Serie A Matchday 12: Udinese vs. Bologna

Bologna continues to show that they are capable of big things in Serie A, defeating Udinese 0–3 with three second-half goals.

Despite the scoreline, it was a balanced match with plenty of chances for both sides, and the ‘Rossoblù’ could have taken the lead in the 41st minute. However, Maduka Okoye saved Riccardo Orsolini’s penalty.

In the second half, Tommaso Pobega became the standout player. First, he scored with a low shot into the corner in the 54th minute to open the scoring, and then struck again in the 59th minute after Okoye gifted him the ball.

Federico Bernardeschi sealed the match, scoring his first goal since returning to Italian football after three years in MLS. The 31-year-old midfielder took advantage of a defensive error to make it 0–3 in the 90+4 minute.

With the win, Bologna are now fifth in the league with 24 points, just three behind the leaders. Meanwhile, Udinese sit in 10th place with 15 points.

Result: Udinese 0-3 Bologna

Serie A Matchday 12: Napoli vs. Atalanta

Napoli remain a serious title contender and this time defeated Atalanta 3–1, scoring all of their goals in the first half.

David Neres was the standout player of the match with a brace. The first came in the 17th minute after a deep pass from Rasmus Hojlund that allowed the Brazilian to use his speed, enter the box, and finish comfortably to the side. His second goal arrived in the 38th minute, this time from the left with a powerful, cross-body shot.

Before the end of the first half, Noa Lang found the net with a header from a Giovanni Di Lorenzo cross, making it 3–0 and seemingly securing the victory for the hosts.

Early in the second half, Gianluca Scamacca pulled one back in the 52nd minute with a strong right-footed finish after a cross from Raoul Bellanova, but it was not enough.

With the win, Napoli climbed to third place with 25 points, while Atalanta remains stuck in 13th with only 13 points.

Result:Napoli 3-1 Atalanta

Serie A Matchday 12: Cremonese vs. Roma

The new sole leader of Serie A is Roma, who defeated Cremonese 1–3 away and took advantage of Inter’s loss.

Argentine forward Matías Soulé opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a great left-footed strike from the edge of the box.

It wasn’t until after the hour mark that the other goals arrived. In the 64th minute, after a couple of rebounds and short passes inside the box, Evan Ferguson extended the lead, and in the 69th minute it was Wesley’s turn, he received a long pass, sprinted forward, and chipped the ball over the goalkeeper to make it 0–3.

Already in added time, at 90+3, Francesco Folino scored the consolation goal with a header from a corner kick.

Roma now sit alone at the top with 27 points and scored more than two goals in a match for the first time this season. Cremonese, meanwhile, are 11th with 14 points.

Result: Cremonese 1-3 Roma

Serie A Matchday 12: Inter vs. Milan

In the Derby della Madonnina, Milan rose to the occasion and defeated Inter 0–1, knocking their rivals off the top of the table.

The only goal was scored by Christian Pulisic in the 54th minute, after a mid-range shot from Alexis Saelemaekers was saved by Yann Sommer, leaving the American open to capitalize on the rebound and score.

But that wasn’t all, in the 74th minute, Hakan Calhanoglu had a penalty, but Mike Maignan stretched out to save both the shot and the rebound.

Inter tried everything, but Maignan and the posts denied them repeatedly, causing them to lose the top spot and drop to fourth place. Milan, meanwhile, is now second with 25 points, one ahead of their neighbors and two behind Roma.

Result: Inter 0-1 Milan
