Everton - Roma 0-1

Roma redeems itself after the KO with Aston Villa: the Giallorossi resist in the first half against a physically better Everton and then take the lead in the second.

The decisive goal, a gem, by Matias Soulé gives Roma the victory thanks to his left-footed shot that found the far post on an assist from Mancini. A good performance by Gasperini's men, showing significant improvement from their last outing.

Racing Santander - Cagliari 0-0/1-1

First round of the day between Pisacane's Cagliari, filled with young players and reserves, against Racing Santander, a Spanish Serie B team. Nothing noteworthy with a 0-0 that served more for physical preparation than anything else.

Burnley - Lazio 0-1

Sarri's Lazio wins in England thanks to a decisive goal by Cancellieri, a player on the edge but a protagonist of a great pre-season.

A good test for the Biancocelesti, although it's worth noting Mattia Zaccagni's penalty miss, his second consecutive failed penalty.

Heidenheim - Parma 2-1

Defeat in Germany for Cuesta's boys, who paid for a first half not played up to the situation.

The reaction came in the second half, but Plicco's late goal didn't allow for a comeback.

Werder Bremen - Udinese 0-1/1-2

First mini friendly of the day for Udinese, who beat the Germans of Werder Bremen 1-0.

The decisive goal was by Simone Pafundi: a move that serves the young Italian talent, in the Serie B orbit and finally seeking decisive minutes to boost his career.

Udinese also wins the second match of the day against the Germans, this time with the starters for Runjaic. Davis scores, in great form, as does Palma: an excellent success for the Friulians.

Cologne - Atalanta 4-0

Incredible collapse for Atalanta, losing 4-0 to Cologne.

Here is the match report.

St. Pauli - Verona 1-0
