The Italian Serie A championship is preparing for an unusual moment, with nine matches scheduled simultaneously, an event that hasn`t happened for almost 15 years. The last time was November 10, 2010, during a midweek round, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. When the whistle blows on May 18, exactly 5,303 days will have passed since that date.
On that day in 2010, the results were as follows: Napoli won 1-0 away at Cagliari, Chievo and Bari drew 0-0, Genoa beat Bologna 1-0, Milan defeated Palermo 3-1. Roma got the better of Fiorentina with a 3-2, while Inter drew 1-1 at Lecce. Cesena surprisingly defeated Lazio 1-0, Juventus drew 1-1 at Brescia, and Catania won 1-0 against Udinese.
To find an even rarer instance, with all ten league matches played simultaneously, one must go back even further in time, to May 9, 2010.
