Serie A Roundup — Week 33

Whomever said that the race for the Scud­etto was over, spoke too soon. Inter Milan suf­fered a stun­ning 1–0 loss on the road to Napoli. Ex-Juve striker Marcelo Zalayeta scored in the 73rd minute to give Napoli the win and extend Inter’s win­less streak to 3 games. The loss was the Nerazzurri’s 3rd of the sea­son and may have opened the door to 2nd place AC Milan to chal­lenge Inter for the Scudetto.

AC Milan con­tin­ues its fierce late sea­son charge with a 3–0 win at the San Siro over Palermo. 2 PK goals from Kaká and another score from Super Pippo Inza­ghi gave Il Rossoneri the win. Milan extended their unbeaten streak to 7, hav­ing won 6 in that span. AC Milan has pulled 2 points ahead of Juven­tus and moved to within 7 points of their league lead­ing arch rivals.

Fiorentina moved into 4th place and the last Cham­pi­ons League spot with an impres­sive 4–1 win at home ver­sus fel­low Cham­pi­ons League spot con­tender, Roma. A dou­ble by Alberto Gilardino helped I Viola to the 3 points. Fiorentina leaped over Genoa after Genoa lost 2–0 to Bologna on the road. Marco Di Vaio scored his league lead­ing 21st goal for Bologna in the victory.
