👉 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. Napolitano died on Friday 22 September. In 2006, a few weeks after his election, Napolitano was present in Berlin for the final that crowned Italy World Champion.

✅ 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.

Mission accomplished! Sassuolo needed to win the Serie A Week 5 game to avoid falling down in the relegation zone on Saturday 23 September 2023 at the Mapei Stadium in Sassuolo, Italy. 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.
Juventus suffered their first lost while Sassuolo got their second victory.
Before the match, a minute of silence was observed for the passing of Giorgio Napolitano. Juventus have won in the first two away games of this championship without conceding any goals: they have not achieved three successes in the first three away games of a Serie A tournament, achieving a clean sheet in each since 2014/15 (five goals scored and zero suffered in that case).
Sassuolo opened the score in the 12th minute. Armand Laurienté defeated Juventus goalkeeper with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner.

✅ Stats before the game: Sassuolo has achieved two victories in the last four Serie A matches against Juventus (2L), one more success than the only one achieved by the neroverdi in the previous 16 matches against the bianconeri in the top tournament (3D, 12P). Despite the 1-0 victory with a goal from Defrel in the last home match played by Sassuolo against Juventus in Serie A (16 April 2023), the Juventus team is one of the three teams (like Inter and Milan) faced at least twice times in Serie A, against whom the neroverdi have the highest percentage of home defeats (60%, six knockouts in 10 games, 2W, 2N). This is only the third time that Sassuolo has lost at least three times in the first four matches of a Serie A championship, after 2013/14 (four defeats out of four) and 2017/18 (three defeats out of four); only in 2013/14 (first season in the competition for the Emilians) did at least four defeats occur in the first five matchdays. Since the season of their return to Serie A (2007/08), this is only the fifth time that Juventus have scored at least nine goals in the first four matches of a top championship: the previous ones in 2018/19 and 2017/18 under Massimiliano Allegri on the bench, then in 2012/13 with Antonio Conte and in 2007/08 with Claudio Ranieri.
