Serie A
The Belotti-Candreva duel produced no winner, three points with De Kettelar for Atalanta
Roma faltered in the opening game of Serie A, parting ways with Salernitana in a 2-2 draw. The game developed into a personal duel between Belotti and Candreva. De Kettelar’s goal in Atalanta’s away win over Sassuolo.
The first game of the season for Roma saw Jose Mourinho from the stands as he was suspended (Roma legend Bruno Conti was on the bench) and proved very difficult for last year’s Europa League finalists.
And that’s because Salernitana looked very competitive and almost got the three points for the win while the hosts had to sweat to dodge the kazoo and grab the one point.
The protagonists of the game were Andrea Belotti and Antonio Cantreva. The former put Wolves ahead in the 17th minute with a powerful shot and saved the game in the 82nd with a header from a corner kick, while the latter equalized in the 36th with an elusive shot and the turnaround for team scored in the 49th minute. Paulo Souza completed a stunning shot with a masterful left-footed volley from just outside the box.
Notably, Belotti has not netted in a Serie A game since May 2022 (Torino – Empoli), ending a negative streak of 34 league games in which he was goalless, with Candreva, on the other hand, scoring for the goal fourth time in his career he scored two goals in a league game.
As for the other afternoon game of the day, Atalanta began their league duty with an away win, defeating Sassuolo in a game that bore the stamp of Charles De Quetelaar. The Belgium midfielder, on loan from Milan, came on as a substitute in the 46th minute and headed in after a try that was blocked at the post in the 84th minute, but Zortea came on in added time to give Dea the win seal.
Impressively, after 33 games and 22 final tries in the competition, De Kettelar scored for the first time in the league.

Incredibly, Mourinho, he sang it to Kvaratshelias and was hugging and kissing him within 10 seconds
An incredible scene took place in the first 45 minutes of the Roma-Napoli game in which Jose Mourinho first theatrically cheered Kvaratshelias and then hugged and kissed him within ten seconds.
Incredible scene in Rome – Napoli where Jose Mourinho first chants Quaratschelia and then within ten seconds hugs, kisses and talks to him as if he were his father.
In the 37th minute of the game, the Georgian international earned a foul and a yellow card from his opponent, in a phase that took place in front of Mourinho, who insisted that there was not even a foul.
Afterwards, the Portuguese technician initially shouted at Kvaratshelias, telling him that he was just acting, but as he approached Georgianos, he hugged him, kissed him and began talking to him in a very calm tone while the two men found each other. A little later, the recording showed Mourinho having a very friendly chat with Osimen.
