the last half hour in the minority. Yes, the "old lady" had enough moments to bring the score to a big one, but at the end of the meeting "violets" could easily earn one point, so it's no wonder that after the final whistle Allegri did not hide his displeasure with the actions of the wards.
Not Handanovich - so videopovtor Inter in the fifth round of the frankly lucky. Of course, the first lost glasses can not be called a special success, however, for the fact that the first draw was not the first defeat, Nerazzurri should thank the technical innovations that appeared in Serie A - the video assistant system of the referee (VAR).
After the victory over Croton, which became a reality due to excellent actions on the last boundary Handanovicha, guests who did not lose on Dall'Ara for fifteen years, it seemed, without problems, they will take three points in the weakened by injuries of Bologna. However, as time passed, the guests squandered their moments, and the owners gradually regained their confidence. What eventually led Verdi to the goal in the 32nd minute.
After the break, the guests began to play even more aggressively, but the implementation of the moments was still limping. And who knows what would have ended the match, if not for a controversial penalty, appointed to the gate of Bologna and implemented by Icardi. Lost balance, Mbaye crashed into the back of Eder, who did not even think to threaten the gate, but the judge, having secured the support of the VAR, regarded this as a violation of the rules and pointed to the "point" ... ??

"Standard" Milan Countrymen Inter - Milan - had to beat a penalty twice as often, and the "points" of the "Rossoneri" were unquestionable. What can not be said about the game against the newcomer to Serie A, who also lost four players on the eve of the match.
Despite the game advantage, Milan could not have had two penalties for the victory over SPAL, because Giggio Donnarumma did not remain an indifferent spectator during the match, and once Bonucci had to take the ball literally from the empty goal line.
Nevertheless, now the team Vincenzo Montella only one point behind Inter and is preparing for a meeting on the next Sunday with undefeated this season's Sampdoria.

Bullfight in Udine, hunting for "witches" and the first bite of "sharks" If you take into account lost, not scored points, then Milan is already equal to Roma. But who doubted that the "wolves" will deal without problems with Benevento, who have not yet scored a single point in the championship? At the same time, the "witches" proved to be hospitable hosts, making half the work for the guests: two goals of Dzeko were added by an own goal to Lukioni and Venuti.
Where it was more interesting to fight in Udine, where the local "Zebriata" tried to pobodatsya with "bulls" from Turin. Not without an accurate shot at their own gates and in this match, and if Halfreddesson did not help Belotti and cut the ball past Scuffet, the duel in Dacia could well end in a fair fighting draw.
Even more than Udinese with Torino, they pounded Atalanta with Crotone. And although the Bergamaski, gradually regaining last year's form, scored five times more than the "sharks", the only goal Croton is worth to be noted. The debut goal in Serie A of talented striker Tumminello, rented from Roma, was the first for the heroes of the battle for the survival of last season in the current championship.
Again lost points going yet without defeats and having a game in stock Sampdoria.
After all, otherwise, as a loss, a zero draw against the newcomer elite of Verona, going to the third from the end of the place, you will not name ... The player of the tour Edina Dzeko did not need to single out to win a victory for Roma - he was helped by the players of the opponent, however the Bosnian, albeit in a duel against the " kid "Benevento, clearly demonstrated how the central striker should act.
