Hello my friends. Here are the Serie A RESULTS Week 3 on Saturday 12, Sunday 13, and Monday 14 September 2015.

Highlight in this round is the Milan Derby seeing Inter vs AC Milan dueling for the bragging rights the City of Milan. The face to face between Sinisa Mihahlovic, formerly Inter assistant coach under Roberto Mancini. Mihahlovic now facing Inter as new Milan Coach.  It’s Inter to take the lead with Colombian midfielder Fredy Guarin.   The real news is that Inter not only won the Derby della Madonnina, but are also sole leaders of the Serie A winning all 3 games reaching full 9 points!!!!

Sampdoria shining after defeating Bologna at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.  Sampdoria with 7 points are now only -2 points behind Inter!!!

Juventus still not showing their character and lacking consistency.  Juventus, Italy defending champions, have not won a single game yet.  However, a controversial draw against Chievo Verona who almost got the victory at the Juventus Stadium.    It’s a wake up for Juventus to regroup and start winning or their ambition to win their 5th consecutive Scudetto will be a thing of the past.  Juventus 1 – 1 Chievo Verona.   For the moment, Juventus will have to reprogram themselves and be ready for the Champions League Group Stage match against Manchester City next Tuesday 15 September.  Good news is that Chievo reached the 2nd position remaining with 7 points.

A different story is for the Roman gladiators. Roma coach Rudi Garcia keeping the dream alive for the fans to finally  win the Scudetto this season.  Roma defeated Frosinone and are ahead of Juventus.  Frosinone 0 – 2 AS Roma.   Now, the motivation is high for Roma facing on Wednesday 16 September Barcelona in the Champions League Group Stage.

 

The top scorer up to Round 3: Sampdoria forward Citadin Ederr with 5 goals.
