The European leagues are back, after the break for national team matches, with clubs in Serie A and Ligue 1 throwing themselves into battle and providing top-level spectacles.
In Italy, this three-day period (19-21/10) sees the 8th matchday of Serie A. Today’s schedule included four matches, with the first two matches coming in draws: Como – Parma 1-1 and Genoa – Bologna 2-2.
At Como Stadio Giuseppe Siniglia, Parma took the lead through Boni in the 20th minute, but the hosts leveled in the 45th minute through Paz. A score that stayed until the end.
In Genoa, Bologna led 2-0 through Orsolini (37′) and Odgaard (56′), but Genoa came back and with two goals from Pinamonti (73′, 85′) got the draw.
In the third match of the day, Milan narrowly beat Udinese 1-0. Chukwueze scored the game-deciding goal in the 13th minute. The hosts were left with ten players in the 29th minute, due to the dismissal of the Riders, and the visitors’ two goals were canceled by VAR.
