Juventus beat Roma to finish top of Serie A after the first round
Juventus beat Roma to finish the first round of Serie A at the top of the standings. One player from each side had to leave the game early due to serious injury (2-1). The big game in the Italian capital grabbed the attention of the soccer public immediately after the Spanish Super Cup match. For some, a separate battle between the two Madrid teams was not mandatory to watch, and preference was given to the game in Rome's Stadio Olimpico, where in the nineteenth round of the local Roma under Paulo Fonseca tried to protect their position in the standings from the encroachment of Atalanta Bergamasque. And the picture for the "wolves" was, let's face it, far from reassuring. Of the teams in the top four of Serie A, only Roma and Juventus had disappointing statistics in the stretch of five previous meetings. And so, in a match that began exactly one day before the Inter-Atalanta clash, both the Zebrette and the Romans were given unexpected opportunities. For Paulo Fo...

Their home is the 70,050 capacity Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex. Since 1936, Dynamo has spent its entire history in the top league of Soviet and later Ukrainian football.

Malinowski's assist did not help Atalanta - the team left the Cup
Malinowski's assist didn't help Atalanta - the Ukrainian's team was eliminated from the Italian Cup by Fiorentina In the match of the 1/8 finals of the Italian Cup between Fiorentina and Atalanta, the Violets celebrated a dramatic victory (2:1). After a good match against Inter, Ruslan Malinowski was entrusted with a place in the main lineup. Gian Piero Gasperini also made changes in the attack, replacing Zapata with Muriel, and he also brought on center back Caldar - it was his first match after returning to Atalanta. Ilicic and Gomez also remained in reserve. The Bergamaschi failed to start the match. Fiorentina immediately covered the opponent with high pressure from the opening whistle, as a result of which the visitors' defenders made a number of gross mistakes. In the 11th minute, such football resulted in a logical goal for the Violets: Coutrone made a great opening on the penalty line and played into the wall with Dalber, who went down the left flank and rol...
