The big match at the Stadium between Thiago Motta and De Rossi ends 0-0. Four teams are tied at the top of the standings with 7 points each

Few thrills and zero chances at the Allianz Stadium as Juventus and Roma deliver a dull match. Daniele De Rossi’s Roma, well-organized on the pitch, managed to limit Juventus, who maintained possession but failed to create any significant threat in the opposition area. In the first half, Roma attempted to score with Soulè and Pellegrini, but Juventus’ defense held firm.

In the second half, Thiago Motta brought on new signings Koopmeiners, Conceição, and Nico Gonzalez, but the dynamic remained unchanged. The Portuguese winger, the son of a former player, tried to break through Roma’s defense without success. The final whistle secured a point for both teams, a result that certainly pleased Roma more, coming off a home defeat to Empoli. For Juventus, it was a missed opportunity.

Elsewhere, Udinese defeated Como 1-0 at the Dacia Arena thanks to a goal by Brenner in the 43rd minute. Como had the chance to equalize with a penalty awarded for a handball by Payero, but Patrick Cutrone missed the target. This marks the second consecutive home win for Udinese, who had previously beaten Lazio, putting them at the top of the standings alongside Juventus, Inter, and Torino, all with 7 points.

In the 18:30 matches, Paolo Zanetti’s Verona bounced back from a 0-3 loss to Juventus by securing a 2-0 victory over Genoa, with goals from Tchatchoua and Tengstedt. Meanwhile, at the Franchi Stadium in Florence, the game was full of drama: Monza went up 2-0 against Fiorentina with goals from Djuric and Daniel Maldini, but Raffaele Palladino’s Viola fought back. Kean scored just before halftime, and new signing Robin Gosens found the equalizer in stoppage time.
