Hello my friends. Here are the results of the Serie A Week 2 – Second Round on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 August 2016.  The Serie A will have a break for the International and World Cup qualifying games and resume on September 11.   There are only 4 teams winning their two games so far reaching full 6 points:  Genoa, Juventus, Sampdoria, and Sassuolo.

The big clash Napoli vs AC Milan ended in favor of Napoli  defeating AC Milan with a 4-2.   A step back for the Rossoneri.   Milan coach Vincenzo Montella still working to define a convincing squad.

A rocking match was Torino 5 – 1 Bologna.   It’s a blow for Bologna conceding 4 goals and question marks for coach Roberto Donadoni.  Good thing for Bologna they will have time to regroup during the international break to fix errors and  improve their performance.  Torino crushing Bologna and the hero forward Andrea Belotti scoring 3 goals  in the 28′, 37′, 88′ minutes!!!

Juventus defeating Lazio at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium.  One goal enough to grab the victory and get back for the Scudetto race.

A flop could be also for AS Roma.  Cagliari battling at the Sant’Elia Stadium and down with 0 – 2 to overturn the result for a final 2-2 draw.  It’s a failure for the Roman gladiators who were leading the score and needed this victory to boost the morale of the team after their elimination in the UEFA Champions League Playoffs.  Yet, Roma failed!

Inter disappointing the fans at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium ending with a 1-1 draw.  Inter fans at the end of the game booing, whistling against the team.

 

The top scorer of the Serie A: Torino forward Andrea Belotti with 4 goals

Hello my friends.   We started the new 2016 – 2017 season!!!!  Here is the Roundup for the Serie A Week 1 – First Round on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 August 2016.   The race just started for the Scudetto.

Serie A tickets

 

Saturday’s games seeing the two big winning.  Yep, the first match to kick off  the season was AS Roma vs Udinese.    AS Roma trashing Udinese with a smacking goleada 4-0 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium.   Argentinian midfielder Diego Perotti scoring 2 goals by converting 2 penalties and completing the party were the goals by Edin Dzeko and Mohamed Salah.  Perotti surely not disappointing coach Luciano Spalletti after giving him the chance to play when substituting forward Stephan El Shaarawy in the 56th minute. Roma grabbing their first 3 points.

Juventus also with an important victory.   It was a tough duel with the first half ending 0-0.  The turnover came in the second half with Juventus opening the score and then Fiorentina equalizing.   The ideal scenario for the debut of the new Juventus player forward Gonzalo Higuaín when he started as a sub and then BAM!   Higuain breaking the draw to score the winner goal in the 75th minute.

AC Milan starting the season with the goal by Colombian forward Carlos Bacca in the 38th minute against Torino…… A dreamed start for Bacca scoring 3 goals including converting one penalty! Surely, a great debut also for the new AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella defeating the ex Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.

Main flop is Inter defeated in the away game against Chievo Verona at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium. A personal derby for Valter Birsa who is an ex AC Milan player and scored the 2 goals against Inter to give Chievo the victory.

The 3 teams promoted to Serie A this season are Crotone, Cagliari, and Pescara after a 3 years absence. Crotone promoted in Serie A for the first time in their history. Cagliari promoted after just one year of being relegated to Serie B.  A test for all three teams and we might say only Pescara passe the test.  Crotone  defeated by Bologna and Cagliari defeated by Genoa.   A different story is Pescara who started with a strong determination  surprising Napoli with 2 goals.  Yet, Napoli reacting and managed to even the score for a final 2-2.   Simply put, Pescara with coach Massimo Oddo might be a tough cookie for the s0-called big teams usually doing bad with the so-called small teams.
