Hello my friends. It’s so nice to welcome the Serie A again for the new season. Here are the 2018-2019 Serie A Week 1 RESULTS / First Round on Saturday 18, Sunday 19, and Monday 20 August 2018. There were two games postponed after the Genova tragedy with the Monrandi Bridge collapsing. AC Milan vs Genoa and Sampdoria vs Fiorentina postponed.
Italy’s Champions Juventus starting the new season with a victory. The hype and the Ronaldo mania gaining momentum and more fans. Surely, the signing of the best player of the world Cristiano Ronaldo gives an added boost to the Italian Serie A. Juventus defeated Chievo Verona at the Marc’Antoio Bentegodi Stadium with a 2-3 after being down overturning the result. Cristiano did not score, but show great team participation.
A big plus is for the “King of Napoli,” the new Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti making his debut with a victory. Napoli with an important victory winning the away game against Lazio at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium.
AS Roma grabbing an away victory defeating Torino at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium. The late goal in the 89th minute by forward Edin Dzeko was enough to secure the victory. A blow for Torino coach Walter Mazzarri being sent off for protesting asking or a penalty.
A flop for new Bologna Coach Filippo Inzaghi. It’s a bad debut for Inzaghi losing the home game at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium against SPAL.
Another flop is for Inter starting the new season on the wrong foot. Inter defeated at the Mapei Stadium by Sassuolo. It’s good news for Sassuolo because they claimed their first home victory gaining full 3 points after forward Domenico Berardi converting the penalty for the final 1-0. Inter fans disappointed as their hope to start with a victory to sow they are a strong contender for the Scudetto was crushed with this defeat.
The only match ending with a draw was Parma 2 – 2 Udinese. We might say not a bad start for Parma after being promoted from the Serie B. Parma battled and managed to claim at least 1 point in front of their fans at the Ennio Tardini Stadium.
