Hello my friends. Here are the results of the Serie A Week 18 – Eighteenth Round on Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 January 2016.
It’s a Happy New Year for some and not a good start for others. The first game in 2016 is the famous Derby della Lanterna on Tuesday between Genoa vs Sampdoria. The happy day is for Sampdoria winning the Derby and set themselves with a positive feeling for the new year. Genoa risking going down to the relegation zone.
Inter continuing their winning road in 2016. It’s definitely a good year for Coach Roberto Mancini leading his team for the Scudetto and this round keeping the sole leadership after defeating Empoli at the Carlo Castellani Stadium with a 0 – 1 result.
A good 2016 start is also for Juventus rocking big time. Juventus defeating Hellas Verona with a 3 -0. It’s just a fast run towards the top places for Juventus. Verona remaining in the last position of the Serie A and its by now total crisis. Juventus climbing all the way to the 3rd position with 36 points just 2 points below Fiorentina!
A flop is for AC Milan losing the home game in San Siro against Bologna. There are no words to describe the decadence of once the great AC Milan and only a shadow today. Great start for Bologna defeating Milan with 1 goal by Emanuele Giaccherini in the 82nd minute.
Bad news is also for Palermo falling at the Renzo Barbera Stadium, totally humiliated. It is Fiorentina to claim full victory with a 1 – 3 result.
We might consider another flop. It is the goalless match Lazio 0 – 0 Carpi. On paper, Lazio were supposed to win the home game at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium considering the team to be technically above Carpi who are struggling for salvation.
The top scorer up to Round 17: Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain with 16 goals

It’s chaos for AC Milan! It’s not a Happy New Year 2016 for Milan starting the year with a defeat at the San Siro Stadium. Bologna causing an upset to claim the victory. What makes it even a painful defeat is that it is the ex AC Milan player Roberto Donadoni now coaching Bologna to give a headache to his ex team. Simply put, Milan fans protesting and demanding changes.
A precious victory for Bologna seeing their chances for salvation closer.
It is Bologna forward Emanuele Giaccherini to score the only goal of the match and enough to win the game. The goal arriving in the 82nd minute with Giaccherini defeating AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma with a right footed shot in the center. The assist is by Anthony Mounier.
