Serie A opened its doors this Saturday evening with a small duplex of two matches. Defending champion Inter Milan traveled to Liguria to meet Genoa, on the pitch of the Luigi-Ferraris stadium, for this first day of Calcio. After Alessandro Vogliacco opened the scoring (20th), the international of the Blues, Marcus Thuram, equalized for the Nerazzurri thanks to a big powerful header (30th). While Thuram had caused a penalty, the VAR finally contradicted the referee’s decision (37th). But in the second half, the former Borussia Mönchengladbach striker put the Milanese in front on the counter (83rd), an achievement validated by the video after several minutes (83rd). In added time, Yann Aurel Bisseck was guilty of a handball, synonymous with a penalty (90th + 4). Junior Messias took charge, saw his attempt stopped by Yann Sommer but the Brazilian took the ball to equalize (2-2).
In the other match played simultaneously, the promoted Parma, who are celebrating their big return to the Italian elite, welcomed Fiorentina, now coached by Raffaelle Palladino, to their home ground of the Ennio-Tardini stadium. The Viola quickly surprised themselves with the opening goal from Dennis Mann, author of a formidable curling strike (22nd). In the second half, Cristiano Biraghi saved the Tuscans with a magnificent free kick into the top corner (75th). The expulsion of new recruit Marin Pongračić did not change the outcome of the match and the two teams left with a draw (1-1).
