MEMORABLE MOMENT:Milan-Udinese 3-2. Season 2009/2010. Round 24.
The match was brought forward to the Friday night ahead of the Rossoneri’s first-leg last-16 Champions League tie versus Manchester United. The ultra-attacking line-up launched by Leonardo was firing on all cylinders right from kick-off. Huntelaar found the breakthrough early on with a header thanks to an assist from Ronaldinho and the Brazilian was involved again to set up fellow countryman Pato for the team’s second. Floro Flores pulled one back for the hosts just before the first half whistle, but Huntelaar netted his second of the night in the second half to restore the team’s two-goal cushion. Di Natale scored a late consolation goal but it was Milan that came away with maximum points at the final whistle.

Sassuolo had the chances to equalize the score in the 87th minute. Referee Calvarese giving a penalty to Sassuolo conceded by Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan after a foul on Sassuolo midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini. Roma remaining with 10 players because Calvarese gave the second yellow card to Nainggolan making it an automatic red card. Here is the unthinkable episode! Forward Domenico Berardi having the chance of his life to equalize, sadly for Sassuolo fans, Berardi failing to convert the penalty because his left footed shot hit the bar!!
Say no more. Game over! The Roman gladiators just sealing the match in extremis with the goal by forward Stephan El Shaarawy defeating goalkeeper Consigli with a right footed shot in the center. The assist is by new Roma player Diego Perotti.
