Italian Cup sprung some surprises for the Serie A teams!


Finally the Soccer season is getting in full force and the Italian Cup is already giving us some surprising results regarding the Italian Serie A teams! Incredibly disappointing the Benevento that lost 0-4 against Perugia! We must say that Benevento had in their hands most of the match in the first half even if they got down by one before the end of the first 45 minutes. They wasted lots of chances but they also lost one of their most important men , Cataldi, that got sent off by the referee on the 0-1. From there WE guess the Benevento just didn't find the strength to react in 10 men on the pitch especially because the Perugia was flying on the enthusiasm of a big advantage and indeed they just killed the match scoring three goals in the second half! 0-4 and some people are now wondering how many real chances the Benevento got to keep playing in the Serie A next season ? Big lack in the defending zone and the keeper Belec was also very awful. Absolutely stunning the performance made by Cerri , ex-Pescara and also pushed by Zeman in a small spell in Serie A the past season. Hat trick for him in the match and goal by Emmanuello. Also Bologna lost 0-3 against Cittadella even in this match there was an important red card but this one after only 5 minutes! Verdi was sent off and from there the Cittadella got a lot of confidence and pushed against a poor Bologna's defensive line scoring three goals all of them from the center zone and also a very bad off-side trap played by the Donadoni's defenders. Scorers were Kouame, Pasa and Litteri.
The Torino absolutely murdered the poor Trapani for 7-1 thanks to a great teamwork and a very convincing performance by the Mihajlovic's team. Double Belotti, Berenguer, Obi, Iago Falque and De Silvestri scored for the Granata while Fazio did the only one goal for his team and one own goal for his opponents. Not much to add about it but very well done by Torino.
Sassuolo did a solid match against the strong Spezia gaining a nice 2-0 victory thanks to Missiroli and the great Berardi looking to bounce back to the top Italian Serie A players.
Very beautiful match between Udinese and Frosinone finished 3-2 for the Friulani as always very strong in the offensive zone and slightly weaker in the defensive one. Jankto, Lasagna and Thereau brought Del Neri to the next round, not enough the fantastic goal made by Gori and a header by Crivello.
Budimir came back to Crotone this season and also scored the first goal in the 2-1 victory against Piacenza. Nice match played by the Calabrese team that could have scored in many more occasions. Bini gave the illusion of a draw but Ceccherini killed the match at 83'. 
Only 1-0 for Spal against Renate but that was enough to go to the next round. Goal scored by Vicari. The team showed a lack of strength in the left side of the pitch especially the wing back.
Very lucky Chievo Verona winning for 2-1 scoring the last goal at 90+5' thanks to Cacciatore! Inglese gave the lead to his team but he was reached by Favilli in the second half. Probably the result didn't show how things should have gone but well this is the Soccer world!
Cagliari and Palermo finished in a 1-1 draw but the Sardinia's team won the Penalty shootout lottery for 4-2. Goals scored by Joao Pedro and La Gumina during the 90 minuted. Balanced match and probably deserved victory for Cagliari.
Sampdoria beat the freshly Serie B promoted Foggia for a confident 3-0 goals scored by Barreto, Caprari and Kownacki (supposed to be the new talent to watch in front of the Sampdoria team).
