The Serie A season kicked off with a captivating clash, as Roma and Salernitana played out an exciting 2-2 draw.
Despite being without the suspended Mourinho, Roma, led by Bruno Conti, had a rollercoaster start. Andrea Belotti scored twice for Salernitana, while Candreva’s stunning brace balanced the scales.
While Roma and Salernitana drawing…
The teams shared a point each, with Roma breathing a sigh of relief. Atalanta made a bold statement as Charles De Ketelaere’s 84th-minute header secured a 2-0 win against Sassuolo.
The Belgian, recently joining from Milan, replaced Zapata and became a force to be reckoned with, ultimately sealing the game alongside Zortea’s superb strike in injury time.
In a tale fitting of football’s grand narratives, Charles De Ketelaere was pivotal in Atalanta’s 2-0 victory over Sassuolo, marking their debut win in Serie A.
The Belgian, substituting in the second half, stood out in Gasperini’s lineup. At Mapei Stadium, Zapata and Lookman posed threats, but it was CDK who made the game-changing impact.
Gasperini’s tactical change at the start of the second half turned the tide. De Ketelaere’s near miss header and a crossbar hit set the stage for his defining moment. In the 84th minute, he netted a header on Ruggeri’s cross, goalkeeper’s attempt to stop it proved futile.
De Ketelaere’s first Serie A goal propelled Atalanta into the lead. Another substitution proved pivotal as Zortea’s perfect diagonal secured the 2-0 victory, unveiling a new star for Atalanta.
Everything easy for Juventus
Juventus began their campaign on the right foot, clinching a comprehensive 3-0 win against Udinese. In just 45 minutes, the Bianconeri outclassed their opponents.
Chiesa opened the scoring in the 2nd minute, followed by Vlahovic’s penalty and Rabiot’s header. Szczesny’s goalkeeping brilliance foiled Udinese’s attempts in the second half.
Lazio misses the first match
Lazio’s Serie A start was anything but favorable, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Lecce at Via del Mare. Immobile’s early strike was overshadowed by Almqvist’s stunning goal and Di Francesco’s late clincher. D’Aversa’s men secured all 3 points, leaving Lazio to play catch-up in the season’s early stages.
