Following Bologna`s recent result, Lazio also provided a boost to Juventus by dropping points in a disappointing 2-2 home draw against Parma. The Biancocelesti found themselves having to chase the game for most of the match, as Parma established a commanding 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Ondrejka in the 3rd and 46th minutes. Maurizio Sarri`s side eventually found a response after Pedro`s introduction in the second half, with the veteran forward scoring twice in quick succession in the 79th and 84th minutes to finally level the score at 2-2.
In another late fixture from Matchday 34, Cagliari secured a crucial 2-0 away victory against Verona at the Bentegodi stadium. Goals from Leonardo Pavoletti and Alessandro Deiola sealed the points for the Sardinians. This important win significantly enhances Cagliari`s bid for Serie A survival.
Consequently, these results mean Juventus remains firmly in fourth position in the Serie A table. The Old Lady now holds a one-point lead over Bologna, a two-point cushion over both Roma and Lazio, and a three-point advantage over Fiorentina.
