Now it is ever more likely that Inter Milan will secure the Serie A title in the Derby match against AC Milan in the next round after the Rossoneri were held to a 3-3 draw at relegation-threatened Sassuolo on Sunday.
Second-placed Milan fought back from 1-3 down and was left 13 points behind Inter. And, if the Nerazzuri beat struggling Cagliari, they will only need a draw in the Derby on April 22 to win a 20th league title and earn a second star on the team shirts.
A star is awarded for every 10 Serie A titles. Milan, like Inter, has won the Italian league 19 times.
Sassuolo, in penultimate position, inched to within a point of safety.
Walid Cheddira scored two goals against his parent club to help relegation-threatened Frosinone draw 2-2 against Napoli.
Napoli twice took the lead through Matteo Politano and Victor Osimhen but Cheddira hauled Napoli level on both occasions.
Cheddira was signed by Napoli in August but immediately sent on loan to Frosinone.
