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. Inter are unbeaten in all six previous games against Spezia between Serie A and the Italian Cup thanks to five wins and one draw. In the next round, Inter will play the away game against Lazio, Spezia will play at home against Sassuolo.
The big duel between Atalanta and AC Milan ended with a draw at the Gewiss Stadium. Atalanta and Milan split the stakes grabbing 1 point each. To the advantage of Malinovskyi, Bennacer responds with a goal around the far post to equalize the 1-1 score. Not a good result for neither. Atalanta and Milan reach 4 points each. Milan’s streak of consecutive victories stops at seven but the unbeaten run that has lasted for 18 league rounds continues. In the next round Atalanta will play the away game against Hellas Verona while AC Milan will host Bologna.
Napoli win in grand style crushing Monza at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Napoli showing a well coordinated game score four goals and remain at full points. 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. Yet, Cremonese remain without points. In the end, however, it was the quality of Roma that prevailed. 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.
The Derby dell’Arno between Empoli and Fiorentina ended with a goalless draw at the Carlo Castellani Stadium sharing with 1 point each. This is the first point grabbed by Empoli while Fiorentina reached 4 points. Empoli played with 10 players since the 66th minute following the red card to Sebastiano Luperto. 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.

✅ Stats before the game: Between Serie B and Coppa Italia, Napoli and Monza have faced each other 12 times: Napoli 4 wins, Monza 2 wins, and 6 draws. The last meeting in order of time in these competitions dates back to January 30, 2000 in Serie B (2-2 in Naples). Napoli have lost two of their last four Serie A matches against newly promoted formations (2W) – as many defeats as in the previous 15 games in the tournament against opponents from B (13V). After the success against Atalanta last April 3, Napoli could win two consecutive Serie A matches against Lombard teams for the first time since 2019 – even in that case the two matches were part of two different seasons (Inter in May and Brescia in September). Luciano Spalletti has been traveling at an average of 2.10 points per match since he coached Napoli in Serie A: only Maurizio Sarri (2.27 per game) has a better average in the era of three points per victory in the top league at the helm of the Azzurri. Monza lost in the first round against Turin: six of the last seven first-time players in Serie A (Benevento, Crotone, Frosinone, Carpi, Sassuolo and Treviso) have lost in both their first two top-flight matches (an exception in this partial Spezia in 2020/21, which he won in the second match).
