In the early hours of Monday morning (13th), two Serie A matches gave birth to a feast of goals. Juventus beat Sampdoria 4-2 at home, while Roma lost to Sassuolo 3-4 at home. Roma's center back Gambena was red carded for a foul during a clash, which not only drove him out of the game, but also led to the team being awarded a 12-yard penalty, making coach Jose Mourinho, who was watching the game from the sidelines, furious.
Roma manager Jose Mourinho's unsuccessful appeal for a two-match suspension prevented him from personally directing the team for this fixture. The players were demoralized by two goals scored by Sassuolo striker Ronny Andy just 18 minutes into the match.
Although Roma pushed the score to 1-2 with a goal from Salihicki, Gambena was again shown a red card and given a 12-yard penalty for the action late in the first half when he kicked a downed Sassuolo striker, Duvernay Gobelardi, in anger in the penalty area.
Slow-motion replays showed that it was actually Vinny Gobelardi who kicked Gambena first, who was red-carded for carrying out a retaliatory action, while Berardi escaped punishment and his penalty kick managed to hit the mark, sparking controversy.
In the second leg, Paulo Dibana scored a brace to bring Roma to within 2-3, but Sassuolo's Bina Mundi added a second to make it 4-2, and despite a header in stoppage time by Werner Dummett, Roma fell to a 3-4 defeat.
In another Serie A match, Juventus beat Sampdoria 4-2 thanks to a header from center back Kierkin Bierma, a second goal from midfielder Rabiot, and a stoppage time goal from 19-year-old starlet Sully. Despite being docked 15 points for financial fraud, Juventus won five of their last six league matches and still have a chance to qualify for the next European tournament.
