Domestic football returned to Italy this weekend, bringing a few surprises. With teams across the league strengthening in the Summer it looks to be a competitive year in Italy and one we should all keep an eye on.
By far the biggest surprise of the opening weekend came on Saturday, where recently promoted Hellas Verona shocked AC Milan and the football world by securing a 2-1 victory. Pirlo gave AC Milan the lead, with his side squandering many chances before he finally put one away. Luca Toni headed in an equaliser on the half hour mark before he got his second of the game, and the winner, in the 53rd minute.
In the only other game on Saturday, Sampdoria lost 1-0 at home to Juventus. New arrival Carlos Tevez scored the decisive goal in his Serie A debut to ensure the travelling supporters saw their side get their campaign off to the best possible start.
