Scamacca returns, Juve defence questioned, Roma in action ⚔️

A Saturday full of friendlies, with several big Italian teams involved. Juventus showing some defensive issues, Atalanta finding Scamacca again, and Bologna enjoying Immobile.

Let's see what happened in today's matches.

RB Leipzig - Atalanta 1-2

Atalanta starts its series of summer friendlies on the right foot, overcoming Leipzig 2-1 in a comeback thanks to a convincing physical and technical performance. The Germans were the first to unlock the match with Openda in the first half, then in the final minutes, Dea overturned the result.

Scamacca, back to scoring after nearly a year out due to injury, equalized, while the 2003-born Bernasconi completed the comeback at 90' with a great right-footed shot from the edge of the box.

Juventus - Reggiana 2-2

A draw with some alarm bells for Juventus, who could not do better than a 2-2 draw against Reggiana. The Bianconeri were initially behind (goal by Girma) but then overturned the result with Conceiçao first and then Vlahovic (the Serbian also hit the crossbar).

With a coordination between the departments still to be refined and some defensive lightness too much, however, Juventus could not defend the result, letting themselves be reached by Gondo's goal 20' from the end.

Lens - Roma 0-2

Positive test in France for Gasperini's Roma against a high-level opponent. Good impact of the new signing Wesley, in his first from the 1', in a match where the winger made himself seen both with a save on the line in the early moments of the match and with a good understanding in construction with Soulé.

Roma took the lead in the first half with a tap-in by Mancini from a free kick, then Soulé scored the second in the second half, sealing a performance in which the Giallorossi demonstrated that they are implementing Gasperini's directives. However, the injuries of Ndicka and Soulé are a cause for concern.

Galatasaray - Lazio 2-2

A two-faced Lazio in the test against the Galatasaray, in front of a torrid atmosphere in Istanbul on the evening of the Turks' official presentation of Osimhen and Sané.

The match ends 2-2 with a double by Torreira for Galatasaray, while the Biancocelesti score with an own goal by Davinson Sanchez and a goal by Zaccagni.

Some good things in construction and some vertiginous counterattacks, like the one that led to the Biancocelesti captain's goal, were contrasted by several moments of confusion in defense: an example is the first goal, a header from a dead ball by Torreira and his 1.66 meters in height.

Twente - Udinese 0-1

Narrow victory for Udinese against Twente. The match was marked by the absence of Martin Payero, still out due to a physical problem amid many market rumors.

The match was decided by Iker Bravo at 50': a goal to crown a good performance. The team is confident, able to create many chances under the goal, and great satisfaction from Kosta Runjaic.

Bologna - Levadiakos 3-2

Bologna beats Levadiakos 3-2 in a lively match full of goals, in which the new signing Ciro Immobile emerged as the main protagonist, scoring a brace like a true striker.

If Immobile's goals put Bologna 2-0 up, the Greeks manage to bring the match back to a draw thanks to a quick brace by their Layous: two goals in three minutes, the first on a penalty. Dallinga resolves the match in the end, with the decisive goal at 88'. Posch was sent off for an argument with the referee.
