AS Roma brought back three points in extremis (1-0) from their trip to poorly ranked La Spezia on Sunday during the 27th day of Serie A. The Romans, who are returning to success after three consecutive draws in the league , rise to 6th place.
Long held in check by a team from La Spezia (16th) yet reduced to 10 from the 45th minute, José Mourinho’s team had to wait until the end of additional time to snatch victory on a penalty from Tammy Abraham (90 +9).
In the evening (8:50 p.m.), Naples (3rd) can take the lead if they succeed at Lazio (6th), taking advantage of the draws of Milan and Inter on Friday.
A week after resisting Naples, Cagliari won on the lawn of Torino (2-1) and left the red zone, which Venice found after its defeat at Hellas Verona (3-1). Cagliari’s very good start to 2022 continues. After notably beating Atalanta (2-1) at home and holding Napoli in check (1-1) at home, the Sardinians climb to 17th place.
Cagliari opened the scoring through Raoul Bellanova (21st), but the Turinese equalized through Andrea Belotti (54th), before Alessando Deiola (62nd) gave victory to Walter Mazzarri’s team. After a disastrous start to the season, the Sardinians have taken 15 points in eight games since the resumption in January.
They are three points ahead of Venice (18th), beaten 3-1 at Hellas Verona, who could count on their striker Giovanni Simeone, author of a hat-trick (54th, 63rd, 88th). Venice scored by David Okereke (81st). Hellas is now 9th, four points from the top European places.
