The eighth day of Serie A brings excitement and certainty, with hard-fought matches and significant results for the standings.
Inter won against Roma at the Olimpico, thanks to a decisive goal by Lautaro Martinez in the 60th minute. Despite the injuries of Calhanoglu and Acerbi in the first half, the Nerazzurri managed to maintain the lead and win three important points, which allows Inzaghi’s men to remain -2 from Napoli in the lead.
A victory that could have negative repercussions in view of the Champions League challenge against Young Boys and next day’s match against Juventus at the San Siro.
Show between Cagliari and Torino
Cagliari beat Torino in a match full of goals and emotions. After a balanced first half, with goals from Viola and Sanabria, the second half saw the Sardinians overturn the result thanks to Palomino and an own goal from Coco. This victory allowed Cagliari to move away from the bottom of the table and for Nicola, a former player, to win against one of his former clubs.
Atalanta swept the field of Venezia with a dry 2-0 win. Pasalic opened the scoring in the 7th minute, followed by Retegui in the 47th minute with an elegant spoon. With this victory, the Bergamaschi hook Fiorentina in fifth place with 13 points, while Venezia remain last. After an uncertain start, La Dea finally regained continuity of results.
Napoli leader of Serie A
In the lunch match, Napoli achieved the victory that was worth the first place in the standings thanks to a penalty, generous, converted by Kvaratskhelia in the 63rd minute.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, overwhelmed Lecce with a resounding 6-0 away win thanks to doubles from Cataldi and Colpani and goals from Beltran and Parisi. This historic result allowed the Viola to climb to fifth place, but Palladino paid dearly for this result by losing Gudmundsson and Kean to injury.
While waiting for the last challenge of the day, let us also remember the results of the day’s early matches, which saw narrow victories for AC Milan and Juventus and draws between Como and Parma, and Genoa and Bologna.
For a classification that sees Napoli first with 19 points followed by Inter with 17.
One point behind the Nerazzurri is Juventus with 16 and Milan at 14. At the bottom of the standings, Lecce and Venezia will have to do something to succeed in moving up the rankings.
