🎥 Scamacca returns, Roma rising, Juve defence shaky 🤔 Today’s friendlies

A Saturday full of friendlies, with several big Italian teams involved. Juventus showing something to be corrected in defense, Atalanta finds Scamacca again, and Bologna enjoys 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’s stop due to injury, equalized the score, while the 2003-born Bernasconi completed the comeback at 90′ with a great shot from the edge.

Juventus – Reggiana 2-2

A draw with some alarm bells for Juventus, who against Reggiana did not go beyond 2-2. The bianconeri had gone under (goal by Girma) then overturned the result with Conceiçao first and then with Vlahovic (the Serbian will also hit a crossbar).

With a synergy between the departments still to be refined and some defensive lightness too much, however, Juventus was not able to defend the result, being 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 purchase Wesley, at his first from 1′, in a match where the winger showed himself 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 on a free kick, then Soulé scored the double in the second half, sealing a performance in which the Giallorossi showed 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.

It 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 dizzying 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.

Osimhen’s despair for the many mistakes of his new team under the goal.

Twente – Udinese 0-1

Narrow victory for Udinese against Twente. The match was marked by the absence of Martin Payero, still out for a physical problem among the 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 and goal-rich match, in which the new signing Ciro Immobile emerged as the great protagonist, scoring a brace like a pure striker.

If Immobile’s goals bring Bologna to 2-0, the Greeks manage to put the match back in balance thanks to a rapid 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.

Cagliari – Saint-Etienne 1-0

Narrow victory of Cagliari over the French of Saint-Étienne at the Unipol Arena in the 2025 edition of the Gigi Riva Trophy, with guests of honor Gennaro Gattuso and Gianluigi Buffon, CT and head of delegation of the Italian National Team.

The match was unlocked by Adopo, who from outside the area placed a shot directly at the corner, crowning a good performance for Pisacane’s team.
