&lt;p&gt;Matchday 27 lived up to expectations and provided important provisional verdicts for the near future of teams engaged in the struggle for &lt;strong&gt;survival&lt;/strong&gt; and those aspiring for a place in &lt;strong&gt;Europe&lt;/strong&gt;. At the bottom of the table, in a round that pitted all 8 involved teams against each other, Cagliari and Hellas achieve a hugely significant victory, leaving all others in trouble: Sardinians and Venetians remain joint third from bottom, but with as many as &lt;strong&gt;7 clubs&lt;/strong&gt; enclosed within just &lt;strong&gt;5 points&lt;/strong&gt;. At the top of the standings, Bologna and Roma strongly vie for a place in the Champions League, while Napoli overtake Lazio and Fiorentina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matchday 27 opened with an &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt; away victory at the Olimpico. The Rossoneri defeated the home team Lazio with the &lt;strong&gt;fourth goal coming from a substitut&lt;/strong&gt;e this season – the fifth in total - by Noah Okafor, who replicates his performance from the first leg against Lazio and scored in the &lt;strong&gt;88’&lt;/strong&gt; to win the match. For the Rossoneri, it`s their &lt;strong&gt;13th goa&lt;/strong&gt;l from the &lt;strong&gt;bench&lt;/strong&gt;, more than any other team in the top five European leagues. &lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt; suffer their second consecutive home defeat and the third direct loss for Europe out of the four scheduled in recent weeks. The victory allows Pioli`s team to close in on Juventus (-1), while Sarri`s team loses contact with the rivals, with Roma`s fifth place distant by 7 points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b8ce8916-8670-4a62-88e2-63998bcd2f99&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b8ce8916-8670-4a62-88e2-63998bcd2f99&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e71f2250-2451-4a5a-8063-36f6650e921d/Senza-titolo-4.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b8ce8916-8670-4a62-88e2-63998bcd2f99&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b8ce8916-8670-4a62-88e2-63998bcd2f99&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saturday`s Serie A fixtures start with the relegation battle between &lt;strong&gt;Udinese&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Salernitana&lt;/strong&gt;, two teams in desperate need of a win, but they end up settling for a point each. The Granata take the lead with a great shot from the 2003-born Loum &lt;strong&gt;Tchaouna&lt;/strong&gt; - the youngest player to have been involved in at least five goals in this Serie A season (two goals and three assists) - but they are quickly equalized by a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/kamara-s-perfect-bicycle-kick-13h0khabobk9fc&#34;&gt;front-page-worthy bicycle kick from Hassane Kamara&lt;/a&gt;, his first goal in the top flight. Salernitana earn their first point under Liverani`s management, while Udinese collect their &lt;strong&gt;15th draw&lt;/strong&gt; of the season, nearing the record of 18 draws in a single season with 20 teams, held by Inter in 2004/05 and Empoli in 2014/15. The Bianconeri, in particular, have drawn 9 out of 13 home games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;92675f66-1ea2-4a67-90a2-df37412a0751&#34; data-image-id=&#34;92675f66-1ea2-4a67-90a2-df37412a0751&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ac3bbe5c-f8fa-4b18-a718-1423d7aba723/21951512_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;92675f66-1ea2-4a67-90a2-df37412a0751&#34; data-image-id=&#34;92675f66-1ea2-4a67-90a2-df37412a0751&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daniele De Rossi`s experience at the helm of &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt; continues at full throttle, with a crushing 4-1 away victory against Monza. The Giallorossi secure their sixth win in 7 games under the new management, and the former captain becomes the second coach of the Roman side to win each of the first three away games in Serie A after taking over, following Lajos Kovács in 1932. Pellegrini opened the scoring at the U-Power Stadium with his seventh goal contribution (4 goals and 3 assists) since De Rossi`s debut, then Lukaku, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/dybala-s-incredible-free-kick-13h0nim632lcd5&#34;&gt;Dybala with a perfect free-kick&lt;/a&gt;, and Paredes from the penalty spot complete the rout. Monza`s consolation goal came from Andrea Carboni, who scoreed his first goal in 73 appearances in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;8aaf396f-4456-48ca-a219-e3b137665849&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8aaf396f-4456-48ca-a219-e3b137665849&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/19533541-5c13-44f2-8811-295c51b2a6dc/Senza-titolo-3.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;8aaf396f-4456-48ca-a219-e3b137665849&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8aaf396f-4456-48ca-a219-e3b137665849&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the late 20:45 CET match, &lt;strong&gt;Torino&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt; played in a balanced but uneventful game, ending in a &lt;strong&gt;0-0&lt;/strong&gt; draw. Torino secure their ninth &lt;strong&gt;clean sheet&lt;/strong&gt; of the season, matching Bologna, Inter, and Nice in the top five European leagues; considering only first halves, only Inter and PSG have conceded fewer goals than Torino in the first 45 minutes. Fiorentina obtain their second consecutive away draw, slipping 9 points behind fourth-placed Bologna.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;006b99d4-b1d0-46f2-a7f7-b79bb0825e3d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;006b99d4-b1d0-46f2-a7f7-b79bb0825e3d&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b4d9054a-61c7-41fe-9a13-21330e9ae5dc/21953044_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;006b99d4-b1d0-46f2-a7f7-b79bb0825e3d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;006b99d4-b1d0-46f2-a7f7-b79bb0825e3d&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sunday`s lunchtime match between &lt;strong&gt;Hellas Verona&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Sassuolo&lt;/strong&gt; awarded crucial points for survival. At the Bentegodi, the hosts prevail with the first Italian goal by Karol &lt;strong&gt;Świderski&lt;/strong&gt;, the Polish striker who arrived in Veneto from MLS in January. The Scaligers confirm their good relationship with their home crowd, achieving their &lt;strong&gt;fourth home win&lt;/strong&gt; out of five in Serie A TIM. The Neroverdi suffer their sixth consecutive away defeat, plunging into the solitary &lt;strong&gt;penultimate position&lt;/strong&gt;, as reflected by their poor recent form: with only one point in the last eight games, considering the second half of the season, Sassuolo would be bottom of the table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;56de112d-3857-46b0-9d44-c8e319dcf78e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;56de112d-3857-46b0-9d44-c8e319dcf78e&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e07a159a-94a1-42c8-9437-4c97cc0be1e7/21953761_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;56de112d-3857-46b0-9d44-c8e319dcf78e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;56de112d-3857-46b0-9d44-c8e319dcf78e&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The two matches scheduled at 15:00 CET pit all the remaining teams against each other in the fight to avoid relegation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt; accomplished a feat at &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt; and return to Sardinia with their &lt;strong&gt;first away victory&lt;/strong&gt; of the season. The Rossoblu inflict the first defeat of the Nicola era on the Tuscans, with Jakub Jankto scoring the first Sardinian goal, again present in Serie A since 2 May &amp;nbsp;2021, against Roma with a Sampdoria`s jersey. With Jankto`s goal in the 69’, both Empoli and Cagliari remain the only two clubs not to have scored in the first half in 21 out of 27 games this season. &lt;strong&gt;Ranieri`s&lt;/strong&gt; men breathe a sigh of relief but remain third from bottom, while Nicola`s blues see their margin earned in the last 6 games vanish&lt;strong&gt;, leaving them just 2 points&lt;/strong&gt; above the safety line.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;a8f01d0d-82fb-4d22-bdb2-dfeab3317d35&#34; data-image-id=&#34;a8f01d0d-82fb-4d22-bdb2-dfeab3317d35&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a313062f-2b7b-42af-b67a-2ce79a9d369e/Senza-titolo-1.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;a8f01d0d-82fb-4d22-bdb2-dfeab3317d35&#34; data-image-id=&#34;a8f01d0d-82fb-4d22-bdb2-dfeab3317d35&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Benito Stirpe in &lt;strong&gt;Frosinone&lt;/strong&gt;, the home team under Di Francesco once again missed out on victory against Lecce. The Ciociari take the lead with Walid &lt;strong&gt;Cheddira`s&lt;/strong&gt; goal, scoring in two consecutive matches, but the Salentini equalize with the help of luck: Krstović`s missed penalty hits &lt;strong&gt;Cerofolini`s&lt;/strong&gt; back and ends up in the net for the final 1-1 draw. Frosinone halt a run of four consecutive defeats, remaining the top scorers among the teams currently in the bottom half of the table; D`Aversa`s Giallorossi collect their fifth away point of the season, matching Frosinone, and only bettered by Salernitana (2) and Sassuolo (4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;25945e8c-e061-40a5-aee4-2b81cb2894c1&#34; data-image-id=&#34;25945e8c-e061-40a5-aee4-2b81cb2894c1&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/586171d6-4699-43a6-8909-ceb0a9c657e5/Senza-titolo-2.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;25945e8c-e061-40a5-aee4-2b81cb2894c1&#34; data-image-id=&#34;25945e8c-e061-40a5-aee4-2b81cb2894c1&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The standout performance of the day came from Bologna, who during the 18:00 CET match at the Gewiss Stadium, the Bolognese overcame Gasperini`s Atalanta, ending a streak of 7 consecutive home wins for the Bergamo side. Thiago Motta`s Rossoblu consolidate fourth place, going 5 points clear of La Dea, a gap entirely built with two victories in the matches with the Orobici. The Emilians` success comes from behind – after &lt;strong&gt;Lookman`s&lt;/strong&gt; initial goal – with &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/bologna-scores-2-goals-in-4-minutes-13h11gaohf046n&#34;&gt;2 goals in 4 minutes&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Zirkzee&lt;/strong&gt; converted a penalty to make it 10 in the league, then &lt;strong&gt;Ferguson&lt;/strong&gt; punishes Atalanta as in the first leg. Bologna make history with their sixth consecutive victory, while Atalanta slows down with just one point in the last 3 games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b02ed12d-43f4-45dd-adb0-2d20c696ecb0&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b02ed12d-43f4-45dd-adb0-2d20c696ecb0&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/51f91034-6e3e-46a5-90d1-5f95af97e403/21956196_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b02ed12d-43f4-45dd-adb0-2d20c696ecb0&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b02ed12d-43f4-45dd-adb0-2d20c696ecb0&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Maradona Stadium hosted the revival of Napoli, who, in an electrifying and uncertain match, triumph over Juventus with goals from &lt;strong&gt;Kvaratskhelia&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Raspadori&lt;/strong&gt;, with Chiesa scoring the seventh goal of the season for the Bianconeri. &lt;strong&gt;Calzona`s&lt;/strong&gt; first joy at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona coincides with &lt;strong&gt;Napoli`s fifth consecutive home win&lt;/strong&gt; against the Bianconeri, a streak never achieved before by the Campanian club. Khvicha - again on target in two consecutive games - and Giacomo - nemesis of Juventus, with his fourth career goal against the Piedmontese, including the decisive one in last year`s 1-0 victory - are the architects of Napoli`s second consecutive Serie A success, a result that puts the Azzurri in contention for a Champions League spot. Allegri, who fielded his &lt;strong&gt;youngest starting XI &lt;/strong&gt;at the Maradona Stadium (26 years and 14 days), returns to Turin without the three points for the third consecutive away game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;8557ef9c-6155-4bbd-8726-6e6da4c6e637&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8557ef9c-6155-4bbd-8726-6e6da4c6e637&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/d6bd0af5-1346-47b2-b6be-90b8d1a637ff/21959491_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;8557ef9c-6155-4bbd-8726-6e6da4c6e637&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8557ef9c-6155-4bbd-8726-6e6da4c6e637&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matchday 27 concluded with the late match between &lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Genoa&lt;/strong&gt;. The league leaders prevail 2-1 over the Ligurians with &lt;strong&gt;the first goal&lt;/strong&gt; in Inter`s shirt by &lt;strong&gt;Kristjan Asllani &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Alexis&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Sanchez`s&lt;/strong&gt; first in this league, bringing the number of seasonal scorers in Serie A TIM to 16. Simone Inzaghi secures the ninth consecutive victory, equaling Conte`s Inter record from 2010/11 and &lt;strong&gt;surging 15 &lt;/strong&gt;points ahead of second-placed Juventus. Genoa fail to catch up with Monza in twelfth position, maintaining a 10-point gap from the relegation zone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;23f80699-515a-4920-a545-1bed5c8c9069&#34; data-image-id=&#34;23f80699-515a-4920-a545-1bed5c8c9069&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3ef78e19-f190-4b08-bcb4-d06e76619cf5/21960773_large.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;23f80699-515a-4920-a545-1bed5c8c9069&#34; data-image-id=&#34;23f80699-515a-4920-a545-1bed5c8c9069&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next round of the league returns on Friday, 8 March, at 20:45 CET with Napoli vs. Torino, while Lazio vs. Udinese conclude the Matchday 28 program on Monday, 11 March, at 20:45 CET.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Review all the goals of the 27th matchday, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-27-13h1ho729g5747&#34;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

Matchday 27 lived up to expectations and provided important provisional verdicts for the near future of teams engaged in the struggle for survival and those aspiring for a place in Europe. At the bottom of the table, in a round that pitted all 8 involved teams against each other, Cagliari and Hellas achieve a hugely significant victory, leaving all others in trouble: Sardinians and Venetians remain joint third from bottom, but with as many as 7 clubs enclosed within just 5 points. At the top of the standings, Bologna and Roma strongly vie for a place in the Champions League, while Napoli overtake Lazio and Fiorentina.Matchday 27 opened with an AC Milan away victory at the Olimpico. The Rossoneri defeated the home team Lazio with the fourth goal coming from a substitute this season – the fifth in total - by Noah Okafor, who replicates his performance from the first leg against Lazio and scored in the 88’ to win the match. For the Rossoneri, it`s their 13th goal from the bench, more than any other team in the top five European leagues. Lazio suffer their second consecutive home defeat and the third direct loss for Europe out of the four scheduled in recent weeks. The victory allows Pioli`s team to close in on Juventus (-1), while Sarri`s team loses contact with the rivals, with Roma`s fifth place distant by 7 points.<figure data-asset-id="b8ce8916-8670-4a62-88e2-63998bcd2f99" data-image-id="b8ce8916-8670-4a62-88e2-63998bcd2f99"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e71f2250-2451-4a5a-8063-36f6650e921d/Senza-titolo-4.jpg" data-asset-id="b8ce8916-8670-4a62-88e2-63998bcd2f99" data-image-id="b8ce8916-8670-4a62-88e2-63998bcd2f99" alt=""></figure>Saturday`s Serie A fixtures start with the relegation battle between Udinese and Salernitana, two teams in desperate need of a win, but they end up settling for a point each.

Monza`s consolation goal came from Andrea Carboni, who scoreed his first goal in 73 appearances in Serie A.<figure data-asset-id="8aaf396f-4456-48ca-a219-e3b137665849" data-image-id="8aaf396f-4456-48ca-a219-e3b137665849"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/19533541-5c13-44f2-8811-295c51b2a6dc/Senza-titolo-3.jpg" data-asset-id="8aaf396f-4456-48ca-a219-e3b137665849" data-image-id="8aaf396f-4456-48ca-a219-e3b137665849" alt=""></figure>In the late 20:45 CET match, Torino and Fiorentina played in a balanced but uneventful game, ending in a 0-0 draw. Torino secure their ninth clean sheet of the season, matching Bologna, Inter, and Nice in the top five European leagues; considering only first halves, only Inter and PSG have conceded fewer goals than Torino in the first 45 minutes. Fiorentina obtain their second consecutive away draw, slipping 9 points behind fourth-placed Bologna.&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="006b99d4-b1d0-46f2-a7f7-b79bb0825e3d" data-image-id="006b99d4-b1d0-46f2-a7f7-b79bb0825e3d"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b4d9054a-61c7-41fe-9a13-21330e9ae5dc/21953044_large.jpg" data-asset-id="006b99d4-b1d0-46f2-a7f7-b79bb0825e3d" data-image-id="006b99d4-b1d0-46f2-a7f7-b79bb0825e3d" alt=""></figure>Sunday`s lunchtime match between Hellas Verona and Sassuolo awarded crucial points for survival. At the Bentegodi, the hosts prevail with the first Italian goal by Karol Świderski, the Polish striker who arrived in Veneto from MLS in January. The Scaligers confirm their good relationship with their home crowd, achieving their fourth home win out of five in Serie A TIM. The Neroverdi suffer their sixth consecutive away defeat, plunging into the solitary penultimate position, as reflected by their poor recent form: with only one point in the last eight games, considering the second half of the season, Sassuolo would be bottom of the table.<figure data-asset-id="56de112d-3857-46b0-9d44-c8e319dcf78e" data-image-id="56de112d-3857-46b0-9d44-c8e319dcf78e"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e07a159a-94a1-42c8-9437-4c97cc0be1e7/21953761_large.jpg" data-asset-id="56de112d-3857-46b0-9d44-c8e319dcf78e" data-image-id="56de112d-3857-46b0-9d44-c8e319dcf78e" alt=""></figure>The two matches scheduled at 15:00 CET pit all the remaining teams against each other in the fight to avoid relegation.Cagliari accomplished a feat at Empoli and return to Sardinia with their first away victory of the season. The Rossoblu inflict the first defeat of the Nicola era on the Tuscans, with Jakub Jankto scoring the first Sardinian goal, again present in Serie A since 2 May &nbsp;2021, against Roma with a Sampdoria`s jersey. With Jankto`s goal in the 69’, both Empoli and Cagliari remain the only two clubs not to have scored in the first half in 21 out of 27 games this season. Ranieri`s men breathe a sigh of relief but remain third from bottom, while Nicola`s blues see their margin earned in the last 6 games vanish, leaving them just 2 points above the safety line.<figure data-asset-id="a8f01d0d-82fb-4d22-bdb2-dfeab3317d35" data-image-id="a8f01d0d-82fb-4d22-bdb2-dfeab3317d35"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a313062f-2b7b-42af-b67a-2ce79a9d369e/Senza-titolo-1.jpg" data-asset-id="a8f01d0d-82fb-4d22-bdb2-dfeab3317d35" data-image-id="a8f01d0d-82fb-4d22-bdb2-dfeab3317d35" alt=""></figure>At the Benito Stirpe in Frosinone, the home team under Di Francesco once again missed out on victory against Lecce. The Ciociari take the lead with Walid Cheddira`s goal, scoring in two consecutive matches, but the Salentini equalize with the help of luck: Krstović`s missed penalty hits Cerofolini`s back and ends up in the net for the final 1-1 draw. Frosinone halt a run of four consecutive defeats, remaining the top scorers among the teams currently in the bottom half of the table; D`Aversa`s Giallorossi collect their fifth away point of the season, matching Frosinone, and only bettered by Salernitana (2) and Sassuolo (4).<figure data-asset-id="25945e8c-e061-40a5-aee4-2b81cb2894c1" data-image-id="25945e8c-e061-40a5-aee4-2b81cb2894c1"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/586171d6-4699-43a6-8909-ceb0a9c657e5/Senza-titolo-2.jpg" data-asset-id="25945e8c-e061-40a5-aee4-2b81cb2894c1" data-image-id="25945e8c-e061-40a5-aee4-2b81cb2894c1" alt=""></figure>The standout performance of the day came from Bologna, who during the 18:00 CET match at the Gewiss Stadium, the Bolognese overcame Gasperini`s Atalanta, ending a streak of 7 consecutive home wins for the Bergamo side. Thiago Motta`s Rossoblu consolidate fourth place, going 5 points clear of La Dea, a gap entirely built with two victories in the matches with the Orobici. The Emilians` success comes from behind – after Lookman`s initial goal – with <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/bologna-scores-2-goals-in-4-minutes-13h11gaohf046n">2 goals in 4 minutes</a>: Zirkzee converted a penalty to make it 10 in the league, then Ferguson punishes Atalanta as in the first leg.

Calzona`s first joy at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona coincides with Napoli`s fifth consecutive home win against the Bianconeri, a streak never achieved before by the Campanian club. Khvicha - again on target in two consecutive games - and Giacomo - nemesis of Juventus, with his fourth career goal against the Piedmontese, including the decisive one in last year`s 1-0 victory - are the architects of Napoli`s second consecutive Serie A success, a result that puts the Azzurri in contention for a Champions League spot. Allegri, who fielded his youngest starting XI at the Maradona Stadium (26 years and 14 days), returns to Turin without the three points for the third consecutive away game.<figure data-asset-id="8557ef9c-6155-4bbd-8726-6e6da4c6e637" data-image-id="8557ef9c-6155-4bbd-8726-6e6da4c6e637"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/d6bd0af5-1346-47b2-b6be-90b8d1a637ff/21959491_large.jpg" data-asset-id="8557ef9c-6155-4bbd-8726-6e6da4c6e637" data-image-id="8557ef9c-6155-4bbd-8726-6e6da4c6e637" alt=""></figure>Matchday 27 concluded with the late match between Inter and Genoa. The league leaders prevail 2-1 over the Ligurians with the first goal in Inter`s shirt by Kristjan Asllani and Alexis Sanchez`s first in this league, bringing the number of seasonal scorers in Serie A TIM to 16. Simone Inzaghi secures the ninth consecutive victory, equaling Conte`s Inter record from 2010/11 and surging 15 points ahead of second-placed Juventus. Genoa fail to catch up with Monza in twelfth position, maintaining a 10-point gap from the relegation zone.<figure data-asset-id="23f80699-515a-4920-a545-1bed5c8c9069" data-image-id="23f80699-515a-4920-a545-1bed5c8c9069"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3ef78e19-f190-4b08-bcb4-d06e76619cf5/21960773_large.jpg" data-asset-id="23f80699-515a-4920-a545-1bed5c8c9069" data-image-id="23f80699-515a-4920-a545-1bed5c8c9069" alt=""></figure>The next round of the league returns on Friday, 8 March, at 20:45 CET with Napoli vs. Torino, while Lazio vs. Udinese conclude the Matchday 28 program on Monday, 11 March, at 20:45 CET.Review all the goals of the 27th matchday, <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-27-13h1ho729g5747">click here</a>.(Photo LaPresse)
