Serie A Round Up 26/1/13

Written by Matthew Winter

Juventus 1-1 Genoa
Juventus missed out on the chance to pull 8 points clear at the top of Serie A after they were held to a 1-1 draw against Genoa. Although having the lions share of the ball throughout the first half there was no break through. But in the 54th minute Fabio Quagliarella put the home side ahead after stabbing home a cross. Things weren't all going the home sides way and the visitors levelled with 20 minutes remaining. Former Juventus player Borriello stooped to head home a far post cross from Kucka.

Lazio 0-1 Chievo
Chievo won for only the third time this season on their travels and this by far their most impressive. Facing 3rd place Lazio the home side dominated a lot of the possession and could of taken the lead on many different occasions. But it was the away team who took their chance when it came. After the ball came back off the crossbar Paloschi was there to slam the ball into the Lazio net and Chievo hung on for a famous victory.
