Juventus-Roma 0-0
This year’s “editions” of Juventus and Roma may not exude the aura of the past, and their clash may not have the same prestige, but their encounter at the Allianz Stadium, for the 3rd matchday of Serie A, had the characteristics of a classic Italian derby.
A very tight game, with defenses taking center stage and good moments appearing sporadically, despite both coaches, Thiago Motta and Daniele De Rossi, showing a willingness to present attacking football. Juventus had a significant opportunity in the 42nd minute, when Svilar made an impressive save from Vlahovic’s attempt, a moment that was the most notable of the match.
Juventus: Di Gregorio, Savona, Cambal (46′ Koopmeiners), Gatti, Bremer, Locatelli (67′ McKennie), Fagioli (67′ Douglas Luiz), Cambiaso, Bangoula (46′ Conceição), Yildiz, Vlahovic (82′ Gonzales).
Roma: Svilar, Angelino, Celik, Mancini, Endika, Cristante, Pisilli (72′ Kone), Pellegrini (82′ Baldanči), Saelemaekers (62′ Zalewski), Sule (62′ Dybala), Dovbik (82′ Somurondov).
Udinese-Como 1-0
The newly promoted team of Cesc Fabregas, despite its ambitions and significant transfer moves made over the summer, is facing the increased demands of Serie A, having only one point after the first three matchdays. In contrast, Udinese’s journey saw them reach seven points, remaining unbeaten after their victory. Brenner was the player who scored the “golden” goal in the 43rd minute, with Como being the superior team on the field but failing to equalize. In the 95th minute, they even had a golden opportunity, but Cutrone missed a penalty.
