Italy’s soccer record champions Juventus Turin stopped the historically bad start to the season and with a lot of effort won their first Serie A win at Spezia Calcio with 3: 2 (1: 1).

After the guest lead by Moise Kean after 28 minutes, the outsider struck back on Wednesday and turned the result around with goals from Emmanuel Gyasi (33rd) and Janis Antiste (49th) to a surprising 2-1 lead.

Within six minutes, Federico Chiesa (66th) and Matthijs de Ligt (72nd) secured the triumph for the favorite with their hits.

Previously, Juve and coach Massimiliano Allegri had only scored two points in the first four league games, the last time that happened to the Bianconeri 60 years ago and only three times in their club history (1942/43, 1955/56, 1961/62). The Turin team have been waiting for a clean sheet for 19 games - that has not happened to any other club in Europe's top leagues during this period.

After the successful start in the Europa League, AS Monaco celebrated their second win of the season with coach Nico Kovac in the French Ligue 1. With goalkeeper Alexander Nübel and national player Kevin Volland in the starting line-up, Monaco beat AS St. Etienne 3-1 (1-1) at home on matchday 7. The former Leverkusen-based Volland marked the lead in the 28th minute with a sharp shot from a slightly acute angle. Just six minutes later, visiting goalkeeper Etienne Green saw the red card after a gross foul on Monaco striker Myron Boadu. But despite being outnumbered, St. Etienne equalized through Denis Bouanga (41st).

After the restart, captain Ben Yedder (60th) brought the home side back into the front with a converted hand penalty, before he volleyed the decision in the 85th minute after the preparatory work by Volland.

Stade Rennes celebrated a 6-0 (2-0) home win against Clermont Foot.

Champions OSC Lille defeated Stade Reims 2-1 (2-0) in their second home win.
