Fiorentina suffered a crushing defeat in the opening round. The Lilies faced Roma against the backdrop of a personnel overhaul. Fabio Grosso took charge of the team not in the best shape, made some encouraging signings, but it will take time to unlock its potential. Fiorentina have a very young squad, which could work against them. The Giallorossi needed 27 minutes to beat De Gea. Malen's shot was the logical culmination of the Wolves' dominance. The rout continued by Gasperini's charges in the second half. Malen, in the end, scored a hat-trick, and the final score on the board was set by Pizzilli. Fiorentina were unlucky to come up against such an opponent. In the cup match, Grosso's charges crushed Benevento 4-1. Frosinone returned to Serie A after a defeat. In the first round match the Ciociari faced Juventus. Almost from the starting whistle the Canaries sat back at their own goal. The Turin side dominated and attacked, and to score a goal Palmizani needed only 22 minutes. Massimiliano Alvini's charges only created a few dangerous moments late in the first half. The Old Lady's domination continued after the break. The Bianconeri had at least two dangerous moments to increase the lead. But credit to Alvini's men, in added time they tested Vicario's goal frame. The cup match for the Ciociari went more favorably. Frosinone easily beat Juve Stabia in the Coppa Italia. At Benito Stirpe, the hosts defeated the Serie B side 4-1. The last time the rivals met was at the start of 2024. At the Artemio Franchi, the hosts secured a comfortable 5-1 victory. The opponents are somewhat distant from those realities, but the balance of power has hardly changed. After the summer transfer upheaval the Canaries remain in a rebuilding phase. The club made some pretty good signings, but the team still needs to gel. The Canaries concede far too many goals at their own end. At the same time, Alvini's men can also bite back. The Lilies are eager to redeem themselves after the defeat to Roma. However, the match against the Giallorossi showed that the Florentines have a lot of vulnerable spots. Everything suggests the clubs will exchange goals.
