Serie A 35ª giornata: Udinese batte Torino mentre Napoli e Atalanta non vanno oltre lo 0-0

The 35th matchday of the Serie A championship continues to deliver emotions and crucial outcomes. Following the early match where Lecce’s victory in Pisa relegated the Tuscan side along with Verona, today saw three matches with different yet significant results for the league standings.

Udinese-Torino: 2-0 victory thanks to Ehizibue and Kristensen

In the afternoon, Udinese triumphed over Torino with a 2-0 scoreline. The Friulian side broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time with a move initiated by Solet and Buska, setting up Ehizibue. In the second half, Kristensen doubled the lead with a header from a corner kick. Torino had early chances, including a glaring miss by Simeone, but struggled to find the net. This win gives Udinese valuable points in their bid for survival, while Torino’s position remains precarious.

Como-Napoli: balanced match ends 0-0

At 18:00, a crucial match for the top positions between Como and Napoli took place. Como showed great determination, creating more chances in the first half with Douvikas and Ramon, including a decisive goal-line clearance by Rrahmani for Napoli. The Partenopei responded in the second half, nearly taking the lead when Politano hit the post in the 84th minute. Despite four minutes of stoppage time, the score remained 0-0. This draw allows Inter to close in on the title, potentially securing the Scudetto with a draw in their next match.

Atalanta-Genoa: no goals and few chances in Bergamo

The evening featured the clash between Atalanta and Genoa, which also ended goalless. It was a balanced match with few thrills, with Genoa more proactive in the first half and Atalanta more active after the break. Raspadori struck the crossbar in the 79th minute, but neither side managed to score. With this result, Genoa edges closer to mathematical safety.

Upcoming key fixtures and Bologna-Cagliari lineup

The matchday continues tomorrow with decisive clashes for various parts of the table, including the early kickoff Bologna-Cagliari at 12:30. Bologna is expected to field Pessina in goal, Zortea at right-back, and Dominguez ready to replace Rowe, while Cagliari aims to solidify their position with an attack led by Palestra, Esposito, and Folorunsho, with Belotti poised to bolster the Sardinian side. At 15:00, Sassuolo-Milan takes place, followed by Juventus-Verona at 18:00, and finally, the highly anticipated Inter-Parma at 20:45, which could see the Nerazzurri clinch the Scudetto in front of their home crowd.

Serie A standings and Inter’s imminent Scudetto

With Napoli’s draw against Como, Inter now needs just one point in their next home match against Parma to celebrate the Italian championship title—a milestone they are already savoring at San Siro. The top of the table is firmly in Inter’s grasp with 79 points, compared to Napoli’s 69.

The race for European qualification and the battle at the bottom of the table remain tightly contested, with crucial results needed in the upcoming matches for the various contenders. Serie A continues to prove itself as a balanced and fiercely competitive league right down to the final matchday.
