Claudio Ranieri, who lost to Napoli on the road and led a thrilling comeback to tie 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, made the Giallorossi's home debut. Nicolò Pisilli was suspended and Mario Hermoso was injured, therefore Paulo Dybala was able to rejoin the starting lineup in a 3-5-2 configuration. Despite the absence of Davide Zappacosta, Ben Godfrey, and Gianluca Scamacca, La Dea defeated Young Boys 6-1 on Tuesday, winning seven straight Serie A games. 

In the fourth minute, Marco Carnesecchi's palms were stung by a long-range scorcher from Leandro Paredes. The custodian was left helpless as Manu Koné's attempt went just inches short of the top corner. After twenty-three minutes, Ademola Lookman had the ball in the net, but he was offside when he hit the back post with a stray Raoul Bellanova shot.
