First double in A for Miretti: Genoa beats Lecce by a narrow margin
Genoa-Lecce 2-1
Genoa began with a success over Lecce, with the result of 2-1, the twenty-ninth day of the Serie A championship. At the ‘Ferraris’, under abundant rain, the Rossoblù thus conquer three points probably decisive for salvation, distancing by ten lengths precisely the Giallorossi, one of the direct competitors in the less noble zone of the standings.
The cover man of the evening è Fabio Miretti: the offensive midfielder owned by Juventus in fact signed his first double in A, two goals that proved decisive for the Grifone’s success. The first goal came on 16′, with a spectacular turn that caught Falcone by surprise, who could do nothing to prevent the ball from going into the net.
The second goal came instead at the twilight of the first half, moreù precisely during the second minute of recovery time: Miretti received the ball from Malinovskiy, skipped nimbly over Guilbert and finished on net, again beating the Giallorossi extreme defender for the 2-0 goal that made the home fans go crazy with joy.
In the second half, Genoa lowered its pace but Lecce struggled to take advantage. It’s forò an episode that reopens the match: Matturro touches the ball in the area with his hand at 64′, referee Maresca first signals to continue, then verifies first with the help of the VAR Room and then in person via on-field review, granting the penalty. To convert it è Krstovic, when the clock marks 68′.
There would be plenty of time to recover, but apart from a Karlsson conclusion on which Leali had to stretch to avoid trouble, Lecce did not sting further. Genoa wins and rises to 35 points, the Salentini remain at 25 and have to watch their backs, as Parma has 24 points and Empoli 22, and both have yet to take the field this round.

After a weekend and a half of the championship, words of surrender are already coming.
Fabio Quartararo continues to suffer with his Yamaha, and even after the Sprint Race at Termas de Rio Hondo he expressed all his frustration. The Frenchman, who started from the seventh box on the grid, did not è go beyond tenth place at the finish line, losing a 12-second gap to winner Marc Marquez.
“We don't have a chance to fight against anyone – Quartararo complained at the end of the day -.At the beginning I pushed too hard and the result è was that the tire è immediately dropped. On a dry lap the Yamaha is not bad, but we have very little grip. It will be important to understand whyé in long runs we struggle so much”.
There is no shortage of reasons for disappointment for Quartararo, taking into account the fact that after a very difficult 2024 but ended on a crescendo he confirmed his commitment to Yamaha through 2026. The pre-season tests had also seemed promising, defeated by this start of the season.
“Since the beginning of this championship we have always been last. Testing is one thing, but then we get on the track for the race. And when we do, we are always at the back of the pack”, added a discouraged Quartararo.

The name of the first finalist arrives.
Holger Rune will play the final of the Indian Wells tournament. The Dane è earned the final act of the Masters 1000 played on the Californian cement by beating in just over an hour and a half Daniil Medvedev, in a 7-5, 6-4 without argument.
The first possible breakthrough in the match had come in the fifth game of the first set, when Rune snatched service from Medvedev, who was able, però to hit the counterbreak already at 3-3. After an eternal eighth game (as many as 18 points) è it was then the eleventh that proved decisive, with the Dane who è took a further break and è won the set in the next game.
Much easier was Rune’s task in the second set, with the break found as early as the third game in the midst of two service rounds in which Medvedev è failed to score a single point. The Dane leaves the crumbs to his opponent, who is ahead of him in the ATP world rankings, and goes on to win the Indian Wells final.
For Rune, this is the fourth career final in a Masters 1000 on the ATP circuit. He had previously won in Paris-Bercy in 2022 by beating Novak Djokovic and lost twice in 2023, however: in Monte Carlo against Rublev and at the Internazionali d’Italia precisely against Medvedev.

The triumph comes in front of the home crowd.
The Six Nations 2025 goes to France, thanks to a 35-16 victory at the Stade de France in Paris. The transalpine national team needed to beat their opponents to be certain of winning the tournament, which could still have gone to’England.
A sprint start for France, which on 4′ led 3-0 with Ramos and on 18′ found Moefana’s goal to make it 10-0. It wasn't until 21′ that Scotland got back into the game, thanks to a yellow card for Mauvaka and Russell's accuracy from the pitch.
The game turns on: Ramos signs 13-3, but on 29′ Graham finds the 13-10 goal. France begins to tremble, and in fact Russell brings Scotland back to 13-13. The final half sees both teams try to pull ahead, but the only one to get on the scoreboard è the usual Ramos who makes it 16-13 from the square.
