👉 Here is the list of suspensions by the Sporting Judge Gerardo Mastrandrea assisted by Stefania Ginesio and the A.I.A Representative Carlo Moretti on Monday 25 September 2023 after the Serie A Round 5 concluded on Sunday 24 September 2023.
One game suspension
Aaron Martin (Genoa)
Club Fines
Fine of €5,000 euro fines against Empoli, Fiorentina, Hellas Verona, Lazio and Udinese. The reason lies in not having respected, some or all of its supporters, the minute of silence ordered by the FIGC to commemorate the passing of the former President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano.
Added to these sanctions are also those relating to the throwing of smoke bombs, for which Lecce was punished with a fine of €4,000 euros. Milan and Salernitana, however, will have to pay a fine of €1,500 euros for the throwing of bottles into the pitch by some supporters.

👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Serie A Week 5 RESULTS / Fifth Round on Friday 22, Saturday 23, and Sunday 24 September 2023.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has arranged a minute’s silence to be observed before the start of the matches of all the competitions scheduled for the weekend to remember and honor Giorgio Napolitano, President Emeritus of the Italian Republic, who passed away today in Rome at the age of 98.

✅ 10 Serie A Games Completed
⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 5 (Updated on Sunday 24 September 2023)
The David and Goliath clash. Inter, the Goliath, defeated Empoli remaining in the last position without points. On the other hand, Inter have won all of their first five matches in a Serie A season for the fourth time in their history, after 2019/20 with Antonio Conte, 2015/16 with Roberto Mancini and 1966/67 with Helenio Herrera as coach.
AC Milan climbed from the 4th to the 2nd position after defeating Hellas Verona thanks to the goal by Rafael Leao.
Lecce defeated Genoa and got the third position. Lecce got their third victory this season and without losing a game, yet.
Step back is for Juventus losing their first game this season defeated by Sassuolo with a 4-2. Juventus went down from the 3rd to the 4th position. It is a prestigious victory and a thriller game! After a good start by Juventus, it ended with a total disaster. Sassuolo took the lead with Armand Laurientè thanks to Szczesny’s error. The Bianconeri, led by Chiesa, find the equalizer favored by the number 7 who puts a ball in the middle and finds the unfortunate deflection from Matías Viña. In the final, Domenico Berardi lights up and scores the goal for the new lead with a great left-footed shot from the edge of the area.
Lazio failed to win at the Olimpico ended with a 1-1 draw against Monza. Ciro Immobile converted a penalty for Lazio. Gagliardini equalized for Monza. This is a tough defeat because Lazio have only 4 points getting closer to the relegation zone. Monza are in a better position with 5 points.
Tough news for AS Roma failing to defeat Torino. Roma and Torino ended with a 1-1 draw which is not what Roma needed to climb the Standings. Roma are not even without the top 10 positions, but down to the 13th position with just 5 points. The good news is for Torino because they reached the 9th position with 8 points.

The David and Goliath clash. Inter, the Goliath, won the Serie A Week 5 game on Sunday 24 September 2023 at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy. Empoli remained in the last position without points. On the other hand, Inter have won all of their first five matches in a Serie A season for the fourth time in their history, after 2019/20 with Antonio Conte, 2015/16 with Roberto Mancini and 1966/67 with Helenio Herrera as coach.
Inter got the victory thanks to the goal by Federico Di Marco in the 51st minute. Di Marco defeated Empoli goalkeeper Etrit Berisha with a left-footed shot to the top right corner following a corner conceded by Berisha.
Great game for Inter goalkeeper keeping Yann Sommer another clean sheet.
✅ Stats before the game: Empoli have lost 23 of 30 matches against Inter in Serie A (W4, D3), against no team have the Tuscans suffered more defeats in the tournament (23 also against Roma). Inter have won 14 of the last 16 games against Empoli in the league (1N, 1L), scoring 32 goals (exactly two on average per match) and recording 10 clean sheets in the period. Inter have kept a clean sheet in their last eight away games against Empoli in the league, already a record run of clean sheets in a row for a single club away from home against another Serie A opponent – the Tuscan club’s latest goal at Castellani against the Nerazzurri bears the signature of Marco Materazzi (29-metre own goal on 30 April 2006). Empoli is only the third team that has been unable to either win points or score in the first four matches of the season in the history of Serie A, after Mantua in 1964/65 and Padova in 1994/95. In case of defeat without scoring in this match, the Tuscan team would become the first ever in the competition to do so in the first five matches of the season.
