Serie A Roundup, Matchday 3
The third round of the 2026/27 Serie A season featured exciting matches, unexpected outcomes, and outstanding displays from numerous players. This Serie A roundup provides an overview of the fixtures held on that matchday.
Genoa 1-4 Como
Como delivered an impressive performance on the road, extending their unbeaten run in the Serie A season to three matches with a convincing 4-1 win over Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, continuing the home team’s search for their first points of the campaign.
Fiorentina 1-2 Torino
Ignazio Abate achieved his first victory as Torino’s manager, leading a 2-1 comeback against Fiorentina. This marked only Fiorentina’s second loss in 37 home Serie A head-to-head matches and their first defeat in nine encounters at any location. This loss has resulted in the sacking of Fabio Grosso as Fiorentina’s head coach.
Inter 3-2 Napoli
Inter Milan avoided dropping their first points of the season by coming back from a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 against Massimiliano Allegri’s Napoli at the Giuseppe Meazza, securing their first victory in seven Serie A head-to-head matches. With this result, Inter extend their nearly 10-month unbeaten streak at home in Serie A (10 wins, 3 draws), reclaiming the top spot in the league early in the season. Napoli suffered their first defeat in seven Serie A away games (4 wins, 3 draws), a tough blow as they face consecutive losses.
AS Roma 2-1 Atalanta
Roma scored two quick late goals to overturn a 2-1 win against Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico, reclaiming the top spot in Serie A and ending a nine-game winless streak in head-to-head matches. Gian Piero Gasperini secured his first victory against his former club, who suffered a loss in their first away game of the season since 2017.
Parma 1-1 Monza
Parma earned their first point of the Serie A season by drawing 1-1 with AC Monza at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, preventing what would have been their first-ever three consecutive losses at the start of a top-division campaign. Parma demonstrated determination by coming back after falling behind, but with upcoming matches against Como and Inter Milan in their next three games, they will need to perform significantly better than they did in this match if they want to gain momentum.
Frosinone 3-2 Venezia
Frosinone netted a late goal to secure a 3-2 victory over Venezia at Stadio Benito Stirpe. The newly-promoted Canaries achieved their second win in their first three Serie A games for the first time ever. This result lifts Frosinone to seventh place, while Venezia suffered their third straight defeat, extending their streak without an away league win to 28 matches.
Bologna 2-2 Sassuolo
Artem Dovbyk scored a 91st-minute equalizer to secure a 2-2 draw for Bologna against Sassuolo at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, preventing a third consecutive loss under coach Domenico Tedesco. Although Bologna managed to come back and earn a point, they have only won one of their last 10 home matches, while Sassuolo have failed to win in their last eight consecutive league away games.
Juventus 1-1 AC Milan
Federico Gatti netted a last-minute equalizer in the 92nd minute, helping Juventus secure a 1-1 draw against AC Milan at the Allianz Stadium and extending their unbeaten streak in Serie A head-to-head matches to seven games. Gatti headed in a perfect cross from Teun Koopmeiners just four minutes after coming on, his second consecutive goal scored after the 90th minute, to earn a point for Juventus.
Cagliari 1-0 Lecce
Cagliari secured their first home victory of the new Serie A season by defeating US Lecce 1-0 at the Unipol Domus, preventing their first streak of three consecutive home losses in all competitions since October 2025.
Udinese 1-2 Lazio
Albert Guðmundsson scored a late header on his debut for Lazio, securing a 2-1 comeback win against Udinese. This victory marked Lazio’s third consecutive win in their first three Serie A matches, a feat they have achieved only twice before. It was also Lazio’s fourth win in their last five away league games. Meanwhile, Udinese’s unbeaten run this season came to an end, and they have now managed just one win in their last seven Serie A home matches (with two draws and four losses).
