Serie A Daily Roundup: May 27, 2026 – Derby Drama, Milan Stunned, and a Title Race Heats Up
The Derby della Mole delivered everything but a winner as Torino held Juventus to a pulsating 2-2 draw at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, a result that could prove seismic in the Scudetto chase. Juve twice took the lead through Dusan Vlahović and Federico Chiesa, only to be pegged back by a resurgent Torino side that refused to bow to their local rivals. The point keeps Juventus within touching distance of the summit, but with Napoli grinding out a gritty 1-0 win over Udinese, the pressure is mounting on Massimiliano Allegri’s men to find consistency in the run-in.
Napoli’s narrow victory courtesy of a Victor Osimhen strike in the second half was hardly vintage, but it was enough to keep Luciano Spalletti’s side breathing down the necks of the league leaders. The Partenopei’s defensive resolve once again proved decisive, with Alex Meret untroubled for long spells. Meanwhile, AS Roma continued their late-season surge with a comfortable 2-0 win over Hellas Verona. Paulo Dybala and Tammy Abraham got the goals, as José Mourinho’s men keep their European dreams alive – now just three points off the top four with games running out.
The shock of the day came at San Siro, where AC Milan slumped to a stunning 1-2 defeat against relegation-threatened Cagliari. The Rossoneri took an early lead through Rafael Leão, but a brace from Gianluca Lapadula turned the match on its head. Milan’s desperation late on yielded nothing, leaving Stefano Pioli’s side with serious work to do to secure Champions League qualification. Cagliari’s victory breathes life into their survival bid – they now sit just one point above the drop zone – while the Rossoneri faithful will be left fuming.
Elsewhere, Como 1907 delivered the rout of the day, hammering US Cremonese 4-1 away from home. The newly-promoted side showed no mercy, with Patrick Cutrone scoring twice to cap a dazzling attacking display. At the bottom, Parma earned a vital 1-0 win over Sassuolo, giving themselves a glimmer of hope in the relegation scrap. Lecce edged Genoa 1-0 in a tight contest – a result that keeps the Giallorossi comfortably mid-table.
Looking ahead, the title race enters its final straight with Napoli and Juventus separated by just a point. Both sides face tricky tests next round: Napoli travel to a stubborn Lecce, while Juventus host a resurgent Roma in what could be a blockbuster. Milan’s crisis deepens – they now need to recover quickly against Verona, or risk watching their European ambitions slip away. And in the basement, Cagliari’s miracle run continues: can they climb out completely? One thing is certain: this Serie A season is far from over.
