Matchday 3 | Frosinone Stun Venezia

About this episode

Matchday 3 of the 2026-27 season brings coaching chaos in Florence and another statement win for one of Serie A's newly-promoted sides. Fiorentina sack Raffaele Grosso after just three matches as Torino come from behind to win in Florence, and it gets worse: four players Fiorentina let go this summer all contribute goals for their new clubs this same weekend. Our match of the week is Frosinone's 3-2 win over Venezia in a fiery "condiment cup" clash, with Antonio Raimondo now up to four goals in three games. Elsewhere, Genoa fall to 0-3 with a heavy loss at Como, Parma and Monza share the points 1-1 behind goals from teenagers Simone Lantani and Jay Robinson, Cagliari edge past Lecce 1-0 on a Daniel Maldini header, Lazio come from behind to beat Udinese 2-1 through Davide Frattesi and Albert Gudmundson, and Bologna and Sassuolo trade blows in a 2-2 draw. Serie B brings its own chaos: Mantova and Cesena share a wild 1-1 draw between two of the league's hottest strikers, Hellas Verona romp to a 5-0 win over ten-man Arezzo, Cremonese finally get on the board with a win over Padova and fire their coach hours later, and Palermo stay perfect with a 4-1 win over Sampdoria. From Florence's coaching chaos to Cremonese's ruthless front office, this episode captures the wild swings that define the Italian bottom half three matchdays into the season.
