Hello my friends. Here are the Serie A RESULTS for Week 17 on Monday 5 and January 6, 2015. We are resuming the Serie A after the Christmas Break and these are the first games in 2015.
Juventus ended 2014 as sole leader of the Serie A with 39 points after defeating Cagliari with a 1-3. Juventus commanding the Serie A and being the only Serie A team in Champions League. Juventus struggling in the Derby d’Italia seeing an all Argentinian Tango draw reacing now 40 points being only 1 point ahead of AS Roma. First, it is Juventus forward Carlos Tevez to open the score against Inter in the 5th minute. In the second half, it is Inter forward Mauro Icardi to equalize in the 64th minute. Referee Luca Banti giving a red card to Inter midfielder Mateo Kovacic in the 86th minute after a foul on Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner.
AS Roma keeping up the race for the Scudetto after defeating Udinese at the Friuli Stadium with the goal by defender Davide Astori in the 11th minute.
Highlight in this round is the super victory by Palermo crushing Cagliari with a 5-0 at the Renzo Barbera Stadium. It was the debut of Cagliari coach Gianfranco Zola who had replaced coach Zdenek Zeman. A total blow and a debut to forget, a nightmare.
A happy news is for Sassuolo fans. Super way to start the New year 2015 by defeating AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium. It’s a step back for Milan on their quest to reach the 3rd position failing big time.
Parma defeating Fiorentina jumping from the 20th to the 19th position. Bad start for Fiorentina ending the game with 9 players. Referee Damato giving a RED CARD to Fiorentina defenders Gonzalo Rodriguez in the 79th minute and Stefan Savic in the 86th minute both after getting two yellow cards.
The top scorer up to Round 17: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez with 11 goals
