Serie A Roundup, Matchday 4
Matchday 4 of the 2025/26 Serie A season showcased thrilling games, surprising results, and remarkable performances from many players. This Serie A roundup provides an overview of the games from this round.
Lecce 1-2 Cagliari
Cagliari rallied to secure a 2-1 win over US Lecce at the Stadio Via del Mare, thanks to an outstanding display by Andrea Belotti. This victory represents the Rossoblù’s second consecutive Serie A win, while Lecce continue to occupy the bottom spot in the league standings. Consequently, Lecce have yet to claim a league win this season and will be quite frustrated to leave empty-handed after such a promising beginning to the match.
Bologna 2-1 Genoa
Bologna staged a comeback to prevent Genoa from securing their first Serie A win of the season at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, leaving the Rossoblù with only one home league defeat in 2025. Orsolini was the hero, confidently converting a penalty into the bottom-right corner to clinch a thrilling late victory during stoppage time.
Verona 1-1 Juventus
Hellas Verona’s winless run in the Serie A season persisted as they played a lively 1-1 draw against Juventus at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi, halting the Bianconeri’s perfect league start for 2025/26. Although Verona have yet to secure a victory in their first four matches, they have earned three draws and currently sit 15th. Meanwhile, the point gained puts Juventus 2 points behind Napoli, who are in first place.
Udinese 0-3 AC Milan
Christian Pulisic played a key role in all three goals, leading AC Milan to their third consecutive clean-sheet win as the Rossoneri easily defeated Udinese 3-0 away in Serie A. The home team failed to score, continuing their unfortunate streak of seven home league games without a win, while Milan secured their fourth straight head-to-head victory in Serie A, climbing to third place in the standings.
Lazio 0-1 AS Roma
AS Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini achieved his first Derby della Capitale triumph with a strong 1-0 win over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. Ultimately, Roma maintained their lead to claim their third win in four matches against their city rivals, with Matteo Guendouzi of Lazio receiving a red card after the final whistle for losing his temper and crossing the line.
Torino 0-3 Atalanta
A remarkable eight-minute burst in the first half secured Atalanta a 3-0 victory over Torino, keeping them undefeated in Serie A under Ivan Jurić and breaking a streak of consecutive head-to-head defeats against the maroon team from Turin, who have yet to score at home this season. Atalanta comfortably achieved their 13th away league win in their last 18 matches, while Torino suffered only their third loss in 14 games at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.
Cremonese 0-0 Parma
Cremonese and Parma played a dull 0-0 draw at the Stadio Giovanni Zini in a mostly uneventful Serie A match, with both teams producing a combined expected goals (xG) total of under 1.00. The draw drops Cremonese to sixth place, while Parma continues without a win under their new coach. Nevertheless, the result marks Parma’s first clean sheet of the season.
Fiorentina 1-2 Como
Jayden Addai netted a last-minute goal in the 94th minute, securing a 2-1 comeback victory for Como against Fiorentina at Stadio Artemio Franchi. This result leaves Fiorentina still without a win in Serie A this season. The away team earned only their second win in six Sunday away league matches since their promotion last year. Meanwhile, Fiorentina coach Stefano Pioli is facing increased pressure following his third consecutive home Serie A loss during his two spells with the club.
Inter 2-1 Sassuolo
Inter Milan secured a hard-earned 2-1 victory against a resilient Sassuolo team at the Giuseppe Meazza, preventing the Nerazzurri from experiencing a third consecutive Serie A loss for the first time since April 2023. In the end, Inter did enough to claim all three points, but this display is unlikely to satisfy critics following a shaky start to the season.
Napoli 3-2 Pisa
Napoli achieved their fourth consecutive win at the start of their Serie A title defense, with Leonardo Spinazzola contributing both a goal and an assist to help secure a hard-earned 3-2 victory against Pisa. Conte’s team remained resilient, extending their unbeaten streak at home in Serie A to 13 games (10 wins, 3 draws).
