Spezia-Verona 1-3
Hellas Verona stays in A, Spezia sadly relegates to B. This is the epilogue of the one-game playoff to remain in the top division played at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia. Three to one the final score with goals accrued in the first half: lead signed by Faraoni, draw by Ampadu, then a double by Ngonge. In the second half an extraordinary Montipò parried a penalty to Nzola. In rapture the 5,000 Verona fans, dumbfounded the 4,000 Spezia fans. To which Verona recovered 8 points, from last January to the resumption of the championship after the World Cup break, reaching the play-off.
First half. Spectacular start. 5′ minute: Hellas, wrapping action, ball to the incoming Faraoni who kicks just inside the area, ball in the net, to nothing Ampadu’s desperate attempt: Verona-Spezia 1-0. Immediate reaction from Semplici’s boys: Reca from outside, ball wide by a whisker. On 14′ Ampadu from the edge, broadside that slams under the crossbar and ends up in the net: Spezia-Verona 1-1. Balanced match, broken again by the Gialloblù in the 25th minute: insistent action on the edge, then inside the area here is the splendid exchange Ngonge-Djuric-Ngonge, winning conclusion by the Belgian: Hellas Verona-Spezia 2-1. The Ligurians take a few minutes to react. The best chance on the foot of Wisniewski, under the goal, bricked by the Scaligera rearguard. On the first throw-in (38′) Verona drops the tris with Ngonge: Hellas-Spezia 3-1. Nothing more happens, 3 minutes of recovery, everyone in the locker room.
Second half. Start of resumption, same formations on the field. Spezia fans shout for a goal but a miraculous Montipò, on Zurkowski’s underhand turn, says no. Ligurians forward, Gialloblù ready to squeeze into spaces. Ngonge, again him, kicks at a sure shot, this time the Ligurian rearguard closes. Semplici plays the Verde card (8′); Zaffaroni responds with Verdi and Cabal (12′). Spezia fails to be effective, so here is the insertion of Kovalenko (21′). 22′: great action in the central corridor of Shomurodov, lob that passes Montipò coming out, the ball is ending up in the net, Faraoni intervenes and deflects it with one hand: red card for Faraoni, on the penalty spot goes Nzola who gets the penalty saved by the usual, miraculous Montipò. Spezia does not give up, strong with the extra man. 29′: Zaffaroni inserts Gaich and Terraciano. Shomurodov continues to engage Montipò, who is insuperable. Spezia closes, at times, Verona in its 16 meters. Last two changes in the Ligurians: inside Cipot and Agudelo (37′); on the other side enters Coppola (40′). Six minutes of recovery, Ampadu hits a resounding crossbar. Triple whistle: Hellas Verona in A, Spezia relegated to B.

The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up
This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.
The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.
Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia
So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.
Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).
Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.
As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren
.
The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.
“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.
The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.
Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
