Hakan Çalhanoglu doubled in the second half in the 52nd minute. The final blow to grab all 3 points is with the goal by Correa for the 3-0.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with a brace, Victor Osimhen with a goal. Adding the cherry on top of the ice cream is Kim Min-Jae sealing the game with his goal in the 93rd minute and his first goal for the club. For Monza, this is a hard defeat in the first away match of the season and a ranking that still reads 0 points. In the next round, Napoli will play the way game against Fiorentina, while Monza will host Udinese.
AS Roma defeated Cremonese at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Roma with full 6 points. Cremonese play openly for all 90 minutes and also touches the net on several occasions.

In the next round, Roma will play against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium, while Cremonese will play at home against Torino.
Sampdoria grabbed their first point this season after the goalless draw against Juventus at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. Sampdoria can celebrate because this “golden point” helped them to climb the Serie A Standing climbing from the 19th to the 16th position. Juventus climbed from the 8th to the 4th position. Previously, Juventus won all their last six matches with Sampdoria in Serie A. Yet, Sampdoria stopped them today not allowing any goal.
Udinese and Salernitana ended with a draw at the Dacia Arena in Udine, Italy. A goalless draw with Udinese close to the lead in the 37th minute with the post that prevented Deulofeu from scoring the goal. The possible turning point of the match comes at the end of the first half when Nehuen Perez commits a very naive tactical foul and trips Mazzocchi going directly on the legs of the winger resulting with the red card. With Udinese reduced to ten men. Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri denied every attempt and practically avoid the defeat at the Dacia.
Torino and Lazio ended with a goalless draw at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium. Torino play better in the first half without almost ever bothering goalkeeper Provedel. In the second half, Lazio had three clear scoring chances with Milinkovic, Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto at the end. Yet, nothing work, the goal never arrived. Torino and Lazio reached 4 points each. In the next round of the championship, Lazio will play at home against Inter while Torino will play the away game against Cremonese.

In the 93rd minute, Empoli remained with 9 players because all changes were already made and Nicolò Cambiaghi left the pitch for muscle problems. In the third round, Empoli will play the away game against Lecce while Fiorentina will host Napoli.
Bologna and Hellas Verona ending with a draw at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. On a positive note, these are the first points for both teams this season.
