&lt;p&gt;Serie A Enilive 2024/25 opened with a thrilling first weekend with some suspicions confirmed and new coaches already leaving a mark: Hellas Verona, Lazio and Juventus kicked off their seasons with convincing wins, whilst Gasperini’s Atalanta bagged four against Lecce to go straight to the top of the table. Both Inter and AC Milan were held to draws by Genoa and Torino respectively whilst Conte’s debut in the Napoli dugout was much less pleasant. In the era of three points for a win, this is only the second time that Napoli, AC Milan and Inter have all failed to win on matchday 1, the last time dates back to the start of the 2008/09 campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Saturday 17 August at 18:00 CEST, Simone Inzaghi’s &lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt; struggled to dominate at the Marassi against Gilardino’s &lt;strong&gt;Genoa&lt;/strong&gt;, being held to a &lt;strong&gt;2-2&lt;/strong&gt; draw which interrupted a long run of wins on matchday 1 for the reigning champions who won 12 of their last 13 season openers. The last day-one draw for a side that won the Scudetto the previous year dates back to 9 September 2011, AC Milan 2-2 Lazio. The Nerazzurri went behind thanks to a tap-in from &lt;strong&gt;Alessandro Vogliacco&lt;/strong&gt;, his first goal in Serie A, only to take back the lead with a &lt;strong&gt;Marcus Thuram brace&lt;/strong&gt;: the first a header on a ball from Barella and the second &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/thuram-beats-the-keeper-with-a-lob-13n3538e5jef4h&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;an elegant lob assisted by Frattesi&lt;/a&gt;. Genoa didn’t give in and levelled things up at the last minute through Junior Messias, back scoring in the league after 324 days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;3fe8cce1-d81d-4b2c-92bd-71c61d73cd04&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3fe8cce1-d81d-4b2c-92bd-71c61d73cd04&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/bbb57c20-b1e1-4dbd-8d59-6e38e854f194/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;3fe8cce1-d81d-4b2c-92bd-71c61d73cd04&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3fe8cce1-d81d-4b2c-92bd-71c61d73cd04&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the same time, &lt;strong&gt;Parma&lt;/strong&gt; were reintroducing themselves to the top flight at the Tardini with a 1-1 draw against &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt;. The Emilia side took the lead with a precise turning shot from&lt;strong&gt; Dennis Man&lt;/strong&gt;, his first goal at home in Serie A, but were caught up by a &lt;strong&gt;Cristiano Biraghi &lt;/strong&gt;free-kick that &lt;strong&gt;Zion Suzuki&lt;/strong&gt; couldn’t stop - the first Japanese keeper to play in our league. The Viola captain confirms his spot as a &lt;strong&gt;set-piece expert &lt;/strong&gt;having scored 8 goals with a direct free-kick since 2018/19, the most of anyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;5da7b76f-13f0-4991-8c70-ba08fd356b2e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5da7b76f-13f0-4991-8c70-ba08fd356b2e&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0fe948fe-5338-4c08-8f60-ecece2d1d709/GALLERY.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;5da7b76f-13f0-4991-8c70-ba08fd356b2e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5da7b76f-13f0-4991-8c70-ba08fd356b2e&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;That evening, &lt;strong&gt;Fonseca’s AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt; registered a&lt;strong&gt; 2-2 &lt;/strong&gt;draw against &lt;strong&gt;Vanoli’s Torino&lt;/strong&gt;. The Granata kept up their positive streak on matchday 1 by drawing for the second year in a row, which had not happened since 2006/07 and 2008/09. The Toro almost bagged a win after going two up thanks to a &lt;strong&gt;Thiaw own goal &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Duván Zapata&lt;/strong&gt;, the current player to have scored the most goals against the Rossoneri. However, the hosts managed to get themselves out of a tight spot thanks to changes off the bench from the new Portuguese coach: first &lt;strong&gt;Alvaro Morata &lt;/strong&gt;clawed one back, scoring a goal in Serie A 824 days after his last, and then substitute &lt;strong&gt;Okafor&lt;/strong&gt;, as per usual, dragged the Diavolo out of trouble with a nice volley in the opposition box.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;3a5568e6-fa08-405c-bd57-111706f63b33&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3a5568e6-fa08-405c-bd57-111706f63b33&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ac05a4be-931f-4227-a152-bb744d583036/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;3a5568e6-fa08-405c-bd57-111706f63b33&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3a5568e6-fa08-405c-bd57-111706f63b33&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Computer Gross Arena, the game between &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Monza&lt;/strong&gt; ended goalless. The Tuscan side, now in their 17th season in the top division, had never drawn in a league opener, whilst Monza managed to avoid a debut defeat for the very first time after losing to Torino and Inter in the last two years. The new Biancorossi goalkeeper, &lt;strong&gt;Pizzignacco&lt;/strong&gt;, showed his worth with some decisive saves on Gyasi and Colombo, whilst Daniel Maldini emerged as one of the players to have won the most duels. Of the Azzurri, Sebastiano &lt;strong&gt;Esposito&lt;/strong&gt; tried to make his mark by being the player with the most shots (4) across the 90 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;e8f5ea89-efab-4f02-942a-b5b410e818b9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e8f5ea89-efab-4f02-942a-b5b410e818b9&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/94cc4058-bb9f-4a75-9bb8-88fef4302e7d/GALLERY.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;e8f5ea89-efab-4f02-942a-b5b410e818b9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e8f5ea89-efab-4f02-942a-b5b410e818b9&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Sunday at 18:00 CEST, Zanetti’s &lt;strong&gt;Hellas Verona&lt;/strong&gt; inflicted an unexpected &lt;strong&gt;3-0&lt;/strong&gt; defeat on &lt;strong&gt;Antonio Conte’s Napoli&lt;/strong&gt; at the Bentegodi, the coach is back in Serie A Enilive after 3 years and 87 days. This was the first-ever defeat in a Serie A league opener for the Puglian coach, having picked up five wins and a draw in previous seasons. On the other hand, Verona won on matchday 1 for the second year running, thanks to a great collective performance and goals from the new arrivals. &lt;strong&gt;Dailon Livramento &lt;/strong&gt;made his debut in the tournament and bagged his first goal on his very first attempt, becoming the second &lt;strong&gt;Cape Verdian player &lt;/strong&gt;to score in the Italian top flight after Jovane Cabral. Similarly, it was &lt;strong&gt;Daniel Mosquera&lt;/strong&gt; who bagged a brilliant brace to bring &lt;strong&gt;Paolo Zanetti &lt;/strong&gt;a dream opener.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;235a0e35-99ac-43d0-b1d6-88827c7f527b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;235a0e35-99ac-43d0-b1d6-88827c7f527b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3f359f3c-f912-4cc9-b9c6-0349619a2321/Sito_HERO_ver_hl.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;235a0e35-99ac-43d0-b1d6-88827c7f527b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;235a0e35-99ac-43d0-b1d6-88827c7f527b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Dall’Ara, &lt;strong&gt;Bologna&lt;/strong&gt; began their season with a 1-1 draw against &lt;strong&gt;Udinese&lt;/strong&gt;. The Felsinei went ahead thanks to a &lt;strong&gt;Riccardo Orsolini &lt;/strong&gt;penalty, the second-highest-scoring Italian player in the top five European leagues since 2022/23 with 22 goals (behind Grifo with 23). The Friulian equaliser came from &lt;strong&gt;Gianetti&lt;/strong&gt; at the back post. Lukasz &lt;strong&gt;Skorupski&lt;/strong&gt; set himself apart by saving a penalty from Thauvin, confirming what we know from his spot as the number one goalkeeper with the most penalties saved in Serie A since 2022/23. For Udinese, this is their fifth consecutive year without a win on matchday 1, but for both of the new coaches, &lt;strong&gt;Italiano&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Runjaić&lt;/strong&gt;, it’s a good point on the board for the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;d43ef1de-e986-44e1-bc32-45466cc8d9d5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d43ef1de-e986-44e1-bc32-45466cc8d9d5&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/689934b6-1710-479b-a737-8acc64f489c6/Sito_HERO_bol.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;d43ef1de-e986-44e1-bc32-45466cc8d9d5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d43ef1de-e986-44e1-bc32-45466cc8d9d5&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The clash between &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt; in Sardinia at 20:45 CEST ended &lt;strong&gt;0-0&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Nicola&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;De Rossi’s &lt;/strong&gt;sides held each other back in a game devoid of goals. Roma almost broke the deadlock when Dovbyk hit the crossbar as well as had some dangerous moments with Soulé and Dybala, whilst Cagliari responded with Marin hitting the post. This is the second season opener in a row that ended in a draw for the Giallorossi which had not occurred since 1994/95 and 1995/96, whilst for Cagliari it is the second consecutive goalless draw on matchday 1 which had not happened since 1981 (seven draws in that instance).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;c13a5c97-d055-41d7-9250-7ebc216bcb23&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c13a5c97-d055-41d7-9250-7ebc216bcb23&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c8c2c3cd-e646-447e-bd34-55618f4646a0/Sito_HERO_cag.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;c13a5c97-d055-41d7-9250-7ebc216bcb23&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c13a5c97-d055-41d7-9250-7ebc216bcb23&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Olimpico, &lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt; didn’t disappoint and beat newly-promoted &lt;strong&gt;Venezia&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;3-1&lt;/strong&gt;, securing &lt;strong&gt;Baroni&lt;/strong&gt; a winning debut in front of the fans. Di Francesco’s side started brilliantly with &lt;strong&gt;Andersen&lt;/strong&gt; taking the lead after just 2 minutes and 41 seconds, the fastest goal this weekend, but didn’t manage to keep the hosts at bay. The Biancocelesti levelled things up through &lt;strong&gt;Castellanos&lt;/strong&gt; and completed the comeback thanks to a penalty from &lt;strong&gt;Zaccagni&lt;/strong&gt; and an Altare own goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;12ae7122-7ef2-4d6a-bf2c-40b76ab79dfe&#34; data-image-id=&#34;12ae7122-7ef2-4d6a-bf2c-40b76ab79dfe&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0abb5f86-e7d9-4c6f-9cc8-3b11038ab463/Sito_HERO_laz.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;12ae7122-7ef2-4d6a-bf2c-40b76ab79dfe&#34; data-image-id=&#34;12ae7122-7ef2-4d6a-bf2c-40b76ab79dfe&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Monday at 18:00 CEST, it was &lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;vs.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt; at the Via del Mare and a great 4-0 away win to start the season for Gasperini, proving his side to be one of the most solid and threatening in the league. For the seventh season running, the Dea bagged a day-one win, away from home and with two goals scored, establishing a historic record for the club. Two new arrivals, &lt;strong&gt;Marco&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Brescianini&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Mateo&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Retegui&lt;/strong&gt;, starred in the win for the Orobici by each bagging a &lt;strong&gt;brace&lt;/strong&gt;: the last time that two players made their debut for Atalanta in Serie A and both scored was on 21 August 2016 against Lazio ( Franck Kessié brace and Andrea Petagna goal in that case). Brescanini has become the youngest Italian midfielder to have scored six goals in Serie A without counting penalties since 2022/23, whilst Retegui aims right away at being the best striker in the league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;40206758-0ba6-488d-b393-be0e3b8c9e7a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;40206758-0ba6-488d-b393-be0e3b8c9e7a&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a5cbe00a-dd5c-4daa-a2b1-953bf5d062f3/Sito_HERO_ata.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;40206758-0ba6-488d-b393-be0e3b8c9e7a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;40206758-0ba6-488d-b393-be0e3b8c9e7a&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, &lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt; finished off this weekend’s games with a convincing 3-0 win over newly-promoted &lt;strong&gt;Como&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Thiago Motta’s&lt;/strong&gt; side, with an average age of only 24 years and 122 days, the youngest of any team fielded by the Bianconeri in the three-points era, flew high on the enthusiasm of a new generation ready to make a difference. &lt;strong&gt;Samuel Mbangula&lt;/strong&gt; opened the scoring, a young talent of just 20 years and 216 days, on his debut in Serie A with his first shot of the competition to become the youngest Belgian to score in the Italian top flight and the first to score for Juventus. After going ahead, &lt;strong&gt;Timothy Weah &lt;/strong&gt;doubled the lead, finishing off the work from &lt;strong&gt;Kenan Yildiz&lt;/strong&gt; on the wing, picking up his first assist in Serie A. In the dying moments,&lt;strong&gt; Andrea Cambiaso&lt;/strong&gt; put the game to bed with a precise shot past veteran goalkeeper, Pepe Reina. Juventus thus confirmed their winning tradition on matchday 1, making a total of &lt;strong&gt;60&lt;/strong&gt;, more than any other side in the history of the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;f2b23b77-c26a-4595-970c-00aaeeb1d660&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f2b23b77-c26a-4595-970c-00aaeeb1d660&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/71ae95bc-ef76-4f4b-aa87-ad32c81a4425/Sito_HERO_juv_gal.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;f2b23b77-c26a-4595-970c-00aaeeb1d660&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f2b23b77-c26a-4595-970c-00aaeeb1d660&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-01-13n3n86j1og1a0&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to revisit all the goals of Matchday 1!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

The Tuscan side, now in their 17th season in the top division, had never drawn in a league opener, whilst Monza managed to avoid a debut defeat for the very first time after losing to Torino and Inter in the last two years. The new Biancorossi goalkeeper, Pizzignacco, showed his worth with some decisive saves on Gyasi and Colombo, whilst Daniel Maldini emerged as one of the players to have won the most duels. Of the Azzurri, Sebastiano Esposito tried to make his mark by being the player with the most shots (4) across the 90 minutes.<figure data-asset-id="e8f5ea89-efab-4f02-942a-b5b410e818b9" data-image-id="e8f5ea89-efab-4f02-942a-b5b410e818b9"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/94cc4058-bb9f-4a75-9bb8-88fef4302e7d/GALLERY.png" data-asset-id="e8f5ea89-efab-4f02-942a-b5b410e818b9" data-image-id="e8f5ea89-efab-4f02-942a-b5b410e818b9" alt=""></figure>On Sunday at 18:00 CEST, Zanetti’s Hellas Verona inflicted an unexpected 3-0 defeat on Antonio Conte’s Napoli at the Bentegodi, the coach is back in Serie A Enilive after 3 years and 87 days. This was the first-ever defeat in a Serie A league opener for the Puglian coach, having picked up five wins and a draw in previous seasons. On the other hand, Verona won on matchday 1 for the second year running, thanks to a great collective performance and goals from the new arrivals. Dailon Livramento made his debut in the tournament and bagged his first goal on his very first attempt, becoming the second Cape Verdian player to score in the Italian top flight after Jovane Cabral. Similarly, it was Daniel Mosquera who bagged a brilliant brace to bring Paolo Zanetti a dream opener.<figure data-asset-id="235a0e35-99ac-43d0-b1d6-88827c7f527b" data-image-id="235a0e35-99ac-43d0-b1d6-88827c7f527b"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3f359f3c-f912-4cc9-b9c6-0349619a2321/Sito_HERO_ver_hl.png" data-asset-id="235a0e35-99ac-43d0-b1d6-88827c7f527b" data-image-id="235a0e35-99ac-43d0-b1d6-88827c7f527b" alt=""></figure>At the Dall’Ara, Bologna began their season with a 1-1 draw against Udinese. The Felsinei went ahead thanks to a Riccardo Orsolini penalty, the second-highest-scoring Italian player in the top five European leagues since 2022/23 with 22 goals (behind Grifo with 23). The Friulian equaliser came from Gianetti at the back post. Lukasz Skorupski set himself apart by saving a penalty from Thauvin, confirming what we know from his spot as the number one goalkeeper with the most penalties saved in Serie A since 2022/23. For Udinese, this is their fifth consecutive year without a win on matchday 1, but for both of the new coaches, Italiano and Runjaić, it’s a good point on the board for the future.<figure data-asset-id="d43ef1de-e986-44e1-bc32-45466cc8d9d5" data-image-id="d43ef1de-e986-44e1-bc32-45466cc8d9d5"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/689934b6-1710-479b-a737-8acc64f489c6/Sito_HERO_bol.png" data-asset-id="d43ef1de-e986-44e1-bc32-45466cc8d9d5" data-image-id="d43ef1de-e986-44e1-bc32-45466cc8d9d5" alt=""></figure>The clash between Roma and Cagliari in Sardinia at 20:45 CEST ended 0-0. Nicola and De Rossi’s sides held each other back in a game devoid of goals. Roma almost broke the deadlock when Dovbyk hit the crossbar as well as had some dangerous moments with Soulé and Dybala, whilst Cagliari responded with Marin hitting the post. This is the second season opener in a row that ended in a draw for the Giallorossi which had not occurred since 1994/95 and 1995/96, whilst for Cagliari it is the second consecutive goalless draw on matchday 1 which had not happened since 1981 (seven draws in that instance).<figure data-asset-id="c13a5c97-d055-41d7-9250-7ebc216bcb23" data-image-id="c13a5c97-d055-41d7-9250-7ebc216bcb23"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c8c2c3cd-e646-447e-bd34-55618f4646a0/Sito_HERO_cag.png" data-asset-id="c13a5c97-d055-41d7-9250-7ebc216bcb23" data-image-id="c13a5c97-d055-41d7-9250-7ebc216bcb23" alt=""></figure>At the Olimpico, Lazio didn’t disappoint and beat newly-promoted Venezia 3-1, securing Baroni a winning debut in front of the fans. Di Francesco’s side started brilliantly with Andersen taking the lead after just 2 minutes and 41 seconds, the fastest goal this weekend, but didn’t manage to keep the hosts at bay. The Biancocelesti levelled things up through Castellanos and completed the comeback thanks to a penalty from Zaccagni and an Altare own goal.<figure data-asset-id="12ae7122-7ef2-4d6a-bf2c-40b76ab79dfe" data-image-id="12ae7122-7ef2-4d6a-bf2c-40b76ab79dfe"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0abb5f86-e7d9-4c6f-9cc8-3b11038ab463/Sito_HERO_laz.png" data-asset-id="12ae7122-7ef2-4d6a-bf2c-40b76ab79dfe" data-image-id="12ae7122-7ef2-4d6a-bf2c-40b76ab79dfe" alt=""></figure>On Monday at 18:00 CEST, it was Lecce vs. Atalanta at the Via del Mare and a great 4-0 away win to start the season for Gasperini, proving his side to be one of the most solid and threatening in the league. For the seventh season running, the Dea bagged a day-one win, away from home and with two goals scored, establishing a historic record for the club. Two new arrivals, Marco Brescianini and Mateo Retegui, starred in the win for the Orobici by each bagging a brace: the last time that two players made their debut for Atalanta in Serie A and both scored was on 21 August 2016 against Lazio ( Franck Kessié brace and Andrea Petagna goal in that case). Brescanini has become the youngest Italian midfielder to have scored six goals in Serie A without counting penalties since 2022/23, whilst Retegui aims right away at being the best striker in the league.<figure data-asset-id="40206758-0ba6-488d-b393-be0e3b8c9e7a" data-image-id="40206758-0ba6-488d-b393-be0e3b8c9e7a"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a5cbe00a-dd5c-4daa-a2b1-953bf5d062f3/Sito_HERO_ata.png" data-asset-id="40206758-0ba6-488d-b393-be0e3b8c9e7a" data-image-id="40206758-0ba6-488d-b393-be0e3b8c9e7a" alt=""></figure>Finally, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Juventus finished off this weekend’s games with a convincing 3-0 win over newly-promoted Como. Thiago Motta’s side, with an average age of only 24 years and 122 days, the youngest of any team fielded by the Bianconeri in the three-points era, flew high on the enthusiasm of a new generation ready to make a difference. Samuel Mbangula opened the scoring, a young talent of just 20 years and 216 days, on his debut in Serie A with his first shot of the competition to become the youngest Belgian to score in the Italian top flight and the first to score for Juventus. After going ahead, Timothy Weah doubled the lead, finishing off the work from Kenan Yildiz on the wing, picking up his first assist in Serie A. In the dying moments, Andrea Cambiaso put the game to bed with a precise shot past veteran goalkeeper, Pepe Reina. Juventus thus confirmed their winning tradition on matchday 1, making a total of 60, more than any other side in the history of the competition.<figure data-asset-id="f2b23b77-c26a-4595-970c-00aaeeb1d660" data-image-id="f2b23b77-c26a-4595-970c-00aaeeb1d660"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/71ae95bc-ef76-4f4b-aa87-ad32c81a4425/Sito_HERO_juv_gal.png" data-asset-id="f2b23b77-c26a-4595-970c-00aaeeb1d660" data-image-id="f2b23b77-c26a-4595-970c-00aaeeb1d660" alt=""></figure><a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-01-13n3n86j1og1a0" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> to revisit all the goals of Matchday 1!
