9:00 AM: Serie A Recap

Genoa 1-1 Inter Milan -?A goal apiece on the stroke of half-time meant that Genoa and Inter Milan, two teams with very distinct agendas this season, split the points on Friday night. Marko Arnautovic put Inter ahead in the 42nd minute, only for Radu Dragusin - who might have played his final game for Genoa after being approached by Tottenham Hotspur - to equalize minutes later. As such, league leaders Inter dropped crucial points, presenting Juventus with the opportunity to close the gap between them.?

Lazio 3-1 Frosinone -?Three goals in the final 20 minutes of the match allowed Lazio to come from a goal down and beat Frosinone 3-1. The visitors took the lead minutes before the hour-mark through Juventus loanee Matias Soule. However, Lazio hit back twice in two minutes, with Valentin Castellanos levelling the score in minute 70 and Gustav Isaksen putting his team ahead in minute 72. Patric sealed the points with a third goal late on.?

Fiorentina 1-0 Torino -?A goal from centreback Luca Ranieri, seven minutes from the end, helped Fiorentina beat Torino, 1-0, and maintain their UEFA Champions League qualification charge. La Viola dominated proceedings, attempting twice as many shots as the visitors before they were rewarded for their persistence. With four wins and a draw in their last five, they are, along with Inter and Bologna, the division's most in-form team.?

Napoli 0-0 Monza -?Wasteful Napoli spurned the chance to close the gap between them and the final UEFA Champions League spot on Friday night, after being thwarted by ten-man Monza. Napoli attempted 25 shots across the 90-minute match, with nine hitting the target, but none were able to find their way past Monza's imperious custodian Michele Di Gregorio. The reigning champions remained seventh, merely four points ahead of 11th-placed Monza.
