Serie A Roundup: Inter March Toward Double As Roma Seal Wild Comeback

The Serie A run-in delivered another dramatic weekend as Inter Milan continued their dominance.

‎Juventus struck in record time, Como completed a stunning rise to Europe, and Roma staged one of the most chaotic late turnarounds of the season.

‎At the bottom, Cremonese reignited their survival hopes.

‎Lautaro Drives Inter’s Momentum Toward a Potential Double

‎Inter Milan may have already sealed the Scudetto. But there was no sign of complacency as Lautaro Martínez delivered another decisive display in a 3-0 victory over 10-man Lazio.

‎The Inter captain struck once, assisted another, and extended his lead in the Capocannoniere race with his 17th league goal of the season.

‎The opener came inside six minutes. Marcus Thuram’s flick from a long throw-in set up Lautaro for a sharp close-range volley.

‎Inter doubled their advantage shortly before halftime. Lautaro combined with Andy Diouf in a flowing left-side move before rolling the ball across for Petar Sucic to blast into the top corner.

‎Lazio’s hopes collapsed completely when Alessio Romagnoli received a straight red card midway through the second half for a studs-up challenge on Ange-Yoan Bonny an incident that could have caused serious injury. Henrikh Mkhitaryan added Inter’s third to complete the victory.

‎With the league already secured and the Italian Cup final against Lazio looming on Wednesday. Inter now stand on the brink of a memorable League Cup double.

‎Vlahović Scores Record-Breaking Goal as Juventus Edge Lecce

‎Dusan Vlahović stunned Lecce by scoring after just twelve seconds, producing Juventus’ fastest Serie A goal since records began in 2004-05.

‎His instinctive strike ultimately secured a narrow 1-0 win vital in the race for Champions League qualification.

‎Juventus had two further goals disallowed for offside in the second half. But they managed the match professionally.

‎The victory moved them into third place, one point above AC Milan and four clear of fifth-placed Roma. Lecce, meanwhile, remain just four points above the relegation zone and could face further danger depending on Cremonese’s result.

‎Racism Allegations Overshadow Cagliari’s Defeat

‎Cagliari’s 2-0 home loss to Udinese was overshadowed by troubling racism allegations after the final whistle. Udinese forward Keinan Davis claimed that Cagliari defender Alberto Dossena called him a “monkey” during the match. Dossena strongly denied the accusation, and both clubs publicly supported their players. While awaiting league investigation.

‎Cagliari remains nine points above the drop zone. But the incident cast a somber shadow over their survival campaign.

‎Como’s Fairytale Continues as European Qualification Is Secured

‎Seven years ago, Como were competing in Italy’s fourth division. Next season, they will play European football for the first time in their 119-year history and the Champions League is still within reach.

‎A 1-0 win away at Hellas Verona, sealed by Anastasios Douvikas, confirmed that Como will finish no lower than sixth, guaranteeing at least a Europa Conference League place.

‎Their meteoric rise began with the 2019 takeover by Indonesian billionaire brothers Robert Budi Hartono and Michael Bambang Hartono, and continued under the leadership of coach Cesc Fàbregas.

‎With Milan and Roma both dropping points. Como now sit just two points off the top four with two matches left. Their dream season may yet get even better.

‎Milan Booed as Fans Exit Early in Another Collapse

‎AC Milan endured a hostile evening at San Siro, where jeers echoed throughout the stadium and hundreds of fans exited early after Atalanta surged to a 3-0 lead just minutes into the second half.

‎Milan’s late rally almost produced an improbable comeback. With Strahinja Pavlović pulling one back and Christopher Nkunku converting a stoppage-time penalty.

‎Matteo Gabbia then came agonisingly close to a dramatic equaliser when his header skimmed wide in the dying seconds. The 3-2 defeat marked Milan’s fourth loss in six matches and further inflamed fan unrest.

‎

Roma Stage Extraordinary Stoppage-Time Turnaround

‎One of the weekend’s most dramatic matches unfolded at Parma, where Roma produced an incredible stoppage-time surge to win 3-2. Parma appeared to have sealed victory when Mandela Keita struck in the 87th minute, but Roma refused to fade.

‎Substitute Devyne Rensch equalised in the fourth minute of stoppage time before becoming central to the game’s final controversy. In a tussle with Parma’s Sascha Britschgi, both players fell to the turf.

‎The referee initially awarded Parma a free kick but reversed the decision after VAR review. And instead issued Britschgi a second yellow card and awarded Roma a penalty.

‎Donyell Malen converted in the 11th minute of stoppage time, completing the stunning comeback. And keeping Roma firmly in the Champions League race.

Vardy Boosts Cremonese Survival Bid

‎Jamie Vardy’s first goal since January arrived at the perfect moment for Cremonese as they secured a vital 3-0 win against relegated Pisa. Pisa’s discipline imploded early, with Rosen Bozhinov sent off after two yellow cards in 24 minutes.

‎Vardy struck shortly after, and Federico Bonazzoli extended the lead early in the second half. And Pisa was reduced to nine men when Felipe Loyola saw red for a reckless challenge.

‎David Okereke rounded off the scoring, moving Cremonese to within one point of safety.

‎Fiorentina and Genoa Secure Safety

‎The weekend concluded with Fiorentina and Genoa playing out a tense match. But an uneventful 0-0 draw was enough to mathematically confirm safety for both clubs.

‎With relegation anxieties eased, they can now plan for next season without pressure.
