Today the battles of the Italian championship have already begun and so far seven matches have been played.
In the first match, Florence's Fiorentina defeated Torino's footballers at home and after winning three points, they rose to third place.
Although there were not many opportunities in this match, they were enough for Josip Ilicic and Gonzalo Rodriguez to bring an important victory to their team in the fight for prize places.
In another match, Milan's Inter club released a victory against league newcomer Carpi at San Siro stadium. It seemed that the only goal scored by Rodrigo Palacio would help the hosts extend the victory with the usual result of 1-0, but the opponents managed to equalize even remaining ten men, and Kevin Lasagna's goal extended their point.
Meanwhile, Serie A leader Napoli, although bursting forward at the beginning of the match, faced serious resistance in Genoa. Local Sampdoria fought to the end and only succumbed to Maurizio Sarri's team in the last ten minutes, with Gonzalo Higuain, Lorenzo Insigne, Marek Hamsik and Dries Mertens all standing out today.
The final result - 4-2. Winning three points allowed the team from Southern Italy to maintain the first position.
