Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 1st position with 6 points and a positive goal difference of +5
AS Roma, 13th position with 1 point and a negative goal difference of -1
AS Roma with a sour defeat losing the Serie A Week 3 game on Friday 1 September 2023 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. Roma have only 1 point while AC Milan have full 9 points in the 1st position. Milan win each of the first three games of the season for the third time in the last four Serie A championships, the same number of times in the previous 29.
Surely, it is a bitter debut for Romelu Lukaku in the Giallorossi jersey, the Belgian nevertheless entered with the right attitude, giving his contribution to the team, though the goal never arrived. Lukaku got a yellow card in the 85th minute.
AC Milan dominated in the first half, the Rossoneri took the lead thanks to the penalty converted by Olivier Giroud. At the beginning of the second half, Leao’s masterpiece who scored the 2-0 in a half bicycle kick, but the match changed when Tomori was sent off at game time. Roma takes courage and pushes forward, Leonardo Spinazzola shortens in full recovery but the final assault does not lead to a draw. Overall, a deserved victory for Pioli’s team which is momentarily the only team with full points; one point in three games for Roma, an uphill start for Mourinho.
The second coach ever to reach 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ points in #SerieATIM on the Rossoneri bench 🔴⚫️
