Atalanta’s Argentine signing Maxi Moralez bagged a brace on his Serie A debut. Arturo Vidal, Djibril Cissè, Miroslav Klose and Mostapha El Kabir also found the net at their first attempts.
Inter had not lost their opening game of the season since falling 2-1 at Reggina on October 1, 2000. Marcello Lippi resigned straight after the final whistle. They had since started the campaign with five wins and as many stalemates.
The Nerazzurri hadn’t conceded four in a single Serie A outing since Roma in March 2004, while the last time they let in four in Sicily was 4-2 on November 20, 1949.
Palermo’s last victory against Inter, home or away in all competition, was 3-2 on September 10, 2005 so they ended a run of four draws and eight losses. Fabrizio Miccoli has put five of his 81 League goals past the Nerazzurri, while Diego Milito hit six of his 53 against Palermo. They are El Principe’s favourite target, along with Cagliari, and this took him to 100 official goals for Italian clubs.
Dejan Stankovic celebrated both his 33rd birthday and his 300th official match in an Inter jersey, which include 210 Serie A, 25 Coppa Italia, seven Italian Super Cup, 55 Champions League, one European Super Cup and two Club World Cup appearances.
Milan-Lazio has ended in a draw for three years on the trot. The last three debuts as Champions of Italy have all been 2-2 results, against Lecce in 1999-00 and Livorno in 2004-05. Antonio Cassano got his 85th Serie A goal, but only the 14th header. Both Cassano and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have now put six past Lazio in their careers.
The Biancocelesti are still without a League victory over Milan, home or away, since a 2-1 at the Olimpico in 1998, followed by 13 draws and 14 defeats. Djibril Cissè had already scored against Milan in Liverpool’s Champions League winning penalty shoot-out in 2005.
Juventus hadn’t beaten Parma in Serie A since January 6, 2010, a 2-1 result at the Tardini, losing their next three meetings home and away. The last time the Bianconeri scored four Serie A goals in Turin was October 17, 2010 against Lecce. Antonio Conte finally started a campaign with a victory after four draws at the helm of Arezzo, Bari, Atalanta and Siena. Stephan Lichtsteiner got his fourth Serie A goal, where he hadn’t scored since Milan 1-1 Lazio on March 28, 2009, while Simone Pepe reached 23 and Claudio Marchisio 11.
Roma have played three official games this season, losing two and drawing the other. Their last home defeat to Cagliari was 4-1 on November 17, 1968, ending a run of 14 wins and 13 stalemates. In all the Sardinians have conquered the Capital three times in 33 Serie A attempts, drawing 14. Daniele De Rossi’s 30th Serie A goal was scant consolation. Daniele Conti is the son of Giallorossi legend Bruno and grew up in their youth system, but they are his favourite ‘victims,’ as five of his career 29 strikes were against the Lupi.
