A Serie A day for the strong-hearted and shocking verdicts rewrites the championship hierarchies, leaving a trail of heavy results already in the second round of the football championship. The biggest surprise comes from Florence. And it is on the bitterest birthday ever for Viola. On the Sunday of celebrations for the centenary of the club’s founding, the team coached by Grosso (“we show fragility and insecurities, there is a lot of work to do. We all have to give something more and raise our level a lot”), incredibly collapses at home under the blows of a perfect Frosinone. It ends with a resounding and indisputable 3-0 for the Ciociari, able to capitalize on every little mistake of the hosts. The absolute protagonist of the evening is the young striker Raimondo (22 years old, on loan from Bologna), author of a masterful brace (he had never scored in Serie A before yesterday) that silences the Florence crowd. But Raimondo is the man of the day. First, he breaks the deadlock with a lightning-fast run in the first half (26’), then doubles in the second half (68’), freezing the hopes of a Tuscan comeback (also scoring for the Ciociari is the 23-year-old defender Bracaglia who heads in the temporary 0-2, at 38’ of the first half) and it is also his first goal in Serie A.
NIGHTMARE In the final moments the team, led by coach Alvini, controls the game until the closing credits on a birthday party turned into a sporting nightmare. In the other Sunday afternoon match Berardi is the protagonist of Sassuolo’s victory at the Mapei Stadium against Torino. The Emilians take three golden points on their home field with a tight 2-1. The news of the day is precisely the return to the field of Domenico Berardi (absent in the first official games due to an ankle problem), and fate wanted the final signature on the match to be his. After a high-intensity game and with the score tied, the black and green winger invents the decisive play in the final minutes: a surgical cross that beats the granata goalkeeper Mascardi and gives a vital victory for Sassuolo’s standings. First Serie A win for coach Aquilani also thanks to Volpato’s goal in the first half (32’). Torino tastes bitterness for the many wasted chances but must surrender to the law of the Calabrian star, despite Comuzzo’s temporary equalizer deep in first-half injury time (47’). Finally, the most spectacular match of the day takes place in Brianza, where Udinese snatches a heavy victory winning 3-2 against Monza.

It is a chess game played openly by both teams. The Friulians escape ahead in the first half with Piotrowski’s goal (32’), showing cynicism and physicality, but Monza does not give up and gets back on track driven by their own crowd with Colpani’s 1-1 goal (37’). However, the Friulians unleash themselves at the end of the first half with goals, in three minutes, by Kamara (45’) and Ekkelenkamp (48’). Monza goes to the break two goals down. In the second half, the Brianza coach, Juric, tries to shake his team by bringing on new signings Folorunsho and Akinsanmiro. At 63’, Varela (second goal in the first two league games after scoring on his debut at San Siro against Inter) reduces the deficit, but the Friulians defend the 3-2 and take home their first win of the season, inflicting the biancorossi their second defeat.
