re: 24 Sept. Match Thread

AS Roma 2 - 1 Parma

Another win for AS Roma thanks to a Miralem Pjanic free kick at 89'

Roma's first goal was a Totti lofted pass that Ljajic finished neatly.

Man of the match was probably Naingollan like in every other match so far (though Cholevas was a marked improvement at LB and Manolas was solid.



Not as dominant as previous matches but Roma is missing a huge list of players due to injury and Parma away is a tough fixture.



Napoli 3 - 3 Palermo


Napoli draw newly promoted Palermo 3-3 at home.

Napoli only has one win in their first four Serie A matches. In what looked to be the easiest opening slate of any contender Napoli's only 3 points came on a very fortunate extra time goal in the first match day.

Rafa Benitez desperately needs a win this weekend.

Naples is boiling over and that Rafa's hand picked players have been the primary culprits in their flops against Athletic Bilbao and then Serie A relegation zone clubs isn't helping.
