The points were shared between Sassuolo and Torino on the opening night of the round.
After trailing for over 40 minutes, Sassuolo had the majority of the five goals that were scored in the final 20 minutes of regulation time to avoid defeat at home. Despite throwing away their lead, Torino can look at the positive side of picking up their first point of the season.


Fabio Quagliarella scored in his fourth consecutive league match for Sampdoria as his side secured a three straight league win from a 3-1 away win against Atalanta; making it a consecutive league defeat for Atalanta.

Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring in Inter Milan’s 2-0 victory at Genoa.

Ciro Immobile scored the winning goal for Lazio ended at three match winless run in the league through a 2-1 home win against Bologna.


Cagliari kicked off a winning streak after ending a winless start to their season in the previous round. Joao Pedro scored the insurance goal in the 84th-minute after his side took a narrow 3-2 lead to the break. On the other hand, Crotone are back to losing ways after breaking their losing streak with a draw against Juventus in the previous round.

Napoli scored two goals in the second half to overturn a 1-goal deficit from the first. About 7 minutes before Andrea Petagna scored the game winning goal, Lorenzo Insigne canceled out the lead Roberto Insigne had given Benevento. Excluding the deducted points for failing to travel against Juventus, Napoli are 100% wins in the Serie A.

Juraj Kucka converted a late penalty to see PArma avoid a league defeat at home against newly-promoted Spezia.

Gaetano Castrovilli scored a brace that included the winning goal for Fiorentina to get past Udinese with a 3-2 win.

Juventus dropped points against Hellas Verona.
Dejan Kulusevski came off the bench and got the equalizing goal for Juventus to avoid defeat at home. The result meant that Juventus hasn’t gotten the better of Hellas Verona in their last two meetings.
