ROME (AP) Juventus clinched its fifth straight Serie A title with three matches to spare after Napoli was beaten 1-0 at Roma on Monday.

Juventus won 2-1 at Fiorentina on Sunday and Napoli needed to beat Roma to prevent the Bianconeri from clinching the title.

Radja Nainggolan scored for Roma one minute from the end.

Juventus leads Napoli by 12 points, with Roma two points further back in third.

It was Juve's 32nd Italian league title - not including the two honors that were taken away after the 2006 match-fixing scandal known as Calciopoli.

Later, AC Milan will visit last-place Hellas Verona and relegation-threatened Carpi will play Empoli.

Monday is Liberation Day in Italy, a national holiday.
