Serie A: Party for Milan vs Torino, Verona beats Roma

Milan had no opponents at San Siro and prevailed 4-1 her Turin for the 2nd matchday of Serie A and thus advanced to the top of the table.

With Christian Pulisic on the right, Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao in their usual positions, the Rossoneri created several chances to score. The American scored the opening goal in the 33rd minute, scoring in his second game for the Rossoneri.

The visitors equalized through Per Schurs, but nothing could stop the home team’s party. Giroud regained the lead with a penalty in the 43rd minute and Teo Hernandez extended it before half-time was over. In the second half, the French striker also converted the second penalty won by Stefano Pioli’s team to make it 4-1.

Roma struggled with “Marc Antonio Bedegoni” and was defeated by 1-2 from that Verona, a result that does not reflect the image of the game. The hosts took the lead through Audrey Duda in the 4th minute, but the ‘Giallorossi’ were the ones with chances of a post. Cyril Ngong doubled Verona’s tally before the end of the first half and the Romans only managed to reduce through Hussem Awar in the second half, where they continued to use their chances ineffectively.
