Serie A 2023/24: Matchday 1 Results
The 2023/24 Serie A season is underway, and it got going in real style on August 19, 2023. Defending champions Napoli and fellow title hopefuls Inter got started with wins against Frosinone and Monza respectively, each getting off on the right foot.
Napoli's attempts to defend their title started badly though, falling behind against newcomers Frosinone inside 10 minutes. But Matteo Politano and an excellent Victor Osimhen saw them turn things around to win 3-1.
Inter had a more straightforward opener at home to Monza and Lautaro Martinez led from the front, scoring twice in a 2-0 win. Fiorentina won 4-1 at Genoa and Hellas Verona beat Empoli 1-0 in Saturday's other games.
Sunday's Serie A results produced just as much excitement, and the first surprises of the season weren't long in coming as Lecce came from behind late on to turn a 1-0 deficit in the 85th minute into a 2-1 win over Lazio, while Salernitana managed a 2-2 draw away at AS Roma as well, fired on by Antonio Candreva.
Elsewhere, Charles De Ketelaere enjoyed a dream debut as he scored to help Atalanta win 2-0 at Sassuolo, and Juventus made light work of Udinese in a 3-0 win on the road.
Monday night's action began with Torino and Cagliari drawing 0-0 in Piemonte. AC Milan then won 2-0 away at Bologna with Olivier Giroud and Christian Pulisic.
