He wasn’t stopped by a coronavirus either. Healing Ibrahimovic managed the Milan derby with two goals

Ibrahimovic missed his team in two Serie A matches and in the preliminary rounds of the European League, but immediately after his return he continued the two-goal performance from the league match against Bologna. With 12 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, Samira Handanovič needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn’t succeed. The “Rosonerri” scored in the 24th league match in a row, the last time they did in 1973.

Four minutes later, Ibrahimovic took advantage of Rafael Lea’s exact passport and finished comfortably. The 39-year-old striker equaled Silvia Piola’s record in the number of matches in the Italian league, in which he scored at least two goals after reaching the age of 38. Both succeeded in four matches.

Romelu Lukaku reduced the lead after 28 minutes to make it 0 – 0, as Inter finished off a strike from the left. AC Milan defeated its rival after eight league matches and after four matches it is at the top of the table with a 100% balance.

Juventus started in a combined line-up without a number of supports, including the stellar Cristiano Ronald, who is in isolation after a positive test for coronavirus. Serie A record holder goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon played the 650th match in the Italian league. As many as seven of his teammates from the basic line-up were not yet born when the 42-year-old goalkeeper made his debut in the competition in 1995.

Buffon collected in the 12th minute after Simy’s exact penalty kick, but “Old Lady” soon equalized thanks to Álvaro Morata. The situation for the defending champions was complicated by the red card of the debuting Federico Chiesa, Morata then hit the bar and the second goal was taken away by the video referee after a close offside.

After the second draw of the season, Juventus loses four points to first place. Crotone scored his first points after three defeats.

In the match Naples – Bergamo, the home team decided in the opening act with four goals in 20 minutes. As in the last match with Genoa, Hirving Lozano scored twice, other goals were added by Matteo Politano and, for the first time, by Victor Osimhen, a summer reinforcement from Lille. Atalanta corrected the score after a change of sides thanks to Sam Lammers.

Naples won the third match of the year, yet with eight points it is only behind its current opponent. After not competing against Juventus due to a coronavirus infection, the “Partenopei” team lost by default and also lost one point. Naples appealed against the disciplinary commission’s decision.

Italian Football League – Round 4:

Neapol – Bergamo 4: 1 (23. to 27. Lozano, 30. Politano, 43. Osimhen – 69. Lammers), Inter Milan – AC Milan 1: 2 (28. Lukaku – 12. a 16. Ibrahimovic), Sampdoria Genoa – Lazio Rome 3: 0 (32. Quagliarella, 41. Augello, 74. Damsgaard), Crotone – Juventus Turín 1: 1 (12. Simy z pen. – 21. Morata).
