👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Week 22 RESULTS / Twenty-second round on Friday 26, Saturday 27, Sunday 28, and Monday 29 January 2024.
Inter regained the top spot after defeating Fiorentina with 54 points. It is the “iconic Toro Bull” Argentinean Lautaro Martinez to score the only goal of the match to claim the full 3 points.
Juventus stepped down to the second place with 53 points after their 1-1 draw against Empoli. The first half saw the direct expulsion of Milik for a harsh challenge on Cerri. In the second half, Vlahovic finds the goal in front of goal, but Baldanzi freezes the Stadium with a shot from the edge of the area. Coach Davide Nicola continues his treatment, 4 points in two games, and Empoli is just one point behind Cagliari, now fourth from last.
AC Milan failed to claim the home victory ending with a draw. A brace from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and two penalties conceded by Referee Davide Massa and missed by Olivier Giroud and Theo Hernandez were not enough. Bologna snatched a point thanks to Zirkzee and a penalty from Orsolini in full injury time – awarded by VAR for a hold by the debutant Terracciano on Kristansen.
Atalanta’s overtaking mission is done after defeating Udinese. Temporarily, Atalanta are within the European zone after having achieved the fourth victory in the five matches played in 2024. Third defeat in the last four matches, however, for Udinese who thus remain just one point ahead of the relegation zone, in which they risk ending up.
The favorable moment continues for Genoa with their second consecutive victory, after the one in Salerno. Lecce, on the other hand, is suffering its third consecutive defeat and is unable to emerge from this negative period. Lecce first missed a penalty with Nikola Krstovic saved by goalkeeper Joseph Martinez. The redemption moment arrived for Krstovic scoring later the opening goal.
The pressure increased for Napoli who are out of the European zone. Lazio and Napoli ended with a goalless draw. One point for each team failed to get closer to the fourth place occupied by Atalanta. Lazio interrupted their streak of four consecutive victories in the league and moved within two points of the Champions League zone, while Mazzarri’s team catches up with Roma on 32 points, but remains in ninth place in the standings.

Genoa made a comeback and won the Serie A Week 22 game on Sunday 28 January 2024 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, Italy. The favorable moment continues for GGenoa with their second consecutive victory, after the one in Salerno. Lecce, on the other hand, is suffering its third consecutive defeat and is unable to emerge from this negative period.
The first half was dominated by the Giallorossi, with Lecce first missing a penalty with Nikola Krstovic saved by goalkeeper Joseph Martinez. The redemption moment arrived for Krstovic scoring later the opening goal.
In the second half, both teams came close to scoring, but Genoa had the upper hand, scoring two goals in just a few minutes. In the 70th minute, Gudmundsson took a perfect free kick, hitting the ball first onto the crossbar, then onto the goal line, where Retegui pounced and headed the score level. Six minutes later Vasquez hits the crossbar, Retegui is ready again on the rebound, and this time he passes to the center where Ekuban hits an overhead kick and doubles the score.
Genoa have only fallen at home twice (against Fiorentina and Milan), holding teams like Inter and Juventus to a draw. Lecce, on the other hand, far from the friendly walls has not yet won.
Nikola Krstovic defeated Genoa goalkeeper Josep Martínez with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Valentin Gendrey.

✅ Stats before the game: Lecce won the first leg against Genoa (1-0, 22 September 2023) and could beat Grifone two matches in a row for the first time in Serie A – the Apulian team had achieved only one success in the previous 14 matches against the Ligurians in the competition (5N, 8L). Genoa is unbeaten at home against Lecce in Serie A: five wins and two draws in the previous seven; in general, Grifone has more domestic precedents under its belt without ever losing in the competition only against Venezia (eight). Genoa lost their last Serie A match against Lecce without scoring, after having scored at least two goals in eight of the nine previous matches against the Apulian team in the competition; the last time that Grifone did not score in two consecutive league matches against this opponent dates back to 1998, in Serie B. Lecce have ended four of their last five Serie A matches with a defeat and without scoring, after having remained unbeaten in all the previous five; in the last five days of the championship, in fact, the Apulian team is the one that has collected the fewest points (one) and the only one that has not won even once.
