25 August 2019Concerning lazio to 'Marassi' with a resounding 3-0 at Sampdoria, Atalanta never tames a comeback of two goals in Ferrara and exceeds Spal 3-2. Roma goes three times forward and three times is taken up by Genoa for the Olimpico 3-3. These are the verdicts of the first day matured on Sunday evening. Where it is also worth noting the success of the newly promoted Brescia, 1-0 at Cagliari. Success at home to Torino on the Sassuolo 2-1, they split Verona and Bologna (1-1).

Atalanta of wonders begins its Champions League year in Ferrara and is almost annihilated by the aggressive start of the Semplici team. After 6 'Di Francesco goes online immediately, primed on the run by Petagna. At 26 'the same Petagna doubles, finding himself all alone on Igor's tirocross. Only at this point the Atalanta comes out of the shell and the game goes up in tone. Cross of Hateboer and Gosens in tow of head shortens to 34 '. Valoti, always on his head, could extend but Gollini says no. Before the break Zapata crosses head and rescue Berisha on Freuler's waving. Gasperini put Muriel in the 55th minute and the Colombian left a big mark on the race. At 70 'and 76' two right-handed surgical instruments from the limit, almost from the same position. Completion and overtaking completed.

A 'Marassi' in Di Francesco's 4-3-3, the trident is formed by Gabbiadini, Quagliarella and Caprari. Usual 3-5-2 for Simone Inzaghi, with Immobile and Correa in the advanced department. On 9 'Milinković-Savić engages Audero with a low-profile shot. In the 16th minute the goalkeeper denied the goal to Immobile. The biancocelesti are playing the game. At 33 'Correa sends to the shooting Immobile, aim imprecise of little. Samp occasion at 36 'with a shot "invented" by Quagliarella, Strakosha takes over the sphere. At 37 'Luis Alberto beats a free kick by catching the opponents by surprise, Immobile shoots on the offside thread and with a soft lob lays the ball on the net: for the bomber it is the 100th goal in Serie A. Start of recovery thrill for Audero, who first risks on Murillo's back pass (48 ') then redeems himself with a great reflection on Immobile (50'). But the Dorian goalkeeper capitulated to Correa in the 56th minute, after Luis Alberto had stolen the ball from Bereszinsky. Match closed at 62 'with Immobile making 101 with a close right plate.

At the Olimpico, in the Giallorossi of Fonseca, only new goalkeeper Pau Lopez was on the pitch; Kluivert in attack in place of Perotti, a last-minute injured, in line with Zaniolo and Ünder to inspire Džeko. Andreazzoli, a former Roma coach, has a 3-5-2 formation, with Kouamé and Pinamonti di punta. At 6 'giallorossi ahead with a personal action of Ünder jumping two opponents and with a left strikes Radu. The Turk fails immediately after doubling with a diagonal too wide. Launch of Criscito, Romero's head tower, control and left winning Pinamonti (16 '). New advantage Giallorossi thanks to a feat of Džeko, which is wedged between three defenders and with right low shot makes Radu dry. Zaniolo in turn (outside with a touch of a defender) and Florenzi on the fly on a corner (rejected by the goalkeeper of Grifone) give the impression of a Roma in control of the match. But in the 43rd minute (a foul by Juan Jesus on Pinamonti) Criscito on penalty re-establishes the balance (Lopez touches the ball, but does not avoid the goal). At the opening of shooting, Kolarov's masterpiece punishment: ball under the crossbar that bounces over the line, only thanks to the goal line technology the referee Calvarese concedes the net (49 '). The pace drops dramatically, the teams do not have 90 'legs. Lampo Genoa in the 70th minute, when Ghiglione flies to the right and centers for Kouamé's winning header. At 90 'Radu comes out of Cristante's feet to foil the Giallorossi's incursion. In the recovery, Zappacosta (from 78 'for Florenzi) misses the ball of victory from a few meters. And on Sunday there is the derby.

The Torino, forced to start the season early for the Europa League preliminaries, has now been run in and the Sassuolo is paying for the three-quarters of the race. Zaza opens the account in the 14th minute with a well-fed lead by Ansaldi. Doubt the doubling, always at the head, a few minutes later (on the overturning in front of a great chance for the neroverdi, Ferrari at the edge of the pole). At 55 'Belotti coordinates from the outside and his right hits Zaza, deviation that displaces Consigli. All easy for the grenade, but something seizes the mechanism after Caputo collects and bags after the pole hit by Boga in the 69th minute. Sassuolo believes it and almost grabs the same. Sirigu opposes Boga and risks Bremer's own goal, hit by the rebound. Raspadori manages to somehow turn towards the grenade door, still Sirigu reactive to keep the three points.

At the 'Bentegodi', applause to Mihajlovic who shows up on the bench to direct his Bologna 40 days after the announcement of the leukemia he is fighting against. And things are immediately good for the Bolognese. At 13 'Dawidowicz drowns Orsolini in the area and causes rigor and expulsion. From the spot goes Samson who is the center. Verona in ten suffers and resists. At 36 'Veloso straightens the match with a splendid left-footed shot. The peer holds up to the 90 'despite some rare attempt of the Bolognese (Santander on all) to make full booty.

In Cagliari, Brescia celebrates the return to A with three points that can be worth gold. Match winner Alfredo Donnarumma, who in the 54th minute transformed the penalty decreed (via Var) for a hand ball by Cerri on Chancellor's header. The Sardinians lose Pavoletti due to injury (to assess his condition) and overall have no great opportunities. More convincing are the 'Rondinelle', which can act on the counterattack for all or almost the recovery.
