&lt;p&gt;In the latest round of league fixtures, 32 goals were scored on a weekend where, at the top of the table, both Inter and Juventus won and, in the bottom half, there were victories for Empoli, Monza and Genoa. Meanwhile, in the fight for Europe, Bologna, Roma and Fiorentina all recorded important wins in the matches that took place on Friday and Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matchday 26 kicked off with a victory for Thiago Motta’s record-breaking Bologna side, who have the highest home points tally across the division (35). The Rossoblù beat Hellas Verona 2-0 thanks to di&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Giovanni Fabbian’s&lt;/strong&gt; fourth goal of the season and &lt;strong&gt;Remo Freuler’s &lt;/strong&gt;first for the club. Bologna, who have 48 points after 26 matches, have now won five consecutive Serie A TIM matches for the first time since May 1967. Meanwhile, the Scaligeri suffered a setback after two consecutive draws, and they remain third from bottom, level on points with Sassuolo and Cagliari.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;6abfe55a-c8f4-4461-aefc-5747285340af&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6abfe55a-c8f4-4461-aefc-5747285340af&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/63f5bf0b-c148-4443-89b8-8833d3a50565/Senza-titolo-1.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;6abfe55a-c8f4-4461-aefc-5747285340af&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6abfe55a-c8f4-4461-aefc-5747285340af&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first match on Saturday was &lt;strong&gt;Sassuolo &lt;/strong&gt;vs. &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt;, where important points were up for grabs in the relegation battle. At the Mapei Stadium, the two teams were involved in a thriller that finished in incredible fashion. &lt;strong&gt;Pinamonti &lt;/strong&gt;scored for his fourth consecutive home game to cancel out &lt;strong&gt;Luperto&lt;/strong&gt;’s opener, before &lt;strong&gt;Ferrari &lt;/strong&gt;grabbed another Sassuolo equaliser after M`Baye &lt;strong&gt;Niang&lt;/strong&gt;’s penalty. It was the Senegalese man’s third successful spot-kick in consecutive matches, meaning he’s become the first non-Italian player to score in three successive Serie A TIM matches for Empoli since the start of the three-points-per-win era. Then, in stoppage time, &lt;strong&gt;Bastoni &lt;/strong&gt;headed home the winner for the Tuscans, whose fantastic form under Nicola (twelve points from their last six matches) continues. They now sit in 13th place, five points ahead of the Neroverdi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;28c628c7-4162-455e-8508-5f3953c32008&#34; data-image-id=&#34;28c628c7-4162-455e-8508-5f3953c32008&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ee4910b0-e22d-4323-a735-947823515cbf/21927294_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;28c628c7-4162-455e-8508-5f3953c32008&#34; data-image-id=&#34;28c628c7-4162-455e-8508-5f3953c32008&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the 18:00 CET kick-off at the Arechi, &lt;strong&gt;Monza&lt;/strong&gt; compounded the woes of &lt;strong&gt;Salernitana&lt;/strong&gt;, who are still without a victory in 2024. In a match with plenty of chances, the Brianzoli opened the scoring through Daniel Maldini - his first for the club - before wrapping it up thanks to a lob from &lt;strong&gt;Pessina&lt;/strong&gt;, who bagged for the second consecutive match and, in doing so, scored the third goal of his career against the Granata (he hasn’t done better against any other side). Palladino’s men have now picked up eleven points and kept four clean sheets in their last five matches, a run that has allowed them to move clear of danger and start dreaming about Europe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b53a3a15-7612-4733-a70c-78b09eedcb57&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b53a3a15-7612-4733-a70c-78b09eedcb57&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/10b20400-e6bf-4dda-9118-63d63236d27d/21932671_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b53a3a15-7612-4733-a70c-78b09eedcb57&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b53a3a15-7612-4733-a70c-78b09eedcb57&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genoa&lt;/strong&gt; are in a similar position: thanks to their &lt;strong&gt;2-0 victory&lt;/strong&gt; over &lt;strong&gt;Udinese&lt;/strong&gt;, they now sit 13 points clear of the relegation zone and are in touching distance of the top half of the table. Gilardino’s Rossoblù emerged victorious following a brilliant bicycle kick from Mateo Retegui - his sixth goal this league season - and Mattia&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Bani’s &lt;/strong&gt;finish - his second headed goal at the Ferraris this campaign. After their first defeat to Genoa since 21 February 2016, the Bianconeri have 23 points from 26 matches, their lowest tally at this stage of a Serie A TIM season since the start of the three-points-per-win era.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;7f2cb302-b5b3-4250-adb6-76f86e058431&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7f2cb302-b5b3-4250-adb6-76f86e058431&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e1e2045b-430a-4fe0-ad8e-91e702409252/21928867_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;7f2cb302-b5b3-4250-adb6-76f86e058431&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7f2cb302-b5b3-4250-adb6-76f86e058431&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the lunchtime kick-off on Sunday, &lt;strong&gt;Juventus &lt;/strong&gt;didn’t give up and managed to come away with a last-gasp victory over Frosinone in what was another thrilling encounter. In an action-packed first half, the Bianconeri opened the scoring through &lt;strong&gt;Vlahović&lt;/strong&gt;, only for the Ciociari to come from behind thanks to goals from &lt;strong&gt;Cheddira &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Brescianini&lt;/strong&gt;. However, Vlahović then bagged his second of the game and, in doing so, became the striker with the most goals to his name across the top five European divisions in 2024 (nine). Just a few seconds before the final whistle, Daniele &lt;strong&gt;Rugani &lt;/strong&gt;beat Cerofolini at the far post to hand Massimiliano Allegri’s side their first win in five Serie A TIM matches. For the second consecutive game, the Bianconeri conceded twice; previously, they’d gone 21 matches without shipping more than one goal in a single fixture across all competitions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;d5c9783e-f841-46ad-b443-87004dacf61e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d5c9783e-f841-46ad-b443-87004dacf61e&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c770d182-a8e3-4678-b7b5-cb1af7dba87a/21929783_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;d5c9783e-f841-46ad-b443-87004dacf61e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d5c9783e-f841-46ad-b443-87004dacf61e&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The clash between &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt; also &lt;strong&gt;ended in exciting fashion&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Osimhen&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;returned to the scoresheet - since the Nigerian’s first Serie A TIM season (2020/21), only Harry Kane (24) has scored more headers than the Partenopei striker (18) - but Calzona’s men weren’t able to hold on as Zito&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Luvumbo&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;scored at the death. The Azzurri have thus failed to win any of their last six away matches in the Italian top flight, while the Sardinians are the team to have earned the most points (seven) through goals scored after the 90-minute mark. Ranieri’s side never give up: they’ve won twelve points from &lt;strong&gt;losing positions&lt;/strong&gt; so far this campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;774de083-7133-47b5-8e13-5e97e93ca578&#34; data-image-id=&#34;774de083-7133-47b5-8e13-5e97e93ca578&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/5f5079ee-0877-4d6e-b3b2-c7d51bc60b38/21930284_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;774de083-7133-47b5-8e13-5e97e93ca578&#34; data-image-id=&#34;774de083-7133-47b5-8e13-5e97e93ca578&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was another fantastic matchday for &lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;, whose incredible form continued at the Via del Mare in &lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Lautaro Martinez&lt;/strong&gt; reached and then surpassed the 100-goal mark in Serie A TIM with a brace, thus becoming the ninth player to achieve triple figures with Inter in the top flight. Meanwhile, &lt;strong&gt;Frattesi&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;De Vrij&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;also got on the scoresheet as the Nerazzurri recorded a 4-0 win. Inter now have 66 points after 25 matches; only once have they had a better points tally at this stage of the season (67 in 2006/07). Inzaghi’s men have also kept 16 clean sheets, just &lt;strong&gt;like Inter’s record-breaking side in 1988/89&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;752985a4-d350-4738-9947-441d61aa43f4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;752985a4-d350-4738-9947-441d61aa43f4&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/4784f389-e44b-447b-93b9-eb3992bf2f8a/21930410_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;752985a4-d350-4738-9947-441d61aa43f4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;752985a4-d350-4738-9947-441d61aa43f4&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sunday came to an end with a big showdown between &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt; in the fight for Champions League qualification. The Rossoneri took an early lead through a wonderful goal from &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/it/media/serie-a/il-gol-da-fenomeno-di-rafael-leao-13gjh53a5am9o8&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leão&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;but were then pegged back by a penalty from &lt;strong&gt;Koopmeiners&lt;/strong&gt;, who is the midfielder to have scored the most away goals so far this campaign (six). AC Milan have had &lt;strong&gt;eleven penalties awarded against them&lt;/strong&gt; throughout the campaign, including six in their last five matches in all competitions. The Diavolo thus lost ground on Juventus but, at the same time, maintained their advantage over La Dea, who will once again take to the San Siro pitch on Wednesday to face Inter in the rearranged matchday 21 clash between the sides.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;cbfe1309-8b70-44fc-950c-2766050bfe9c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;cbfe1309-8b70-44fc-950c-2766050bfe9c&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c9826a48-f4cb-42e2-b8cd-43eea0ed2fa8/21931084_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;cbfe1309-8b70-44fc-950c-2766050bfe9c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;cbfe1309-8b70-44fc-950c-2766050bfe9c&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the 18:30 CET kick-off on Monday, &lt;strong&gt;Roma’s&lt;/strong&gt; fine form continued: they made it four wins in five matches under De Rossi by beating &lt;strong&gt;Torino&lt;/strong&gt; on home soil. The star of the game was &lt;strong&gt;Paulo Dybala&lt;/strong&gt;, who became the first Roma player to score a &lt;strong&gt;hat-trick&lt;/strong&gt; in Serie A TIM since Mohamed Salah did so against Bologna at the Olimpico in November 2016.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Duzan Zapata’s fine header from &lt;strong&gt;Bellanova’s&lt;/strong&gt; assist and an own goal from &lt;strong&gt;Huijsen&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;weren’t enough for the Granata to avoid a second consecutive defeat. The Giallorossi remain in touch with fourth-place Bologna, who sit four points ahead of them, while Torino have slipped to tenth place, level with Monza on 36 points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;2e6113ee-8b7e-4609-8e45-7ac13698fc79&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2e6113ee-8b7e-4609-8e45-7ac13698fc79&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/742f98c1-9622-4858-869e-6d39f95aaed7/21934611_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;2e6113ee-8b7e-4609-8e45-7ac13698fc79&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2e6113ee-8b7e-4609-8e45-7ac13698fc79&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the final game on matchday 26, &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina &lt;/strong&gt;emerged victorious from their European six-pointer against &lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt;, thus returning to winning ways against the Biancocelesti at the Franchi after two consecutive home defeats to them. The Viola, who hit the post four times throughout the match, made a strong start but ended up heading into the break a goal behind following a goal from &lt;strong&gt;Luis Alberto&lt;/strong&gt; at the end of the first half. It was the Spaniard’s fifth career goal against Fiorentina; against no other team has he done better in Serie A TIM. However, the hosts turned it around after the break thanks to Michael &lt;strong&gt;Kayode&lt;/strong&gt;’s finish - he thus became the 16th player to score for the Viola this league campaign - and Giacomo &lt;strong&gt;Bonaventura&lt;/strong&gt;’s tap-in. In between these goals, Nico Gonzalez hit the post from the penalty spot. Italiano’s men have missed three of the six spot-kicks they’ve been awarded in the Italian top flight this season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;ddc2bdd1-1452-4cf6-9578-c2cba4289887&#34; data-image-id=&#34;ddc2bdd1-1452-4cf6-9578-c2cba4289887&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e07dde48-79b3-4beb-90a4-8db4b7747ba5/21935173_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;ddc2bdd1-1452-4cf6-9578-c2cba4289887&#34; data-image-id=&#34;ddc2bdd1-1452-4cf6-9578-c2cba4289887&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Watch all 32 goals&lt;/strong&gt; from matchday 26, click &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-26-13gk9j8k9b395a&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coming up next in Serie A TIM are the final two rearranged matchday 21 fixtures: &lt;strong&gt;Sassuolo &lt;/strong&gt;vs. &lt;strong&gt;Napoli &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Inter &lt;/strong&gt;vs. &lt;strong&gt;Atalanta &lt;/strong&gt;will take place on Wednesday 28 February at 18:00 CET and 20:45 CET, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

In the latest round of league fixtures, 32 goals were scored on a weekend where, at the top of the table, both Inter and Juventus won and, in the bottom half, there were victories for Empoli, Monza and Genoa. Meanwhile, in the fight for Europe, Bologna, Roma and Fiorentina all recorded important wins in the matches that took place on Friday and Monday.Matchday 26 kicked off with a victory for Thiago Motta’s record-breaking Bologna side, who have the highest home points tally across the division (35). The Rossoblù beat Hellas Verona 2-0 thanks to di&nbsp;Giovanni Fabbian’s fourth goal of the season and Remo Freuler’s first for the club. Bologna, who have 48 points after 26 matches, have now won five consecutive Serie A TIM matches for the first time since May 1967. Meanwhile, the Scaligeri suffered a setback after two consecutive draws, and they remain third from bottom, level on points with Sassuolo and Cagliari.<figure data-asset-id="6abfe55a-c8f4-4461-aefc-5747285340af" data-image-id="6abfe55a-c8f4-4461-aefc-5747285340af"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/63f5bf0b-c148-4443-89b8-8833d3a50565/Senza-titolo-1.jpg" data-asset-id="6abfe55a-c8f4-4461-aefc-5747285340af" data-image-id="6abfe55a-c8f4-4461-aefc-5747285340af" alt=""></figure>The first match on Saturday was Sassuolo vs. Empoli, where important points were up for grabs in the relegation battle.

Palladino’s men have now picked up eleven points and kept four clean sheets in their last five matches, a run that has allowed them to move clear of danger and start dreaming about Europe.<figure data-asset-id="b53a3a15-7612-4733-a70c-78b09eedcb57" data-image-id="b53a3a15-7612-4733-a70c-78b09eedcb57"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/10b20400-e6bf-4dda-9118-63d63236d27d/21932671_large.jpg" data-asset-id="b53a3a15-7612-4733-a70c-78b09eedcb57" data-image-id="b53a3a15-7612-4733-a70c-78b09eedcb57" alt=""></figure>Genoa are in a similar position: thanks to their 2-0 victory over Udinese, they now sit 13 points clear of the relegation zone and are in touching distance of the top half of the table. Gilardino’s Rossoblù emerged victorious following a brilliant bicycle kick from Mateo Retegui - his sixth goal this league season - and Mattia&nbsp;Bani’s finish - his second headed goal at the Ferraris this campaign. After their first defeat to Genoa since 21 February 2016, the Bianconeri have 23 points from 26 matches, their lowest tally at this stage of a Serie A TIM season since the start of the three-points-per-win era.<figure data-asset-id="7f2cb302-b5b3-4250-adb6-76f86e058431" data-image-id="7f2cb302-b5b3-4250-adb6-76f86e058431"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e1e2045b-430a-4fe0-ad8e-91e702409252/21928867_large.jpg" data-asset-id="7f2cb302-b5b3-4250-adb6-76f86e058431" data-image-id="7f2cb302-b5b3-4250-adb6-76f86e058431" alt=""></figure>In the lunchtime kick-off on Sunday, Juventus didn’t give up and managed to come away with a last-gasp victory over Frosinone in what was another thrilling encounter. In an action-packed first half, the Bianconeri opened the scoring through Vlahović, only for the Ciociari to come from behind thanks to goals from Cheddira and Brescianini. However, Vlahović then bagged his second of the game and, in doing so, became the striker with the most goals to his name across the top five European divisions in 2024 (nine). Just a few seconds before the final whistle, Daniele Rugani beat Cerofolini at the far post to hand Massimiliano Allegri’s side their first win in five Serie A TIM matches. For the second consecutive game, the Bianconeri conceded twice; previously, they’d gone 21 matches without shipping more than one goal in a single fixture across all competitions.&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="d5c9783e-f841-46ad-b443-87004dacf61e" data-image-id="d5c9783e-f841-46ad-b443-87004dacf61e"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c770d182-a8e3-4678-b7b5-cb1af7dba87a/21929783_large.jpg" data-asset-id="d5c9783e-f841-46ad-b443-87004dacf61e" data-image-id="d5c9783e-f841-46ad-b443-87004dacf61e" alt=""></figure>The clash between Cagliari and Napoli also ended in exciting fashion. Osimhen&nbsp;returned to the scoresheet - since the Nigerian’s first Serie A TIM season (2020/21), only Harry Kane (24) has scored more headers than the Partenopei striker (18) - but Calzona’s men weren’t able to hold on as Zito&nbsp;Luvumbo&nbsp;scored at the death. The Azzurri have thus failed to win any of their last six away matches in the Italian top flight, while the Sardinians are the team to have earned the most points (seven) through goals scored after the 90-minute mark. Ranieri’s side never give up: they’ve won twelve points from losing positions so far this campaign.<figure data-asset-id="774de083-7133-47b5-8e13-5e97e93ca578" data-image-id="774de083-7133-47b5-8e13-5e97e93ca578"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/5f5079ee-0877-4d6e-b3b2-c7d51bc60b38/21930284_large.jpg" data-asset-id="774de083-7133-47b5-8e13-5e97e93ca578" data-image-id="774de083-7133-47b5-8e13-5e97e93ca578" alt=""></figure>It was another fantastic matchday for Inter, whose incredible form continued at the Via del Mare in Lecce. Lautaro Martinez reached and then surpassed the 100-goal mark in Serie A TIM with a brace, thus becoming the ninth player to achieve triple figures with Inter in the top flight. Meanwhile, Frattesi&nbsp;and&nbsp;De Vrij&nbsp;also got on the scoresheet as the Nerazzurri recorded a 4-0 win. Inter now have 66 points after 25 matches; only once have they had a better points tally at this stage of the season (67 in 2006/07). Inzaghi’s men have also kept 16 clean sheets, just like Inter’s record-breaking side in 1988/89.<figure data-asset-id="752985a4-d350-4738-9947-441d61aa43f4" data-image-id="752985a4-d350-4738-9947-441d61aa43f4"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/4784f389-e44b-447b-93b9-eb3992bf2f8a/21930410_large.jpg" data-asset-id="752985a4-d350-4738-9947-441d61aa43f4" data-image-id="752985a4-d350-4738-9947-441d61aa43f4" alt=""></figure>Sunday came to an end with a big showdown between AC Milan and Atalanta in the fight for Champions League qualification. The Rossoneri took an early lead through a wonderful goal from <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/it/media/serie-a/il-gol-da-fenomeno-di-rafael-leao-13gjh53a5am9o8">Leão</a>&nbsp;but were then pegged back by a penalty from Koopmeiners, who is the midfielder to have scored the most away goals so far this campaign (six). AC Milan have had eleven penalties awarded against them throughout the campaign, including six in their last five matches in all competitions. The Diavolo thus lost ground on Juventus but, at the same time, maintained their advantage over La Dea, who will once again take to the San Siro pitch on Wednesday to face Inter in the rearranged matchday 21 clash between the sides.<figure data-asset-id="cbfe1309-8b70-44fc-950c-2766050bfe9c" data-image-id="cbfe1309-8b70-44fc-950c-2766050bfe9c"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c9826a48-f4cb-42e2-b8cd-43eea0ed2fa8/21931084_large.jpg" data-asset-id="cbfe1309-8b70-44fc-950c-2766050bfe9c" data-image-id="cbfe1309-8b70-44fc-950c-2766050bfe9c" alt=""></figure>In the 18:30 CET kick-off on Monday, Roma’s fine form continued: they made it four wins in five matches under De Rossi by beating Torino on home soil. The star of the game was Paulo Dybala, who became the first Roma player to score a hat-trick in Serie A TIM since Mohamed Salah did so against Bologna at the Olimpico in November 2016.Duzan Zapata’s fine header from Bellanova’s assist and an own goal from Huijsen&nbsp;weren’t enough for the Granata to avoid a second consecutive defeat. The Giallorossi remain in touch with fourth-place Bologna, who sit four points ahead of them, while Torino have slipped to tenth place, level with Monza on 36 points.<figure data-asset-id="2e6113ee-8b7e-4609-8e45-7ac13698fc79" data-image-id="2e6113ee-8b7e-4609-8e45-7ac13698fc79"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/742f98c1-9622-4858-869e-6d39f95aaed7/21934611_large.jpg" data-asset-id="2e6113ee-8b7e-4609-8e45-7ac13698fc79" data-image-id="2e6113ee-8b7e-4609-8e45-7ac13698fc79" alt=""></figure>In the final game on matchday 26, Fiorentina emerged victorious from their European six-pointer against Lazio, thus returning to winning ways against the Biancocelesti at the Franchi after two consecutive home defeats to them. The Viola, who hit the post four times throughout the match, made a strong start but ended up heading into the break a goal behind following a goal from Luis Alberto at the end of the first half. It was the Spaniard’s fifth career goal against Fiorentina; against no other team has he done better in Serie A TIM. However, the hosts turned it around after the break thanks to Michael Kayode’s finish - he thus became the 16th player to score for the Viola this league campaign - and Giacomo Bonaventura’s tap-in. In between these goals, Nico Gonzalez hit the post from the penalty spot. Italiano’s men have missed three of the six spot-kicks they’ve been awarded in the Italian top flight this season.&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="ddc2bdd1-1452-4cf6-9578-c2cba4289887" data-image-id="ddc2bdd1-1452-4cf6-9578-c2cba4289887"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e07dde48-79b3-4beb-90a4-8db4b7747ba5/21935173_large.jpg" data-asset-id="ddc2bdd1-1452-4cf6-9578-c2cba4289887" data-image-id="ddc2bdd1-1452-4cf6-9578-c2cba4289887" alt=""></figure>Watch all 32 goals from matchday 26, click <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-26-13gk9j8k9b395a" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>!Coming up next in Serie A TIM are the final two rearranged matchday 21 fixtures: Sassuolo vs. Napoli and Inter vs. Atalanta will take place on Wednesday 28 February at 18:00 CET and 20:45 CET, respectively.
