Leaders Juventus remain unstoppable, beating Bologna 2-0 to continue with full points from six Serie A First Division rounds, while Naples beat Parma 3-0 and Roma broke their losing streak with a win against Frosinone 4-0.

Italy's Serie A weekday matches recorded great goals by Argentine Javier Pastore of Roma and by Paulo Dybala although Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score for Juventus on Wednesday night.

At the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Juventus added the sixth victory to their record, beating Bologna with a solid 2-0 thanks to goals of Dybala in the 12th minute and French Blaise Matuidi in the 16th minute, reports Efe news.

The Turinese squad beat the Bolognese team with energy and experience. Despite not being able to celebrate a goal from Cristiano, Juventus saw how Dybala is increasing his fitness both mentally and athletically.

Roma, for its part, finally achieved the long-awaited 4-0 win against new rising star Frosinone, ending a four-game losing streak with two draws and two defeats.

Roma finished the first half 3-0 thanks to Turkish Cengiz Under, who scored first with a left-footed shot from 20 meters away in the 2nd minute, Pastore in the 28th minute, and Stephan El Shaarawy in the 35th minute and finally Aleksandar Kolarov scored in the 87th minute.
