Serie A 2024-25

What an eventful march, it's 3-2 now, Zielenski from the spot again.

In Inter 2nd goal there was pretty one-touch short passes to progress through the center area of the pitch before Mkhtariyan finished off accurately.

Game back on, Dumfries made it 4-2, but Juve are now back in contention, Yildiz with the 4-3 goal. 20 mins still left.

Game back on, Dumfries made it 4-2, but Juve are now back in contention, Yildiz with the 4-3 goal. 20 mins still left.

Dumfries and De Marco's defensive play is below average and Juventus are working them. Too bad for them their own defense is so bad.

 

[KlausJopling]

Wild game. Yildiz with 2 off the bench to tie it 4-4

 

[gary69]

It has happened 4-4, Yildiz with 2 goals in 10 mins after subbed in.

Both Thuram brothers now on the pitch, as Kheprem enters the match.

 

[luiginb]

Dumbfries' defense killing Inter, also subbing out Pavard for Bisseck weakened Inter's defence.

Motta on the other hand winning the sub game, Yildiz with two beautiful goals off the bench.

 

[gary69]

Freed from Allegri ball that shackled him at Juventus, Moise Kean with 2 goals already in the first half for Fiorentina. To be fair, he has still missed quite a few chances this season, but on the whole he has been good.

Viola trashing Roma, it's 5-1 after 70 mins, the latest was an embarrassing own goal by Hummels, who had just come in after Roma had a player sent off.

Hummels replaced Dybala, who seemed to be almost crying on the bench as that goal went in. Replacing De Rossi hasn't really worked for Roma well.

No worries. Totti will return and all will be well.

Bologna leading away at Cagliari, and deservedly so. Orsolini with the only goal, a beautiful play/strike that makes him the fourth highest scoring Italian currently in the Serie A. Cagliari need to make some changes, as Palomino seems to me over the hill and Zappa is one of those guys I've never understood why they play at this level.

Right after the break Odgaard makes it 0-2, with his second consecutive goal in Serie A.

 

[gary69]

Theo missing, Leao and Pulisic on the bench. Not good for Milan when facing league leaders Napoli.

And inevitably, Lukaku makes it 1-0 on the 5th minute, shrugging off Pavlovic defensive efforts.

Theo missing, Leao and Pulisic on the bench. Not good for Milan when facing league leaders Napoli.

Yeah that looks like a weak squad put out there by Fonseca who I think is already on the hot seat

Napoli already 1-0 up after a Lukaku trademark goal, where he just overpowered Pavlovic. Napoli could have had two in the first 5 minutes. Milan overwhelmed so far by the suprise leaders from Sicily.

 

[luiginb]

Loftus-Cheek bullying little Billy Gilmour in midfield and Milan turning the tide of the game, but with nothing to show on the scoreboard. An offense of Okafor-Morata-Chukwueze is not very inspiring.

 

[gary69]

Milan got better into the game, but Kvara strikes a decisive blow to make it 2-0 few minutes before half-time.

 

[gary69]

No relief for Milan at the start of 2nd half, as Morata's headed goal from a fine Chukwu cross is ruled out for offside.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Conte is doing it again.. the one year master.

It looked dire after their opening day defeat to Verona but it's been nothing but upwards since.

 

[luiginb]

Parma is such a fun/naive team, and they get another big result, a draw at Juve, after leading twice. Man needs to go play for a bigger club though, as his amazing assists need someone better than Charpentier at the other end.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Como concede another penalty. They’re really an unlucky team defensively but they’re also chaotic cesc would do well to replace Varane.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Not sure if that was on purpose but what a goal 2–1

 

[gary69]

Juve won earlier today and kept a clean sheet to get back on track.

Monza just scored early against Milan but it was ruled out because of previous foul on Theo Fernandez. Interestingly ref didn't give any yellows when half s dozen Monza players surrounded him, yelling at him and three players even grabbing him and touching him trying to overturn the decision.

Leao is still in the doghouse sitting on the bench.

Edit: And now Maldini just missed a sitter.

Edit2: Theo in disbelief, as Milan finally create something with him breaking through on the left flank and passing the ball for Okafor in a good position inside the box, only for Okafor to hopelessly messing his shot. Typical Okafor with terrible finishing. Usually it would have have been Leao there, and with much better end product.

Edit3: Maignan makes a great save and then a bit later Maldini hits the post. Monza has been much better than Milan, but it's still 0-0 after half an hour.

Edit4: And few minutes before half-time Milan goes 1-0 up against run of play. Morata's header was blocked by Monza defender, but it bounced to Reijnders instead to head it in.

 

[gary69]

Now the failed manager Fonseca has been red carded after 55 mins.

Leao replaces inept Okafor after 60 mins.

 

[gary69]

Leao went through 4 opponents with the ball with only keeper to face after that, but his finshing attempt was straight at the keeper. Looked like he tried to chip the keeper, but just couldn't get the ball high enough for it to go over the keeper.

And now Leao blasts the ball way over from inside the box. Nevertheless he has been much more involved than Okafor was.

In the end Milan hold on for an unconvincing 1-0 win.

 

[gary69]

Atalanta easily beat Napoli 3-0 away. Lookman with two well taken goals, nice shots. De Ketelaere assisted both. Retegui with the added time third goal, Atalanta fought surprisingly hard so late in the gate to have to score that goal. They even had an earlier Kolasinac headed goal disallowed.

This gives the chasing pack a chance, especially Inter who play later tonight.

And oh yeah, Moise Kean scored again in Fiorentina's 1-0 away win against Torino.

 

[gary69]

Soule scores his first goal for Roma, pretty backfoot flick inside the box to equalize against Verona.

 

[gary69]

It looked like Inter finally took the lead against Venezia on the 50th minute, as Di Marco passed to Mkhitaryan to score. The move was very similar to what Jordi Alba and Messi used to do back in the day. But it was ruled out for offside.

Sommer has made a couple of good saves to keep Venezia scoreless.
