Italy
The Italian A-Series leader Turin’s “Juventus” attack leader Christian Ronaldo broke out on Friday in the 28th round with a goal and two assists, contributing to his team’s convincing success.
Juventus won one of the weakest teams in the league “Lecce” at home with 4: 0 (0: 0).
The visitors’ central defense should have had no trouble clearing the pass to Ronaldu, but the Real player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead.
In the 32nd minute, the guests remained with ten men, as the last man left in the defense, Fabio Lucioni, violated the rules for which he received a red card. In the first half, the Turin Club failed to take advantage of the numerical superiority.
Ronaldu caught everyone by surprise with a unexpected volley after 80 minutes, but Paulo Dibalam was as surprised by the move as anybody else, and managed to miss the extraordinary opportunity. Less than ten minutes later, Ronaldo broke into the penalty area, but his opponents stopped him with a penalty. Portugal hit the “pendulum” right in the middle of the goal – 2: 0.
Ronaldu earned his second score in the 83rd minute when he put two defenders in the penalty area, but Gonsalo Igvainam played the ball shortly after, increasing the lead to three. Two minutes later, Matijss de Lihts managed to control the ball from the left of the goal post, ensuring his team’s convincing success (4: 0).
Shortly after the announcement of the break in the season, Igvan went to his native Argentina to visit his sick mother. Later, the footballer did training in May and suffered a leg injury, but on Friday he scored on the scoreboard six minutes after leaving the field.
“My legs feel good and I managed to score. Now we have to save energy for the next games, “said Igvains.
Juventus’ success has led to a more secure lead in the tournament table, while Lecce is on the verge of relegation and every next point is important to the team.
Three duels are scheduled for Saturday in the Italian A series.
With 68 points in 28 games, Juventus are in first place, Rome’s Lazio is seven less, one duel less, and Milan’s Inter is following with 58 points in 27 matches. After 27 rounds of play, Bergamo “Atalanta” takes the fourth position with 54 points, “AS Roma” has earned 48 points, but “Napoli” with 42 points finishes the leading six.
Spain
The Spanish football championship team “Sevilla” on Friday only pulled the draw at the very end of the game, which still allows to maintain the fourth position and hopes for the UEFA Champions League.
Sevilla played a 1: 1 (0: 1) draw with Valladolid’s Real.
The guests were the first to take the lead, who got the opportunity to fulfill the standard situation in the 25th minute. Michel’s midfield goal was to reach Kiko, who was fouling his head. Four minutes earlier, Lukass Okamposs could have achieved 1: 0, but the Seville player’s shot hit the goal post.
Sevilla managed to score in the tenth minute of the second half, but the referee pointed out after a while that the “goal” scored by Munira el Hadidi would not be counted due to the back position.
By the 80th minute, both teams had already reached two yellow “patches”, but Okamposs saved their team from the unfavorable result of the game in the 83rd minute. The attacker entered the 11-meter mark after the Real defender played with his hand on the penalty area.
The victory of “Sevilla” with 54 points allows to maintain the fourth place in the tournament table, giving this position the opportunity to play in the UEFA Champions League group tournament next season.
On Saturday, four matches are scheduled for the Spanish championship, including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
After 31 games with 68 points, Real Madrid takes first place, while direct competitor Barcelona has the same number of points. Madrid’s Atletico have scored 55 points, one less than 32 games for Sevilla, but Getafe is fifth with 49 points and one point ahead of Villarreal.
