Serie A Roundup, Matchday 7
Matchday 7 of the 2025/26 Serie A season featured exciting matches, unexpected outcomes, and outstanding displays from numerous players. This Serie A roundup provides an overview of the games from this round.
Pisa 0-0 Verona
In their inaugural Serie A encounter, Pisa SC and Hellas Verona ended in a goalless 0-0 draw at the Arena Garibaldi, with neither team securing their first league victory of the season. Both teams will need significant improvement in the attacking third if they hope to achieve survival this year.
Lecce 0-0 Sassuolo
Lecce extend their unbeaten run to three matches (1 win, 2 draws) after a 0-0 draw with US Sassuolo at Stadio Via del Mare. Although the points were up for grabs in the closing moments and Lecce appeared more likely to score, they were unable to break their recent head-to-head streak, having secured only one victory in their last 10 meetings (5 draws, 4 losses).
Torino 1-0 Napoli
Torino pulled off a surprise by defeating Napoli 1-0, marking only their second victory of the season. The defending champions suffered their second defeat in three league games and experienced a head-to-head loss for just the second time in their last 21 encounters. This marks the first occasion since early 2024 that Napoli have lost two consecutive away matches.
AS Roma 0-1 Inter
Inter Milan secure a 1-0 win over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. This victory represents their eighth win in the last ten league matches against the Giallorossi. Inter secured their sixth straight win across all competitions, matching Napoli and Roma with 15 points. Roma will be eager to bounce back quickly, as this was only their second Serie A defeat this season, but they have now lost two of their last three matches in all competitions.
Como 2-0 Juventus
Como climbed to 6th place in Serie A following a goal and an assist from Nico Paz, which helped secure an impressive 2-0 win over Juventus. This victory ended Juventus’ eight-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Como remained strong in the final moments, overtaking Juventus in the standings and extending their excellent home record to just one loss in 13 games (8 wins, 4 draws).
Genoa 0-0 Parma
Genoa’s streak without a home win extended to seven games after they were held to a 0-0 draw by Parma, who played with 10 men, at Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Serie A. Meanwhile, Parma have now gone four consecutive away league matches without scoring for just the third time in their history. Despite being down to 10 players, the Crusaders will likely be pleased to have earned a point under the circumstances.
Cagliari 0-2 Bologna
Bologna have climbed three spots to fifth place in Serie A after a 2-0 win against Cagliari at the Unipol Domus. This win puts the Rossoblù only 3 points behind the league leaders, AC Milan. As a result of the loss, Fabio Pisacane’s team falls to 13th in the Serie A standings.
Atalanta 0-0 Lazio
Atalanta recorded their fifth draw of the Serie A season after being held to a 0-0 stalemate by a resilient Lazio at the New Balance Arena. This outcome keeps Lazio only 5 points above the relegation zone, and they will be keen to deliver a stronger performance when they face Juventus next week. Meanwhile, Atalanta will believe they created enough chances to secure a victory, although managing only their second clean sheet in the last 12 competitive matches offers some small comfort.
AC Milan 2-1 Fiorentina
AC Milan have taken the lead in the Serie A standings following a 2-1 comeback victory over Fiorentina at the San Siro. This result leaves Fiorentina still without a win and stuck in the relegation zone. After Fiorentina’s initial efforts faded, Milan’s comeback proved crucial, moving them to the top of the table by a single point. The win also ended what had been looking like a promising match for Stefano Pioli on his 500th Serie A game as a manager.
Cremonese 1-1 Udinese
In the second half, Nicolò Zaniolo scored with a header to equalize after Filippo Terracciano had put Cremonese ahead early on, resulting in a draw between US Cremonese and Udinese in a closely contested match at the Stadio Giovanni Zini. This result extended Cremonese’s unbeaten streak at home to ten games. The match gradually lost momentum towards the end, with the only notable moment being a chance for Vardy, whose shot was deflected over the bar, leaving both teams satisfied with a point each.
