Matchday 22 of the Serie A featured a series of games that reflected the current state of the championship: high intensity, teams that refuse to abandon their style, and an increasingly close battle at the top and middle of the table. Between lopsided matches, surprises, and agonizing comebacks, the weekend once again justified why this tournament is considered one of the most competitive in the world.

The clubs immersed in the European battle faced key duels, pressured not to lose ground, while those with more modest aspirations also fought hard to strengthen their position in the standings. The combination of goals, controversial refereeing in some clashes, and influential tactical decisions reinforced the value of every point scored in the calendar.

Further down the table, several teams continued their efforts to avoid future complications, showing that the middle stretch of the season often separates those who aspire to something more from those who will have to prepare for a much more uncomfortable fight.

Serie A Matchday 22 Roundup: Inter vs. Pisa

Inter staged a stunning comeback to secure an impressive 6-2 victory over newly promoted Pisa, who, despite being bottom of the table, surprised San Siro early on. The visitors took advantage of the opening minutes with an unexpected brace from Stefano Moreo, a Milan youth product, who scored in the 11th and 23rd minutes, silencing the stadium and leaving the leaders reeling after a difficult week in Europe.

Inter’s response came from the bench when Cristian Chivu decided to make a change in the 34th minute, bringing on Federico Dimarco. The full-back came on fired up and was directly involved in the moves that allowed the team to turn the score around before halftime, changing the dynamic of the game and leaving Pisa reeling after dreaming of a monumental upset.

In the second half, the difference in class became enormous. Inter unleashed a relentless offensive onslaught and sealed the victory with a show from Dimarco, who scored a spectacular volley that hit both posts before going in, as well as the final contributions from Bonny and Mkhitaryan in the closing stages of the match. The result left the leaders reinforced and Pisa punished with a score that was exaggerated given their performance in the first half, on an afternoon that confirmed Inter’s dominance in Serie A.

Inter solidified its place at the top of the standings with 52 points from 17 wins, one draw, and four losses. Meanwhile, Pisa remains in the relegation zone with 14 points from one win, 11 draws, and 10 losses.

Result: Inter 6–2 Pisa

Serie A Matchday 22 Roundup: Como vs. Torino

Como put on one of the most overwhelming performances of the season, defeating Torino 6-0, a victory that brings them seriously closer to Champions League spots. The team led by Cesc Fàbregas had been on a solid run and, after dominating Lazio the previous week, repeated their absolute authority against an opponent that never found answers. Throughout the 90 minutes, the home side was superior in intensity, organization, and offensive clarity.

Como showed remarkable maturity, both tactically and emotionally, reflecting the identity that Fàbregas has instilled in the dressing room: ambition, order, and offensive aggression. The absence of Nico Paz on the scoreboard did not prevent the team from displaying its football, as his influence between the lines created spaces for players such as Douvikas, Baturina, Da Cunha, Khun, and Caqueret to punish the Granata side relentlessly.

Douvikas was the star with a brace (8′ and 66′), accompanied by a goal from Baturina and a penalty converted by Da Cunha. In the final stretch, Khun and Caqueret sealed the victory with authority, the latter with a sensational volley from outside the area. With this victory, Como reached 40 points, settling into fifth place and solidifying their candidacy for a top-level European spot.

Result: Como 6–0 Torino

Serie A Matchday 22 Roundup: Juventus vs. Napoli

The match between Juventus and Napoli was billed as the most exciting fixture of the day in Italy, pitting two teams locked in a battle for Champions League spots against each other. From the outset, Juve set the tone for the game with their aggressive play and constant search for the opponent’s goal. A left-footed shot from Khephren Thuram crashed against the post, warning of what was to come, until in the 22nd minute, a brilliant backheel assist from Locatelli left Jonathan David in a clear position to make it 1-0.

Napoli tried to react in the second half, but they lacked precision in the final third and their offensive momentum ran out of steam. Hojlund tried his luck without success, and it was only through Cabal, who came on as a substitute, that the visitors were able to threaten the opposition’s area again. However, the final blow came as a result of a defensive error: Juan Jesus gave the ball away in a critical area, and Yildiz made it 2-0 after a run and an elegant finish in the 77th minute.

With Napoli throwing everything forward, Filip Kostic sealed the 3-0 victory with a left-footed shot into the corner. Juventus were more solid, more intense, and more direct, sending a clear message on a key day for the top of the table.

Juventus now sits 5th in the standings with 12 wins, six draws, and four losses, closing in on Napoli, which sits fourth with one point more than Juventus.

Result: Juventus 3–0 Napoli

Serie A Matchday 22 Roundup: Roma vs. Milan

Roma and Milan ended the match with a 1-1 draw that reflected the balance of the game. After a goalless first half, but with chances at both ends, the game opened up in the second half. Roma created danger through Donyell Malen and Manu Koné without scoring, while Milan opted for long-range shots and set pieces until they broke the deadlock from a set piece.

The 0-1 came in the 62nd minute when Koni de Winter won the ball in the area after a corner kick taken by Luka Modric, putting the Rossoneri ahead and forcing Roma to push up and take more risks. The capital side responded twelve minutes later: a penalty for a handball by Davide Bartesaghi was converted by Lorenzo Pellegrini with a shot close to the post for the final 1-1.

The final minutes saw an exchange of unsuccessful attempts, with set pieces and crosses that were always met by well-positioned defenders. Milan finished with 47 points in their fight to close in on Inter, while Roma moved to 42 and remained in contention for European places after an intense and evenly matched contest.

Result: Roma 1–1 Milan
