A cold shower in San Siro! In the 6th minute, it is Napoli to open the score leaving Milan fans speechless!

Bam, bam, bam! Who can help this poor Milan? What a flop! Good job by Napoli showing determination and returning in the second half to command in San Siro. In the 48th minute there it is the goal by forward Lorenzo Insigne defeating goalkeeper Lopez with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by forward Gonzalo “El Pipita” Higuain. Alarm as Insigne seems to injure while kicking.. but he just got up indicating he can continue….

Party time for Insigne! Far from being injured, Insigne seems more than energized and becoming Milan’s verdugo! Insigne scoring his second goal in this game in the 67th minute. The goal arriving after a free kick following the foul of Milan defender Rodrigo Ely on Gonzalo Higuain. Insigne taking position and there he goes defeating goalkeeper Lopez with his free kick right footed shot in the top left corner. Nothing to do for Lopez, but just total party for Insigne celebrating with teammates.
The final dagger in Milan’s heart arriving in the 77th minute with the own goal by Rodrigo Ely. Ouch! Mamma mia… what else could go wrong for this Milan?

Hello my friends. Here are the results for the Serie A Week 7 – Seventh Round on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October 2015.
The two-way race for the Scudetto between Fiorentina and Inter had 15 points before this round. Inter failing to defeat Sampdoria at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium and ended up with a draw falling now alone in the 2nd position with 16 points. Fiorentina living a great moment as they are defeating Atalanta at the Artemio Franchi Stadium reaching now 18 points and becoming sole leaders of the Serie A for the first time this season! Fiorentina are now +2 points above Inter.
The highlight in this round is the famous Verona Derby. However, far from being a memorable Derby, it ended with a draw. A tough situation for Hellas Verona remaining in the 19th position with just 4 points!
The good news is for Carpi! Yep! Carpi with a historical victory after defeating Torino because it is the first victory in Serie A after being promoted from Serie B. It’s just party time for Carpi because coach Giuseppe Sannino made his debut with Carpi with a victory!
Roma are crushing Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium scoring already 3 goals in the first half. The final result is Palermo 2 – 4 AS Roma.
A total flop for AC Milan falling in San Siro! Napoli rocking and already scoring 3 goals while the somber face of coach Sinisa Mihajlovic says it all….. a flop. Adding a knife to injury, the own goal by Milan defender Rodrigo Ely to make it, AC Milan 0 – 4 Napoli
