Hello, my friends. Here are the 2021-2022 Italian Serie A Week 15 RESULTS / Fifteenth Round on Tuesday 30 November, Wednesday 1, and Thursday 2 December 2021.
✅ 10 Serie A Games completed
⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 15 (Updated on Thursday 2 December 2021)
===============
The top part of the ranking changes, with the first three who are positioned in a row at a distance of just one point: Napoli 36, Milan 35 and Inter 34. A little further down, at 31, there is Atalanta. The championship lights up and offers great emotions, with a balance at the top that hasn’t been seen for years. Milan and Inter have won their respective matches against Genoa and Venezia.
Sassuolo surviving the challenge stopping the leaders after ending the Serie A Week 15 game with a much suffered draw at the Mapei Stadium. Napoli, despite the draw, grab an away point keeping the sole leadership with 36 points followed by AC Milan with 35 points, and Inter with 34 points.
Genoa needed to win the Serie A Week 15 game against AC Milan to dream with salvation at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. Yet, it is AC Milan to grab this away victory reaching 35 points to keep up the race for the Scudetto being -1 point below Napoli with 36 points and Inter with 34 points. Genoa Coach Andriy Shevchenko facing his ex-team as coach for the first time with this flop.
Inter with a sprint race winning the Serie A Week 15 game against Spezia at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. For Spezia, this defeat is alarming remaining with 11 points while risking falling down into the relegation zone.
Salernitana losing the Serie A Week 15 game against Juventus at the Arechi Stadium. After defeats to Chelsea and Atalanta, Juventus returning to the winning path claiming this away victory reaching 24 points. Salernitana not finding the light at the end of the tunnel remaining in the last position with only 8 points.
Hellas Verona failing to win the Serie A Week 15 game against Cagliari ending with a goalless draw at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium. Cagliari grabbing this golden point reaching 9 points. Igor Tudor has won all of his first five Serie A home games as manager of Verona and can become the second foreign manager to achieve six wins in his first six home games with a single team in the three-point-a-win era, after Leonardo ( who did 12/12, with Inter in 2011).
Fiorentina rushing to climb toward the top 5 positions winning the Serie A Week 15 game defeating Sampdoria at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. Fiorentina winning two of their last seven Serie A home games against Sampdoria (2-1 in September 2019): three draws and two Sampdoria successes, in a partial in which both teams have always found the goal.
Atalanta with a sprint race to climb towards the top 3 positions. Atalanta win the Serie A Week 15 game crushing Venezia with a poker at the Gewiss Stadium. Atalanta win seven consecutive games against newly promoted teams in Serie A for the first time in their history.
What a precious victory for Bologna being -1 points below AS Roma after winning the Serie A Week 15 game at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. A flop for AS Roma slowing down to climb towards the top 3 positions. It’s an emotional game for Sinisa Mihajlovic facing the team with which he made his debut as a player in Serie A (Roma in 1992/93). A reason for Bologna to celebrate because the last time Bologna collected at least 24 points in the first 15 Serie A games was back in 2002/03 (27).
Torino celebrating their 115 years ending the Serie A Week 15 game against Empoli with a draw at the Olimpico Torino Stadium in Turin, Italy. To celebrate its 115 years of history, on Thursday 2 December against Empoli, Torino wearing a special shirt to honor such an important milestone.
Lazio ending the Serie A Week 15 game with a draw against Udinese at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. We might consider a good result for Lazio considering they were losing the game to save at least 1 point.

AC Milan opening the score in the 10th minute. Forward Zlatan Ibrahimović defeating Genoa goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu with a right footed free kick shot to the bottom right corner. Special goal because Ibrahimović, at 40-years old, has equaled Silvio Piola as the top scorer in the Serie A history counting only the goals scored after turning 38 years old (31 goals).

✅ Stats before the game. AC Milan have won six of their last nine Serie A matches against Genoa (2D, 1L), after losing four of the previous five (1W). Milan have remained unbeaten in their last four away games against Genoa in Serie A (3W, 1D) and have not recorded an unbeaten streak of at least five away games against Grifone in the tournament since the one between 1989 and 2007 (seven – 1W , 6D). Milan have conceded 16 goals in the last nine league matches (a clean sheet), they had only collected two in the previous nine Serie A games (seven clean sheets). Genoa have not found the goal since the arrival of Andriy Shevchenko: the Ukrainian could become the fourth manager in the 21st century without goals for his team in all the first three Serie A benches (after Somma in 2005, Longo in 2018 and Grosso in 2019). Zlatan Ibrahimovic is on 152 goals in Serie A, just one length from 26th place in the competition’s top scorer ranking currently held by Stefano Nyers and Hernán Crespo – he could also join Filippo Inzaghi (73) as 10th top scorer in Serie A with the Milan shirt (the Swede is 72 in the Rossoneri).
