Serie A Roundup, Matchday 25
Matchday 25 of the 2024/25 Serie A season showcased thrilling matches, surprising results, and remarkable performances from players. This Serie A roundup provides an overview of the games from this round.
Bologna 3-2 Torino
Dan Ndoye’s two goals helped Bologna maintain their unbeaten streak at 10 matches, as they rallied from behind to secure their third win of 2025 with a 3-2 victory against Torino in Serie A.
Atalanta 0-0 Cagliari
Atalanta had a disappointing goalless draw with Cagliari in Serie A, marking the first time since January 2013 that a match between these teams ended in a tie. The dropped points may hinder Atalanta’s chances of catching up to Napoli and Inter Milan in the title race, while Cagliari’s third away match without a loss in their last four keeps them five points clear of the relegation zone.
Lazio 2-2 Napoli
Napoli ended their away match against Lazio in a 2-2 tie, marking their third unsuccessful effort to secure a win in this fixture this season. Napoli currently holds a two-point advantage over Inter and has extended their unbeaten streak in away league games to 12. Meanwhile, Lazio is in a precarious position; despite gaining a hard-fought point, they have fallen to 5th place.
AC Milan 1-0 Verona
AC Milan achieved consecutive victories in Serie A for the first time since September, thanks to Santiago Giménez’s second-half goal that led them to a tough 1-0 win against Verona. This goal was crucial, as even with Verona’s late attempts to equalize, the Rossoneri remained resilient, marking their ninth straight win in head-to-head matchups against Verona.
Fiorentina 0-2 Como
Assane Diao played a key role in helping Como break their three-match losing streak in Serie A by scoring the opening goal in their 2-0 victory over Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Como secured three important points, achieving their first clean sheet away from home in the league, which is a positive development for Cesc Fàbregas as his team moves five points clear of the relegation zone, now sitting in 13th place. On the other hand, Fiorentina’s consecutive losses have cast a shadow over their season, leaving them in sixth place.
Udinese 3-0 Empoli
Following a streak of six home games without a win, Udinese has secured consecutive victories at Stadio Friuli, achieving a 3-0 win against Empoli. This outcome means that the visitors have not won in their last 10 Serie A matches.
Monza 0-0 Lecce
Alessandro Nesta’s initial move upon returning as the coach of AC Monza was a modest achievement, as the Biancorossi halted a four-game losing streak by securing a 0-0 draw against fellow Serie A team US Lecce at the Brianteo Stadium. Monza supporters will likely be pleased to see their team earn at least one point, but they still find themselves 7 points adrift of 17th-place Empoli.
Parma 0-1 AS Roma
AS Roma extended their unbeaten streak in Serie A to nine matches by defeating 10-man Parma 1-0 in an away game, achieving their second consecutive clean sheet of the season. Although Roma struggled to secure a second goal in the final moments to fully settle the match, they still earned their sixth league victory in nine games, bringing them closer to the European spots.
Juventus 1-0 Inter
Juventus clinched a place in the Serie A top four with a hard-fought 1-0 win against Inter Milan in the Derby d’Italia at Allianz Stadium, preserving their unbeaten home record this season with 13 matches. Inter’s disappointing league performance continues, with just one win in their last four matches, missing the chance to move to the top of the table ahead of Napoli. Conversely, this victory is crucial for the Bianconeri, as it marks their third straight home league win this season.
Genoa 2-0 Venezia
Genoa scored two late goals to clinch a 2-0 win against Venezia at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, leaving the Winged Lions still searching for a win after eight matches. Vieira’s team managed to secure three points, moving them up to 11th place in the Serie A standings. On the other hand, Venezia’s struggle to avoid relegation is becoming more challenging, as Eusebio Di Francesco’s squad now finds themselves five points away from safety.
