Pisa 0-3 Como
Máximo Perrone played a key role in Como 1907’s 3-0 victory over Pisa in their Serie A match at the Arena Garibaldi. This result extended Pisa’s winless streak to eight games (three draws, five losses) and marked their fourth consecutive home defeat without scoring.

Sassuolo 0-3 Juventus
Jonathan David contributed both a goal and an assist as Juventus comfortably defeated Sassuolo 3-0 at the Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore. This marked their eighth win in their last 10 games across all competitions.

Napoli 2-2 Verona
Napoli recovered from a 2-0 deficit to prevent one of the biggest upsets of the Serie A season, drawing 2-2 with relegation-threatened Hellas Verona.
