Scudetto holders Napoli will have been disappointed with their failure to beat Como at home in the Serie A on Saturday, but things could've been even worse as the visitors were awarded a penalty in the 26th minute. Up stepped Alvaro Morata to take it, but so did Vanja Milinkovic-Savic to save it.
Starting with the hosts, while Atalanta might have got a new era underway over the summer following Ivan Juric's arrival in Bergamo, La Dea have enjoyed a bright start to life under the former Southampton boss. Putting a maiden Champions League victory on the board in midweek as they clinched a 2-1 win at home against Club Brugge, last season's bronze medalists have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first seven appearances across all competitions.
Real Betis midfielder Sergi Altimira admitted that things that shouldn't happen occurred in the friendly against Como. The incident was sparked by heavy challenges on midfielders Giovani Lo Celso and Isco, leading to punches being traded between Pablo Fornals and Como's Maxi Perrone.
