At halftime, Napoli took the lead after a 26th-minute penalty from Politano. Two minutes after the break, Dessers made it 1:1. A quarter of an hour before the end, Simeone ran onto a stretched cross at the back post of Radu’s goal and headed in the winner. They added safeties Lozano and Olivera in the setup. Newcomer Cremona has yet to win in the league and is second to last with three points, ahead of Sampdoria Genoa.
Bergamo footballers did not keep their two-goal lead on the Udine field. The visitors were put in the lead in the 36th minute by Lookman after a smart pass by Muriel, who then made it 2-0 from the penalty spot in the second half. Udine reduced the score in the 67th minute thanks to Deulofeu, and 11 minutes later Pérez equalized at 2:2. In the end, the home team reached for three points, but they could not use their pressure.
Udine is experiencing the best start to the Italian top flight in its history. After nine games played, they are in third place with 20 points, ahead of AC Milan.
AS Roma beat Lecce 2:1. The home team won after Smalling’s goal from the sixth and Dybala’s penalty from the 48th minute. Strefezza equalized for the visitors in the 39th minute. By that time, Lecce was already playing without the suspended Hjulmand. AS Rome is in fifth place.
