Lacklustre Roma draw against Verona

In a summer that saw them bring in some good summer signings, Roma dissapointed on opening weekend. They were behind at the hour mark when Bosko Jankovic hit a great volley to give Verona the lead and stunned the Roma faithful. But Roma struck back quickly as Alessandro Florenzi hit a great long range strike to level the score. It seemed the game had turned Romas way but Verona turned out to have many of the chances for the rest of the game. It took some good saves from newcomer Wojciech Szczesny to keep Roma in the game and they walked off dissapointed to only come away with one point from a game they should have won. 

Ricardo Kishna scores match winner for Lazio against Bologna

It was a very controlled game by Lazio as they walked away with three points against newly promoted Bologna. Lucas Biglia, who has been linked to Manchester United, opened the scoring for Lazio as they took the lead inside the first twenty minutes. Biglia found himself on the end of a Dusan Basta cross and he slotted it into the bottom right corner for the 1-0 lead. It was the perfect start from a Lazio team that looked to be in sync with each other from the first whistle. Then new man Ricardo Kishna found himself also on the end of a good cross and a poor Bologna clearance and smashed his effort into the back of the net. Bologna grabbed a goal back when Matteo Mancosu brought a goal back just after halftime when he finished a 1 on 1 chance to cut the lead in half. But Lazio controlled the rest of the game and held on thanks to a great save by Matteo Brighi to keep the lead for Lazio.

The new faces of Mario Mandzukic and others were present as the faced off against Udinese in what seemed like a very winnable game for Juventus. Juve had many chances early but didn't score as Roberto Pereyra failed to finish from close range and Mandzukic has his header just go wide of the bar before halftime. But the Old Lady found themselves trailing with 12 minutes left. Cyril Thereau received a great cross and was able to finish past Gianluigi Buffon to give Udinese the lead.

The former Man City man was the new hero for Inter as they secured three points on opening weekend. It was a crushing loss for Atalanta, who held on for dear life against a better team. But after three straight corners taken by Inter, something was bound to happen and it was Jovetic who found the back of the net and won the game for Inter.
