Eight matches were played in the Italian "Serie A" on Wednesday evening.
Defending champion "Milan" continues to struggle, playing a 1-1 draw at home with "Udinese". Massimo Allegri's team has not won a single game in the first three matches and is at the bottom of the league table.
Other favorites have also not much to celebrate. Turin's "Juventus" lost their first points, playing a 1-1 draw with "Bologna" in front of their own fans.
It's worth noting that "Juventus" played the match without their goal scorer Mirko Vucinic, who received two yellow cards in the first half. "Bologna" took advantage of this in the second half, equalizing the score in the 52nd minute through Daniele Portanova.
Meanwhile, "Napoli" unexpectedly lost 0-1 to Verona's "Chievo" away from home. Napoli had won their first two matches, but after this defeat, they dropped to fourth place.
Marius Stankevicius made his first appearance in the starting lineup for Rome's "Lazio". Unfortunately, the Lithuanian defender's game didn't go well, as his mistake led to "Cesena" scoring in the 14th minute through Adrian Mutu.
However, in the second half, goals from Hernanes and Miroslav Klose turned the game around, and Stankevicius was substituted in the 64th minute.
