Yesterday the battles of the Italian championship began. The players of "Genoa" and Florence's "Fiorentina" tested their strengths for the first time. In the previous match - two goals by "Fiorentina". However, the match ended with a score of 1-1. In the 14th minute, Ciprian Tatarusanu directed the ball into his own goal, but in the second half Gonzalo Rodriguez managed to equalize with a goal. "Viola" remains in seventh place in the tournament table, "Genoa" is a step below. The country's vice-champion "Roma" had the opportunity to temporarily reduce the gap from the leader Turin's "Juventus" to 4 points. However, the most realistic chance is that now the "bianconeri" will be able to pull away even more. Rudi Garcia's protégés at home barely managed to draw against the "Empoli" club. In a match where two red cards were shown, the guests were the first to score. Massimo Maccarone was able to score from the penalty spot. In the second part of the duel, the result was equalized by defender Maicon. "Genoa" 1 - 1 "Fiorentina" [1-0] 14' Ciprian Tatarusanu (own goal) [1-1] 55' Gonzalo Rodriguez 81' Nicolas Burdisso (Genoa) sent off "Roma" 1 - 1 "Empoli" 38' Kostas Manolas (Roma) sent off [0-1] 39' Massimo Maccarone 45' Riccardo Saponara (Empoli) sent off [1-1] 57' Maicon
