Another weekend of Serie A concludes, awaiting Monday’s matches. The highlight of the fourth round is Antonio Conte’s Napoli, positioning itself as a title contender with a 4-0 victory at Cagliari, again led by Romelu Lukaku. In just his second appearance for Napoli, the former Inter and Roma striker was pivotal, scoring (the temporary 3-0) and providing two assists for Di Lorenzo and Kvaratskhelia.
In stoppage time, Buongiorno sealed the 4-0 result. Conte's side now tops the league with 9 points, setting up a crucial clash against Juventus next week at the Allianz Stadium. Napoli capitalized on the missteps of Juventus and reigning champions Inter, who were held to a draw by Monza’s Dany Mota. Dumfries salvaged a point for Inter after the home side's initial 1-0 lead, preventing their first defeat of the season.
Thiago Motta's Juventus, meanwhile, struggled to a goalless draw at Empoli. De Rossi's Roma also faltered, conceding a last-minute equalizer to Genoa in the 96th minute. De Winter’s goal snatched victory away from the Giallorossi after Dovbyk's first goal in Italy. Roma remains winless after four games, languishing near the bottom of the table with just 3 points.
In Saturday's early match, Fonseca’s Milan secured their first win with a dominant display against Venezia. Goals from Theo Hernandez, Fofana, and penalties by Pulisic and Abraham sealed a comfortable 4-0 victory. Atalanta also celebrated the opening of their new stadium and the return of Lookman, who starred in their 3-2 win over Fiorentina. Retegui contributed with a goal and an assist, while De Ketelaere also found the net.
