Hello my friends. Here are the Serie A RESULTS for Week 19 on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 January, 2015. Juventus leading with 46 points followed closely by AS Roma reaching 41 points after a draw with Palermo.
It’s a major blow for Lazio losing the third position after being defeated by Napoli at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Lazio went down all the way to the 5th position! Napoli grabbing the 3rd position.
Another upset is AC Milan losing the home game against Atalanta with the winner goal delivered by forward German Denis. It’s just a crisis for this agonizing Milan failing every chance to climb towards the 3rd position which is now a “mirage, a dream.”
Parma again going down to the 20th position after losing the home match at the Ennio Tardini Stadium against Sampdoria.
The top scorer up to Round 19: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez with 13 goals

It’s just a goalless draw 0 -0 between Empoli and Inter. Empoli keeping up a strong front without conceding goals after many giving Inter as favorites to win the match. Yet, Inter failing to claim the full 3 points on their quest to climb towards the top 3 positions. We might say it is a positive draw for Empoli, but not for Inter.
