Rafael Leao scored the only goal in Milan after only eight minutes of play. The Portuguese striker scored in the third league match in a row, which he managed for the first time in his Milan engagement. Kick-off was delayed by 25 minutes due to heavy rain and hail.
The “Rossoneri” have reached first Inter Milan in the table with 12 points, who have Sunday’s match against Empoli to spare.
Juventus could get ahead of both Milan teams, but failed in Sassuolo. At halftime, the home team led 2:1 after goals from Lauriente and Berardi and an own goal from the visiting Vini. The ‘Old Lady’ managed to equalize twelve minutes from time after Chiesa blasted through everything in his path with Cragno’s goal.
However, in just four minutes, goalkeeper Szczesna sent Lauriente a sharp shot directly in front of him, and Pinamonti decided with his head. The Italian forward made his mark in the league for the fourth time. In the set-up, he sealed Juventus’ first league defeat of the season with a Gatti own goal. The 25-year-old defender did not notice that the Polish goalkeeper was not standing between the posts when passing back to Szczesné and sent the ball into the net. Sassuolo managed to score four goals against Juventus for the first time in the history of the Italian top flight.
Lazio Rome only drew 1:1 with Monza at home. The goal for the home team was scored from a penalty kick by Ciro Immobile, who broke the mark of 250 goals or assists in matches in the five most important European leagues. Last year’s Serie A vice-champions from Rome are struggling in the new season, so far they have won only on the field of the champions from Naples (2:1). With four points, they are in 15th place, just above the relegation zone. Monza has one point more.
