Absolutely, Leão brilliant performance with a goal and assist for Olivier Giroud.
Juventus and Roma ended with a draw at the Allianz Stadium. Roma with their heads held high played with character against a Juve wiped out in talent by injuries. Roma show that they can play in big matches even without Zaniolo, with the Special One very good at finding the resources to change the team in a really short bench. Bottom line, Juventus failed to close the match despite ball possession and having the lead in the first half. The Roman gladiators grabbed this golden point thanks to the equalizer goal by Tammy Abraham responding to the goal by Dušan Vlahović.

In the next round, Spezia will play the away game against Juventus, Sassuolo will play at home against Milan.
Salernitana trashed Sampdoria and convincingly win with a 4-0 at the Arechi Stadium. What a way to change the stats, Salernitana have not found the goal in their last two Serie A home games, after having scored in seven of the previous eight – prior to that positive streak. Simply put, Salernitana humiliated Sampdoria with a poker not even giving them the chance to score the honor goal. Salernitana win their first game this season reaching 4 points climbing from the 13th to the 10th position while Sampdoria remain with 1 point stepping down from the 16th to the 18th position. Special victory for Salernitana winning for the third time a Serie A match with 4+ goals in their history on 6/5/1948 v Pro Patria (5-0) and 25/04/1999 v Bologna (4-0).

✅ Stats before the game. Milan have lost only one of their last 25 Serie A matches against Bologna (18W, 6D), on 6 January 2016, when current Rossoblù coach Sinisa Mihajlovic was on the Rossoneri bench (0-1, goal by Giaccherini ). Milan have obtained a clean sheet in both of their last two Serie A matches at the Meazza against Bologna (1W, 1N) and could keep a clean sheet for three home games in a row against the rossoblùs for the first time since 1999 (six of following). Bologna are unbeaten in three Serie A matches with the three most successful opponents in the competition (Juventus, Inter and Milan); excluding the same three teams, the last formation to have recorded a longer unbeaten streak against these opponents was Roma (five, between 2020 and 2021), while the last time the rossoblù did better was in 2012, with Stefano Pioli on the bench (four). Milan won the first home game of this championship; both in 2020/21 and 2021/22 the Rossoneri managed to win both their first two home games of the season – they have not been able to do so for three seasons in a row since 2003/04.
