&lt;p&gt;On a matchday characterised by five missed penalties - so many haven’t been spurned in 60 years in the Italian top flight - a lot of the teams in the top half of the table were involved in draws, something which Inter, Atalanta and Roma took advantage of. In the bottom half, meanwhile, Monza and Genoa both recorded vital victories to put real distance between themselves and the relegation zone. Let’s take a closer look at what happened on matchday 22.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On an emotional evening where Gigi Riva was remembered, Friday saw &lt;strong&gt;Torino&lt;/strong&gt; overcome Cagliari thanks to two goals in yet another strong first half: Juric’s men haven’t conceded in the opening period in 19 of their 21 league games this campaign. The men to get the goals were Duván&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Zapata&lt;/strong&gt;, who bagged for the first time on the road, and 22-year-old Samuele&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Ricci&lt;/strong&gt;. For the Sardinians, Viola’s gem wasn’t enough to avoid a first home defeat since the start of October 2023.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;abc87880-057d-4e65-a3de-4b85bec6891c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;abc87880-057d-4e65-a3de-4b85bec6891c&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/5f3ee4ce-a39d-4e40-aa4c-dde4508e7ca1/21822648.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;abc87880-057d-4e65-a3de-4b85bec6891c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;abc87880-057d-4e65-a3de-4b85bec6891c&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta maintained their push for a top four place by getting the better of Udinese on Saturday afternoon. De Ketelaere&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;was directly involved in the goals scored by &lt;strong&gt;Mirančuk&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Scamacca&lt;/strong&gt;, providing his fifth and sixth assists of the season to move to within one of the leaders Giroud and Thuram in the assist charts. La Dea have now won five consecutive matches at the Gewiss Stadium, while the Friulani have picked up a single point from their last four matches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;0e4c3d7c-2ff3-4d50-b9b5-8bc65e915f00&#34; data-image-id=&#34;0e4c3d7c-2ff3-4d50-b9b5-8bc65e915f00&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/650cfef9-5df1-48e2-ad60-72af6f2edd7c/21824542.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;0e4c3d7c-2ff3-4d50-b9b5-8bc65e915f00&#34; data-image-id=&#34;0e4c3d7c-2ff3-4d50-b9b5-8bc65e915f00&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt; drew with &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt; in Turin and were thus unable to maintain their advantage over Inter (albeit having played a game more) before next week’s Derby d’Italia showdown. The Bianconeri, who were reduced to ten men in the 18th minute following Milik’s sending-off, took the lead through the unstoppable &lt;strong&gt;Vlahovic&lt;/strong&gt;, who bagged for the sixth time this month. However, they were then pegged back by &lt;strong&gt;Baldanzi’s precise low strike. &lt;/strong&gt;Nicola, who has achieved impossible feats before, has led the Tuscans to four precious points in his first two matches in charge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;cbd278a1-bd31-4180-b469-92c11eeac20b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;cbd278a1-bd31-4180-b469-92c11eeac20b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/cac4681d-124c-4449-94a8-ebed3ad90ca7/21825637.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;cbd278a1-bd31-4180-b469-92c11eeac20b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;cbd278a1-bd31-4180-b469-92c11eeac20b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Saturday evening, &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt; missed out on the chance to gain on the top two. The Rossoneri, who missed two penalties during their match against Bologna at San Siro, fell behind following &lt;strong&gt;Zirkzee’s &lt;/strong&gt;opener but hit back with two goals from &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/it/media/serie-a/loftus-cheek-inarrestabile-13fj9m52klnech&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Loftus-Cheek&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. However, the visitors rescued a point thanks to an Orsolini spot-kick late on. AC Milan were thus unable to make it five league wins in a row, while the Rossoblù are still looking for their first victory in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;555e5f32-8f34-4d40-ab79-f3a9c6d57af8&#34; data-image-id=&#34;555e5f32-8f34-4d40-ab79-f3a9c6d57af8&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/752d2f4e-420b-46f9-9dee-af9398aee7d8/21825908.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;555e5f32-8f34-4d40-ab79-f3a9c6d57af8&#34; data-image-id=&#34;555e5f32-8f34-4d40-ab79-f3a9c6d57af8&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genoa&lt;/strong&gt; extended their unbeaten run to seven by coming from behind to beat Lecce at the Ferraris. &lt;strong&gt;Krstović&amp;nbsp;had a penalty saved before putting the away side in front.

It was the Italian’s seventh goal at home this campaign, with no player having done better in this regard (Vlahovic and Lautaro also have seven). Dionisi’s men have now lost twelve times this campaign and sit just one point above the drop zone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;d7b6af3e-56cb-4915-9a03-c6c8747b0cd5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d7b6af3e-56cb-4915-9a03-c6c8747b0cd5&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/f21b7139-cd41-4df9-ac8a-09ffbe08611d/21827053.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;d7b6af3e-56cb-4915-9a03-c6c8747b0cd5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d7b6af3e-56cb-4915-9a03-c6c8747b0cd5&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Bentegodi, Verona’s penalty woes continued as &lt;strong&gt;Duda&lt;/strong&gt; failed to convert from the spot, meaning they became the first team to miss four consecutive penalties in Serie A. However, after a second penalty award, &lt;strong&gt;Tomáš Suslov&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;stepped up to score his first goal in Italy and end the Gialloblu’s curse. Kajo Jorge then equalised in the second half for Frosinone, who have gone two games without defeat for the first time since September.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;95d85cf6-6327-4965-9165-d6ce21c4e4ed&#34; data-image-id=&#34;95d85cf6-6327-4965-9165-d6ce21c4e4ed&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8bdf3225-c25d-4e0e-8a2e-1a37a0b02c76/21827129.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;95d85cf6-6327-4965-9165-d6ce21c4e4ed&#34; data-image-id=&#34;95d85cf6-6327-4965-9165-d6ce21c4e4ed&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;After their exertions in the EA SPORTS FC Supercup, &lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt; failed to lay a glove on each other. Indeed, the game’s first shot on target only arrived in the 75th minute. Lazio, who didn’t concede a shot on target for the entire match, have now kept two consecutive clean sheets in Serie A TIM. Napoli, meanwhile, failed to score for the seventh time in their last ten league matches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b8696a4b-4e9d-4b5c-96d2-43d00404b0b9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b8696a4b-4e9d-4b5c-96d2-43d00404b0b9&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/90320ada-234d-4cb9-be92-e0d4f8b60a18/21827661.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b8696a4b-4e9d-4b5c-96d2-43d00404b0b9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b8696a4b-4e9d-4b5c-96d2-43d00404b0b9&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Sunday evening, &lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt; beat &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt; following a thrilling encounter. The winner was scored by &lt;strong&gt;Lautaro Martinez&lt;/strong&gt;, who has found the net 19 times in the league this campaign and become the first Nerazzurri player since Christian Vieri to bag so many goals in the opening 21 matches of a single season. &amp;nbsp;Simone Inzaghi’s side have nine away victories to their name in 2023/24, while the Viola are still without a win this calendar year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;865101c4-d2e8-4c45-88c5-0262f480be27&#34; data-image-id=&#34;865101c4-d2e8-4c45-88c5-0262f480be27&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/6f8a88b9-253f-4558-9e1c-fc7a29849858/21827894.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;865101c4-d2e8-4c45-88c5-0262f480be27&#34; data-image-id=&#34;865101c4-d2e8-4c45-88c5-0262f480be27&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The latest round of league fixtures came to an end at the Arechi in &lt;strong&gt;Salerno&lt;/strong&gt;, where &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt; recorded their second consecutive win since Daniele De Rossi took charge. &lt;strong&gt;Dybala&lt;/strong&gt; scored a penalty and &lt;strong&gt;Pellegrini&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;doubled the Giallorossi’s advantage, before &lt;strong&gt;Kastanos&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;pulled one back for the home side.

Dionisi’s men have now lost twelve times this campaign and sit just one point above the drop zone.<figure data-asset-id="d7b6af3e-56cb-4915-9a03-c6c8747b0cd5" data-image-id="d7b6af3e-56cb-4915-9a03-c6c8747b0cd5"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/f21b7139-cd41-4df9-ac8a-09ffbe08611d/21827053.jpg" data-asset-id="d7b6af3e-56cb-4915-9a03-c6c8747b0cd5" data-image-id="d7b6af3e-56cb-4915-9a03-c6c8747b0cd5" alt=""></figure>At the Bentegodi, Verona’s penalty woes continued as Duda failed to convert from the spot, meaning they became the first team to miss four consecutive penalties in Serie A. However, after a second penalty award, Tomáš Suslov&nbsp;stepped up to score his first goal in Italy and end the Gialloblu’s curse. Kajo Jorge then equalised in the second half for Frosinone, who have gone two games without defeat for the first time since September.<figure data-asset-id="95d85cf6-6327-4965-9165-d6ce21c4e4ed" data-image-id="95d85cf6-6327-4965-9165-d6ce21c4e4ed"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8bdf3225-c25d-4e0e-8a2e-1a37a0b02c76/21827129.jpg" data-asset-id="95d85cf6-6327-4965-9165-d6ce21c4e4ed" data-image-id="95d85cf6-6327-4965-9165-d6ce21c4e4ed" alt=""></figure>After their exertions in the EA SPORTS FC Supercup, Lazio and Napoli failed to lay a glove on each other. Indeed, the game’s first shot on target only arrived in the 75th minute. Lazio, who didn’t concede a shot on target for the entire match, have now kept two consecutive clean sheets in Serie A TIM.

The winner was scored by Lautaro Martinez, who has found the net 19 times in the league this campaign and become the first Nerazzurri player since Christian Vieri to bag so many goals in the opening 21 matches of a single season. &nbsp;Simone Inzaghi’s side have nine away victories to their name in 2023/24, while the Viola are still without a win this calendar year.<figure data-asset-id="865101c4-d2e8-4c45-88c5-0262f480be27" data-image-id="865101c4-d2e8-4c45-88c5-0262f480be27"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/6f8a88b9-253f-4558-9e1c-fc7a29849858/21827894.jpg" data-asset-id="865101c4-d2e8-4c45-88c5-0262f480be27" data-image-id="865101c4-d2e8-4c45-88c5-0262f480be27" alt=""></figure>The latest round of league fixtures came to an end at the Arechi in Salerno, where Roma recorded their second consecutive win since Daniele De Rossi took charge. Dybala scored a penalty and Pellegrini&nbsp;doubled the Giallorossi’s advantage, before Kastanos&nbsp;pulled one back for the home side.
