Juventus-Roma 0-0
Although this year’s “versions” of Juventus and Roma do not exude the aura of the past and their clash does not hold the same prestige, their match at the Allianz Stadium for the 3rd round of Serie A had the characteristics of a classic Italian derby.
A very tight game, with the defenses taking the lead and the good moments appearing sparingly, even though both coaches, Thiago Motta and Daniele De Rossi, have shown a willingness to present attacking football. Juventus had a very important opportunity in the 42nd minute when Svilar made an impressive save against Vlahovic’s effort, a moment that was the most noteworthy of the match.
Juventus: Di Gregorio, Savona, Kampa (46′ Kopmeiners), Gatti, Bremer, Locatelli (67′ McKennie), Fagioli (67′ Douglas Luiz), Cambiaso, Bangula (46′ Conceição), Yildiz, Vlahovic (82′ Gonzalez).
Roma: Svilar, Angelino, Celik, Mancini, Endika, Cristante, Pisilli (72′ Kone), Pellegrini (82′ Baldançi), Salemakers (62′ Zalewski), Sule (62′ Dybala), Dovbic (82′ Somorodov).
Udinese-Como 1-0
The newly promoted team of Cesc Fabregas, despite its ambitions and significant transfer movements it made over the summer, finds itself facing the increased demands of Serie A, having only one point after the first three rounds. In contrast, Udinese, with its victory, has reached seven points and remains unbeaten. Brenner was the player who scored the “golden” goal in the 43rd minute, with Como being the superior team on the pitch but unable to equalize. In the 95th minute, they even had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Cutrone missed a penalty.
