Even on the first Sunday of August, there were several surprises from the friendlies.  

Union Berlin-Cagliari 2-2

A good test for Pisacane’s Cagliari, who for a few hours put the Esposito case to one side. The Sardinians, led in attack by youngsters Trepy and Mendy, had gone two goals ahead.

The Germans then grew into the game and in the 85th and 91st minutes they caught up with the Sardinians, making it 2-2.

Feyenoord-Atalanta 2-1

At De Kuip, Maurizio Sarri’s Atalanta were beaten in a clash with a European feel. La Dea, who fielded their strongest lineup with Samardzic confirmed in midfield and Raspadori out wide in attack, lost 2-1.

Ueda’s opener in the 11th minute was answered by the usual ever-reliable Krstovic, always on hand in front of goal. The winner for 2-1 was scored by van Persie, son of a famous footballing family. 

Burnley-Torino 0-1

An excellent test for Ignazio Abate’s Torino against Burnley, relegated to the Championship but much further along in their physical preparation than the Granata.

The match ended 1-0, with the decisive goal scored by Ali Dembélé, a versatile defender who spent the previous six months on loan at Mantova in Serie B, where he performed well.

Trabzonspor-Udinese 1-0

Runjaic’s Udinese were beaten after trying out a new formation: 4-3-3. There were positive signs for the Friuli side despite the result.

Lovric was back in midfield after his loan spell at Verona: the Slovenian started, so keep an eye on the possibility of him staying. 

Parma-Iraklis 1-1

Cuesta’s Parma faced Walter Mazzarri’s Iraklis in a friendly as the Greek side continue their friendlies on Italian soil. For the Ducali, it was a test with very few highlights in the first half and many more in the second thanks to the substitutions and fresher legs.

Youngster Mikolajewski scored for Parma. 

Ascoli-Lazio (8:45pm)
