From the 3 Serie B promoted teams, two had a bad debut in Serie A, we might say Cagliari had a decent debut with a goalless draw against Torino. Frosinone crushed at home by the Reigning Champions “Napoli.” Genoa humiliated by Fiorentina also at the Marassi Stadium.
The happiest of all, Napoli, who have won in all of their last seven Serie A debuts, six of these played away. Napoli had not conceded a goal within the first 7 minutes of play in their debut league match since August 1995 (Protti, Bari-Naples 1-1).
AC Milan celebrating the victory. Great start for Christian Pulisic becoming the fifth American player to score a goal in Serie A after Alexi Lalas, Michael Bradley, Weston McKennie and Gianluca Busio and the first to do so on his debut in the Italian top flight. Olivier Giroud’s goal against Bologna is the first scored with his right foot of the 33 scored by the French player for Milan in all competitions.
Massimiliano Allegri became the second Juventus coach to reach the milestone of 250 victories in all competitions since 1929/30, after Giovanni Trapattoni (319). Udinese have lost three of their last four Serie A debuts (D1), as many defeats as in the previous seven seasons in the top flight.
An added incentive for Hellas Verona because they have won for the first time an away game in their season opener. Previously, Verona had collected nine defeats and four draws away from home in Serie A in the first match of the season.
A curious detail, both of Federico Bonazzoli’s last two away goals in Serie A came against Empoli at the Castellani Stadium: the first on 14 May 2022 against Salernitana.
As for Fiorentina, it was since 1997 that Fiorentina had not won an away Serie A season opener (3-2 at Udinese). Fiorentina have scored at least four goals in an away Serie A opener for the first time since September 1956 (5-2 v Udinese). Surely, this is a good sign for Viola fans to expect a top performance this season.
Inter have won five league debuts in a row for the third time in their history after also succeeding between 1951 and 1955 and between 1993 and 1997. The leading motor is Argentinean forward Lautaro Martínez scoring a brace. Lautaro has been involved in 101 goals in Serie A (81 goals and 20 assists). Since his debut in the Serie A (since 2018/19), only Ciro Immobile (138) and Domenico Berardi (108) have done better.
Charles De Ketelaere scored his first Serie A goal after 33 appearances and 22 shots in the competition. Despite Atalanta being the team that has recorded the most defeats in their first Serie A match of the season (27), the Dea have won all of their last six opening matches in the tournament.
Forward Andrea Belotti scored his first two goals in Serie A for AS Roma, scoring again for the first time in the competition since 1 May 2022 (hat-trick against Empoli with Torino) and thus ending a streak of 34 consecutive games without goals active in the competition, of which the last 31 with the yellow and red shirt.
For the first time, Lecce won their season debut in Serie A, before today the Apulians had obtained six draws and 11 defeats in this league match. Ciro Immobile has reached 200 goals in the big five European leagues. Furthermore, this was Immobile’s 100th away goal across the big five European leagues.
Torino-Cagliari finished 0-0 for the 14th time in Serie A, confirming the most frequent result in meetings between these two teams in the competition. However, that hadn’t happened at Torino since January 1980. Cagliari have remained unbeaten in eight of their last nine Serie A matches against Torino (W3, D5). The Sardinians have also drawn four of their last five Monday matches in the competition.
Antonio Candreva scored his fourth brace in Serie A against Roma: the last one dates back to 24 January 2016, again at the Stadio Olimpico but with the Lazio shirt (vs Chievo Verona).
