Week two of Italy's top league delivered the kind of drama fans love – surprise wins, a few shock defeats and some standout performances. If you missed the action, this roundup tells you everything you need to know, from who scored to how the table changed.
Napoli showed why they’re a title threat, beating Juventus 2‑1 at home. Lorenzo Insigne opened the scoring early, and a late header from Victor Osimhen sealed the win after a swift counter‑attack. Juventus managed a consolation strike from Paulo Dybala, but it wasn’t enough.
In Milan, the derby lived up to the hype. AC Milan edged Inter 3‑2 in a nail‑biter at San Siro. The match saw a hat‑trick from Zlatan Ibrahimović, who scored twice in the first half and added a penalty in the second. Inter’s Romelu Lukaku replied with two goals, but the Swedes held on for all three points.
At the other end of the table, newly promoted Salernitana earned a crucial 1‑0 victory over Lazio. A long‑range strike from Federico Bonazzoli gave Salernitana the lead, and a solid defensive display kept Lazio at bay.
Other notable results include Fiorentina’s 2‑0 win over Torino, thanks to a brace from Dusan Vlahovic, and Roma’s 1‑1 draw with Sampdoria after a late equaliser from Andrea Belotti.
Napoli’s win moves them to the top of the league with six points, pushing Juventus down to fourth. AC Milan’s triumph lifts them to second place, just a point behind Napoli, while Inter drops to third after the loss.
On the scoring chart, Vlahovic’s two goals keep him as the early leader with three goals in two games. Ibrahimović’s hat‑trick puts him level with Vlahovic, and Osimhen adds his second goal of the season, joining the top‑five scorers.
Defensively, Salernitana’s clean sheet against Lazio highlights their organization, while Juventus concedes three goals for the second consecutive match – a trend they’ll need to fix quickly.
Looking ahead, Week 3 promises more intrigue. Napoli faces Roma in a clash that could decide who stays at the summit, while Juventus must bounce back against Atalanta to keep their title hopes alive. Keep an eye on Vlahovic and Ibrahimović as they battle for the Golden Boot, and watch the relegation battle tighten around the bottom three.
