Serie A Roundup, Matchday 29
Matchday 29 of the 2024/25 Serie A season showcased thrilling matches, surprising results, and remarkable performances from several players. This Serie A roundup provides an overview of the games from this round.
Genoa 2-1 Lecce
Genoa maintained their unbeaten head-to-head record against Lecce at home, extending it to 10 matches with a 2-1 win at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, which solidified their mid-table standing in Serie A. Patrick Vieira’s team is likely to enjoy a relaxed end to the season. In contrast, the Giallorossi are still at risk, sitting only three points above the relegation zone.
Udinese 0-1 Verona
Hellas Verona significantly improved their chances of staying in Serie A by creating a seven-point cushion between themselves and the relegation zone, thanks to a 1-0 win against Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium. This victory also represents their third away league clean sheet since early September 2024.
Monza 1-1 Parma
A late equalizer from Ange-Yoan Bonny prevented AC Monza from securing their first win in nine league matches, resulting in a 1-1 draw with Parma as both teams fight to avoid relegation in Serie A. This disappointing result keeps Monza at the bottom of the table, still 10 points away from safety, while Parma is not in the clear either, sitting just three points above the relegation zone.
AC Milan 2-1 Como
AC Milan rallied to win 2-1 against Como at San Siro, extending their unbeaten head-to-head streak to 14 matches dating back to the 1984/85 season. This victory marked only the third time this season that Milan has achieved consecutive league wins, while Como’s winless streak extended to three games.
Torino 1-0 Empoli
Torino continued their impressive performance, suffering only one loss in their last 12 Serie A games, by securing a 1-0 victory at home against relegation-threatened Empoli. The single goal was sufficient for Torino to earn all three points and solidify their spot in 11th place. On the other hand, Empoli stays in the relegation zone, three points away from safety.
Venezia 0-0 Napoli
Napoli faced a setback in their quest for the Scudetto as they were held to a draw by a resilient Venezia team in an exciting match at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo. Napoli’s draw, their seventh of the season, gives an advantage to Inter Milan in the title race. On the other hand, Venezia remains five points away from safety.
Bologna 5-0 Lazio
Bologna dominated their top-four competitor Lazio with a 5-0 win at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, achieving their fourth consecutive Serie A victory for only the second time in 55 years. This match also marked their largest win against Lazio since February 1958. As a result, Bologna moved ahead of Lazio and Juventus into fourth place.
AS Roma 1-0 Cagliari
AS Roma achieved their sixth consecutive Serie A win by defeating Cagliari 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico, extending their unbeaten streak in home matches against them to 10, which includes eight clean sheets. The Giallorossi moved ahead of AC Milan into seventh place, now only four points away from the top four. On the other hand, the visitors are four points above the relegation zone.
Fiorentina 3-0 Juventus
Juventus experienced their first consecutive Serie A losses since February 2024, losing 3-0 to Fiorentina at Stadio Artemio Franchi. Fiorentina earned a crucial victory, their second in six league games, as they aim to move closer to the European qualification spots.
Atalanta 0-2 Inter
Inter increased their lead at the top of the Serie A table to three points with a 2-0 victory over third-placed Atalanta, marking Atalanta’s third defeat to the Nerazzurri this season without scoring in any competition. Inter capitalized secured the win just four minutes before the end, as Martínez scored by firing the ball past Carnesecchi, ending a streak of four away league matches without a win, even though Bastoni received a red card in stoppage time. Meanwhile, Atalanta, who also had Gasperini sent off, is still in search of their first Serie A home win of 2025.
