Resumen de la jornada 21 de la Serie A: Pisa vs. Atalanta

The match between Pisa and Atalanta ended in a draw after a tense finish. After an uneventful first hour of play, the scoreboard finally lit up in the final stretch: in the 82nd minute, Nikola Krstovic took advantage of his entry from the bench to put the visitors ahead with a precise finish. Atalanta seemed to be on their way to victory, but Pisa was quick to react.

Four minutes later, the final equalizer arrived. Rafiu Durosinmi, another second-half substitute, received the ball in the area and finished with determination to make it 1-1 and set up a thrilling finale. The home side ended the game with greater intensity, but was unable to score the goal that would have completed the comeback.

After the point, Pisa remains in a precarious position in 19th place, while La Dea remains seventh and in the thick of the battle for Europe. The next matchday will take Pisa to San Siro to face Inter, while Atalanta will host Parma.

The Argentine striker was the star of the show: in addition to the goal, he created constant danger and ended the match with four shots on goal, making him the most decisive player of the night. At the other end, goalkeeper Maduka Okoye was the standout player for Udinese, making five saves to prevent a bigger scoreline.

Resumen de la jornada 21 de la Serie A: Nápoles vs.Sassuolo

At the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Napoli secured a hard-fought victory against a persistent but inaccurate Sassuolo side. The goal came early: in the sixth minute, Stanislav Lobotka made a solo run down the right and fired home from inside the box to break the deadlock.

From then on, the match took an unusual turn: Sassuolo accumulated chances and offensive volume, but lacked effectiveness. The visitors ended up with 20 shots, 14 of them on target, but were unable to beat Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, who was decisive with four key saves. Napoli’s defense held firm in the final stages and managed to close out the result without any major scares.

The victory keeps Napoli in the upper echelons of the table: the Azzurri have 43 points and remain third, while Sassuolo are in 12th place with 23 points. In the next round of fixtures, Stellini’s side will visit Juventus, while Fabio Grosso’s side will host Cremonese.

Result: Napoli 1–0 Sassuolo

Resumen de la jornada 21 de la Serie A: Cagliari vs Juventus

The surprise of the day came from Cagliari, who took advantage of their home field to defeat a lackluster Juventus 1-0, who struggled to convert their chances. The match was intense from the start, with the Sardinian team competing aggressively and forcing mistakes from an opponent who never felt comfortable.

The only goal of the game came in the 65th minute: Luca Mazzitelli connected with a pass from Gianluca Gaetano and calmly finished to spark celebrations at the Arena Sardegna. From then on, Juventus pushed forward and loaded the area, but attempts by Jonathan David, Kenan Yildiz, and Loïs Openda failed to find the target.

Juve remain fourth with 39 points, and with Roma lurking in the fight for Europe, while Cagliari climb to 13th with 22 points, moving away from the relegation zone and gaining some breathing space to work with less urgency.

Result: Cagliari 1–0 Juventus
