It is only the second round of Serie A, but the Italian league continues to offer one surprise after another, with top teams falling and losing points in matches in which they were expected to win easily. Roma, Atalanta and Lazio lost, Juventus drew against Bologna amidst a thousand controversies: the race for the Scudetto for some teams is already a struggle! Let's see what happened...
SURPRISE OF THE WEEK - FROSINONE BEAT ATALANTA
Surprisingly, but deservedly so, Frosinone beat Atalanta and found their first three points in Serie A at only the second available opportunity. The team coached by Eusebio Di Francesco had all their talent on display, putting the Bergamaschi on the ropes with a solid and convincing performance.
Frosinone took the lead first with Abdou Harroui, who, after scoring at Napoli with a penalty, found a nice wriggle driving centrally and sent the ball into the net, then doubled it with Ilario Monterisi, a central defender who did a long apprenticeship before arriving in Italy's top competition.
Then Duvan Zapata found a nice goal - but Atalanta had to surrender to Frosinone, which played the whole match with aggressiveness and personality, leading the game against a stronger and more experienced opponent.
Di Francesco came from a bad past, but the management of the Ciociari bought players he liked and gave him confidence, and now it shows. Certainly the game won by Frosinone was the surprise of the week, despite the fact that there were defeats for Lazio and Roma over the round.
