&lt;p&gt;2024 has begun in scintillating fashion for Serie A TIM fans: the action just keeps on coming, with the latest round of fixtures having brought the first half of the 2023/24 season to a close.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s now time to take a closer look at what happened at the weekend, starting with Friday night’s fixture where, at the Dall’Ara, two up-and-coming coaches came up against each other: Bologna’s Thiago Motta and Genoa’s Gilardino. The visitors took a first-half lead through Gudmundsson (eight goals and two assists in 17 Serie A TIM appearances so far this campaign), but Lorenzo De Silvestri, who had come on for Posch in the 87th minute, scored a stoppage-time equaliser to rescue a point. Following this draw, Bologna remain in fifth place with 32 points from 19 matches (it’s been a brilliant first half to the campaign for the Rossoblù), while Genoa have consolidated their position in midtable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/659d079d/21752708_large (1).jpg&#34; alt=&#34;21752708_large (1).jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saturday, meanwhile, was characterised by plenty of goals and important results. In the lunchtime kick-off, Inter emerged victorious to become the Winter Champions for the 18th time in the club’s history (they went on to win the league on ten of the previous 17 occasions). At San Siro, Inzaghi’s side beat Verona after a thrilling encounter with an incredible finale. Following Lautaro Martinez’s 13th-minute opener (the Nerazzurri captain’s 16th goal this Serie A TIM season) following his return from injury, the visitors equalised through Henry, who had just taken Djuric’s place, after 74 minutes. Then, in added time, Frattesi restored Inter’s advantage after a mistake by Montipò. Just when the match seemed to be over, Darmian fouled Magnani in the box, meaning Verona were awarded a penalty. Henry stepped up and sent Sommer the wrong way but hit the post.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Frosinone vs. Monza was also a very entertaining encounter. At the Benito Stirpe, the visiting side took a three-goal lead (Dany Mota, Valentin Carboni and an own goal by Soulé) before the hosts showed real pride to get back into it in the second half thanks to goals from Harroui and Soulé (from the penalty spot). Despite their heart and commitment, Di Francesco’s team weren’t quite able to complete the comeback, with the Brianzoli coming away with three points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/659d079c/21754126_large (1).jpg&#34; alt=&#34;21754126_large (1).jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, at the Via del Mare, Lecce and Cagliari played out a draw. The Giallorossi took the lead in the 31st minute through Gendrey but were pegged back by Gaetano Oristanio’s 68th-minute equaliser. In the end, both teams picked up an important point: Lecce now sit on 21 points in 13th place (level with Genoa), while Ranieri’s side, who have 15 points to their name, have moved out of the relegation zone and are 17th.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The day then finished with a surprising result: Dionisi’s side picked up a vital win thanks to Pinamonti’s early finish. The former Inter, Frosinone, Genoa and Empoli striker’s seventh goal of the 2023/24 Serie A campaign was enough to overcome Fiorentina, who, however, remain at the upper end of the table in fourth place with 33 points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/659d079a/21756937_large.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;21756937_large.jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The latest round of league fixtures came to an end with Sunday’s matches. The lunchtime kick-off saw Pioli’s AC Milan record their second consecutive victory after comfortably beating Andreazzoli’s Empoli 3-0 at the Castellani. The goals were scored by Ruben Loftus-Cheek (his second in Serie A TIM after previously finding the net away to Cagliari), Giroud (from the penalty spot) and Chaka Traorè in the closing stages. It’s been an incredible week for the latter, who is just 19 years old: in addition to netting his first league goal, he bagged in the Coppa Italia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the 15:00 CET kick-offs, meanwhile, Lazio and Torino both picked up an important three points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In front of their home crowd, the Granata ran out 3-0 winners over the Champions of Italy thanks to goals from Sanabria, Vlašić and Buongiorno. Torino have finished the first half of the season with 27 points, while Napoli’s poor form continues: Mazzarri’s side sit ninth with 28 points out of a possible 57.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/659d0797/21760060_large.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;21760060_large.jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for Lazio, Vecino ended up deciding the match in their favour after Walace (59’) had cancelled out Pellegrini’s early opener directly from a free-kick. Vecino, who had come on for Kamada at half-time, bagged the winner in the 76th minute to move Sarri’s men up to seventh place on 30 points. The Biancocelesti now sit ahead of Roma and level with Atalanta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/659d0af4/21760117_large (1).jpg&#34; alt=&#34;21760117_large (1).jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allegri’s Juventus remain hot on the heels of Inter: after thumping Salernitana 6-1 in the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa, the Bianconeri also came away with a late victory at the Arechi following a lively and hard-fought affair.
