Serie A battle for four fierce 0 1! 4-1!Roma dropped to sixth, Napoli were only seven points adrift!
Last night, there was another development in the semi-finals of the Italian league, with Atalanta and Bologna both picking up three points, while Napoli were eliminated by AC Milan and reached the last four.
Napoli will travel to AC Milan in this round, and the team is in the midst of a recovery after three consecutive wins. However, AC Milan have fared much better than Napoli. They had six wins and two draws in their previous eight league games, which was the best in the league at the time.
And this was also confirmed in this game. In the 25th minute, Rafael Leao played a diagonal pass to Te'o, who comfortably sent the ball into the back of the net as AC Milan beat Napoli 1-0 to end their eight-year unbeaten run on the road.
Atalanta are stronger than Napoli and this time they travel to Genoa, who won 4-1.
Atalanta continued their attack and at the 90th minute, they won 2-1. However, Atalanta did not stop there, taking advantage of the stoppage time advantage to extend the aggregate score to 4-1 with two goals from Davide Zappacosta and Toure.
Bologna, meanwhile, thrashed Lecce 4-0 away at Lecce to give the season's underdogs a second successive victory. Atalanta and Bologna are both home to Roma, which is not a good thing. Roma are four points behind Atalanta and Bologna and have now dropped to sixth. After losing away to Inter Milan, Roma's new boss De Rossi suffered his first defeat in charge, once again dimming hopes of fourth place in the league.
While the Romans were in trouble, Napoli's team was in a desperate situation. After losing to AC Milan in this game, they are only seven points away from Atalanta, and although the difference is not that big, the competition for the top four of the league is still very tight, and even if Atalanta are at a disadvantage, Napoli will find it difficult to reach the last four.
By current perspective, there are six teams battling it out to reach the last four of the First Division, including Atalanta and Napoli. The two teams are separated by seven points, but Atalanta have half the advantage. With a seven-point gap between the two teams, it stands to reason that both teams would have hopes of finishing in the top four, but Atalanta have half the advantage, and after this round, Atalanta have won four league games and are unbeaten in six games and are serious contenders for the last four. If Roma can quickly regain their competitive level, then they still have a chance of a comeback. For Napoli, it will be difficult for them to get back into form!
