Shomurodov's triumph: A Serie A Round 26 summary (photo)

The 26th round of the Italian Serie A took place. The following results were recorded in the matches of this round.

Shomurodov helps "Roma" defeat "Monsa"

Right from the start, the "wolves" were close to scoring, as Pisilya sent a wayward shot after Shomurodov's pass. Ranieri's disciples continued to launch attacks and soon opened the scoring. After Shomurodov's assist, Salemakers placed the ball into the net with a curling shot from outside the penalty area. After that, the character of the game did not change; the "giallorossi" kept their opponent under pressure and, as expected, scored again. After Saul's pass, Shomurodov headed the ball into the net, marking "1+1" in the first half. It should be noted that Eldor was generally very active and justified the coach's trust remarkably. "Monsa," on the other hand, could not come up with anything in attack. However, at the end of the half, Svilar saved the team from going a goal down after Ganvulan's shot.

Nothing changed after the break; Pisilya had a great opportunity, but Turati eliminated the danger from close range. Nevertheless, a goal occurred when Cristante found Anxelinoni with a brilliant pass inside the penalty area, and he delivered an excellent shot into the far corner. However, that was not all; after Dybala brought the ball into play from a corner, Cristante sent a precise header to establish the final score. "Roma" is getting closer to the European Cup zone thanks to their opponents' mistakes, while "Monsa" appears to be in a dire situation. Only a miracle can keep this team in the top division.

"Inter" snatched the victory

The start of the match was very dull, with both teams more focused on ball possession than creating dangerous situations. The only notable moment was Masini's long-range shot. "Inter" did not manage to get a clear shot on goal, with only Pavar making a good move from outside the penalty area, but the ball didn't even reach the goal. It was clear that something needed to change.

After the break, Taremi replaced Correa, and the game became more interesting. After a pass from the Iranian, Pavar attempted a scissors kick, which Leali managed to save. Soon after, Barella delivered a brilliant shot that hit the post, and Taremi was just inches away from executing a scissors kick. "Inter" was increasingly opening up, but they could also concede a goal. After a free kick, Ekuban sent a fantastic shot, but Martinez timely cleared the ball out of play, eliminating the danger. However, "Inter" executed a brilliant set piece, with Lautaro heading the corner kick into the net, scoring his 10th goal in Serie A. In any case, the "Nerazzurri" secured a hard-fought victory and are now leading the table due to "Napoli's" misfortunes.

"Torino" defeated "Milan"

The start of the match left the "rossoneri" in despair. After the ball was thrown in, Menyan left the penalty area and, while trying to retrieve the ball, collided with Tshauga, allowing the ball to roll into the net. Gradually, "Milan" regained control of the game and began to create chances, with Ximenes delivering a very good shot. Soon after, the club earned a penalty for a handball by Ricci in the penalty area. Pulishich approached the ball, but he couldn't beat Milinkovich-Savich, as the Serbian goalkeeper saved 4 out of 5 penalties this season, the best record in the top 5 leagues. By the way, the "bulls" were not idle either, as Menyan easily dealt with Vlashich's shot.

After the break, "Milan" continued their attack, with Reyders delivering excellent shots, and Milinkovich-Savich performing well again. He soon saved a dangerous shot from Feliks, but he had no chance against Reyders' powerful shot from inside the penalty area. It seemed that Conceicao's disciples were about to switch to attack, but instead, they countered their opponents' attacks. Sanabria executed a quick free kick and passed the ball to Gineytis, who sent an excellent shot into the far corner, leaving Menyan helpless. The "rossoneri" tried to apply pressure at the end of the game, but nothing came of it, and the crisis is becoming increasingly evident.

"Komo" defeats "Napoli"

In the 6th minute, a strange event occurred when Rrahmani, without looking, executed a pass to the empty goal of Meret, resulting in a foolish own goal. After that, "Napoli" naturally went on the attack, trying to create chances; in the 20th minute, the score could have been 1:1 due to the own goal, but the ball returned from Perrone's foot still flew over the goal. Nevertheless, the pressure from the "partenopei" paid off, as Raspadori went one-on-one with the goalkeeper and delivered an excellent shot. Soon after, Lukaku delivered a good header, but the ball went past the post.

The visitors continued their attack, and after the break, Raspadori found Maktominay in the penalty area with a brilliant pass, but he shot over the goal. Anguissa had a good opportunity, as the Cameroonian player accurately targeted the goalkeeper after an excellent pass from Politano. The guests increasingly shifted to attack, resulting in them missing a counterattack. A pass from Diaogo was excellently delivered, he controlled the ball with one touch, and with a second delicate shot, he accurately directed the ball into the corner. Ultimately, Rrahmani could have redeemed himself and scored against the opponent's goal, but he lacked a bit of luck. "Napoli" continues to decline, while "Komo" deserves only applause.

"Atalanta" defeats "Empoli"

The Bergamasques started the game with a shot, as Zappakosta delivered a dangerous long-range shot in the 5th minute, which the goalkeeper saved. By the way, Karnesek had to get involved as well, saving the team after a powerful shot. However, the visitors increased their advantage, and it eventually turned into a goal. After a brilliant pass from Lukman, Zappakosta directed the ball into the net, but it deflected off Gyassi and went in as an own goal. Shortly after a corner kick, Posh delivered a shot next to the post. The pressure continued, as Jimsiti headed the ball far away from a cross, and Rettegi scored, placing the ball into the net. He himself provided an excellent pass to Lukman at the end of the half, and Lukman deceived the goalkeeper and, from a few centimeters away, shot the ball into the net in a mocking manner.

Nothing changed after the break, as the Bergamasques continued to break through the Tuscan defense. De Ron provided Lukman with the ball as he entered the penalty area, and he delivered a powerful shot. Soon after, the forward was substituted, and Gasperini did not extend his hand to him. Apparently, the controversy did not cease after the talk about the penalty. Zappakosta, however, still registered his name in the protocol. At the end of the game, he passed through the wing and delivered an excellent shot from the edge of the penalty area, establishing the final score.

Also:
- "Juventus" is strong against "Cagliari".
- "Verona" defeats "Fiorentina".
- "Venice" and "Lazio" are drifting apart.
