Chievo Verona losing the lead after Captain Sergio Pellissier opened the score in the 36th minute, Pellissier scoring his 5th goal this season. The game ending with a nightmare. Yep, an unwanted own goal by defender Bostjan Cesar resulting in the equalizer goal for Udinese and the third consecutive lost.
Udinese, practically, getting a favor thanks to the ow goal by Cesar avoiding to lose the third consecutive game. Tough situation for Udinese Coach Andrea Stramaccioni seeing Udinese winning only 1 game in the last 10 games!

What a disappointing Derby della Madonnina!!!!! It was supposed to be a super mega Milan Derby because Inter and AC Milan not only battling for the bragging rights to rule the city of Milan, but also to get closer to Europa League next season. It’s almost a mirage, but mathematically speaking, Europa is still possible… though with this draw it’s more a “Good Bye Europa” than a reality. Overall, Inter had the best part, but goals did not make it. Tough lesson for these 2 Milanese teams…. total flop!
Well, this is it Referee Luca Banti whistles the start of the match…… let’s roll the ball!!!!!!! UEPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Captain for Inter in this Milan Derby is defender Andrea Ranocchia. Captain for AC Milan is defender Ignazio Abate.
Shaking hands before the match, Inter Captain Andrea Ranocchia and AC Milan Captain Ignazio Abate
Inter sending the first signal to Milan. In the 11th minute a miraculous save by Milan goalkeeper denying midfielder Hernanes to score by saving his left footed shot in the top right corner. It’s corner for Inter….
Oh my gosh.. up to the 12th minute it is Inter to dominate the Milan Derby. Wondering whether AC Milan will react?
Goals not arriving. First yellow card of the match is for Inter midfielder Gary Medel after a foul on AC Milan defender Ignazio Abate in the 28th minute.
Milan getting their first yellow card in the 33rd minute after midfielder Nigel De Jong commits a foul on Inter midfielder Mateo Kovacic.
Who will score first? We are not seeing goals, but more yellow cards. In the 36th minute it is Inter defender Juan Jesus to get a card….
This Milan Derby up to the 43rd minute not showing a top match.. it’s win win for any……
In the 49th minute … Jérémy Menez is caught offside. A minute later, 50th minute Inter midfielder Hernanes tries a through ball, but forward Mauro Icardi is caught offside. And when are the goals arriving???
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… we want goals!!!!
In the 58th minute, Milan seeing their chances to score blocked! Forward Jérémy Menez attempts a right footed shot in vain from outside the box only to be blocked.
In the 67th minute Inter replacing midfielder Assane Demoya Gnoukouri with midfielder Joel Obi.
In the 72nd minute, Referee Banti disallowed the own goal by Milan defender Philippe Mexes… Banti ruling out the goal after few minutes after considering the foul before the goal by Palacio on Antonelli… Mamma mia, what a decision! Inter fans were already celebrating the goal and then PUFF…..
Oops, problems for Milan and it is a forced substitution for injury.. In the 73rd minute defender Gabriel Paletta replacing defender Alex .. cannot continue.. clearly. . injured.
AC Milan adding fresh energy to the attack by replacing forward Suso in the 73rd minute to bring forward Mattia Destro.
In the 77th minute Inter making a substitution. Midfielder Mateo Kovacic is replaced by forward Xherdan Shaqiri.
Inter continuing with the pressing… In the 79th minute there it is the assist by Hernanes to defender Juan Jesus delivering a left footed shot and goalkeeper Diego Lopez saves in the bottom right corner.
Well, desperate final minutes and Milan making the last substitution in the 81st minute with forward Alessio Cerci replacing midfielder Andrea Pioli.

AS Roma failing big time to win this home game against Atalanta to get back to the 2nd position. Roma lost the 2nd position last week when they got the 1-1 draw against Torino. This week, hello, again another draw. Simply put, Roma wasted the chance to claim back the 2nd position despite reaching 58 points just like Lazio. Juventus defeated Lazio on Saturday remaining with 58 points, but goal difference are in favor of Lazio with +28 and Roma with +19. Roma fans at the end booing the team to express their disappointment.
A moment of hope. Referee Gervasoni giving a penalty to Roma in the 3rd minute conceded by Atalanta defender Guglielmo Stendardo after a handball in the penalty area. It is Roma captain Francesco Totti to convert the penalty defeating Atalanta goalkeeper with a right footed in the bottom left corner.
The situation for Roma complicates in the 23rd minute. Atalanta getting a penalty conceded by Roma defender Davide Astori after a foul on Atalanta midfielder Urby Emanuelson. It is forward German Denis to equalize the score converting the penalty defeating Roma goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner.
Stats at the Olimpico Stadium in favor of Roma. Out of the 72 precedents, Roma with 34 wins, 14 draws, and Atalanta with only 4 draws.
Here is AS ROMA official starting lineup by coach Rudi Garcia:
AS ROMA (4-2-3-1): De Sanctis; Torosidis, Yanga-Mbiwa, Astori, Cholebas; Paredes, Nainggolan; Florenzi, Ljajić, Iturbe; Totti.

Referee Calvarese giving a penalty to Sassuolo in the 45th minute just before ending the first half. Penalty conceded by Torino defender Kamil Glik after a foul on forward Antonio Floro Flores. Taking the penalty spot is forward Domenico Berardi and there you go…. GOALLLL Berardi converting the penalty with a left footed shot defeating Torino goalkeeper Daniele Padelli in the bottom right corner. It’s the 11th goal for Berardi this season.
Torino equalizing the score in the 58th minute also via a penalty and just crazy… Yep, same protagonists. This time it is Torino forward Antonio Floro Flores to concede the penalty after a foul on defender Kamil Glik. It is Torino forward Fabio Quagliarella to convert the penalty defeating Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli with a right footed shot in the top right corner. This is the 12th goal for Quagliarella this season.
