After the draw (1-1) between Fiorentina and Torino, the 20th day of Serie A continued this Sunday with two games scheduled for 3 p.m. At the Unipol Domus, Cagliari overthrew Lecce (4-1). Trailing after Pierotti's opener (42nd), the locals turned things around after returning from the locker room thanks to Gaetano (60th), Luperto (65th), Zortea (80th) and Obert (83rd). In numerical superiority after the expulsion of Rebic (73rd), Cagliari finally secured their victory and found themselves 13th. Lecce is 16th.

In the other meeting, Parma and Venice were unable to decide between themselves (1-1) at the Ennio Tardini. If Finnish striker Joel Pohjanpalo opened the scoring from the penalty spot for the visitors (0-1, 20th), Parma equalized, from the penalty spot, after returning from the locker room thanks to Hernani (1-1, 56th). With this draw (1-1), Fabio Pecchia's men are in 15th place. Venice is still stuck in a worrying 19th place.
