Ascoli 1-1 Modena
The spoils were shared at the end of a relatively balanced encounter. Bonvissuto should’ve opened the scoring after three minutes, but somehow nodded wide at the back post. The Modena defence had to reshuffle when losing Gozzi to injury and during this period of uncertainty Giorgi smashed a half-volley in from a poor clearance. The Canarini struggled to create chances, but still managed to equalise with Pasquato’s slightly deflected free kick. Cani was very unlucky to see his effort come off the inside of the post and back out into the grateful arms of Guarna.
Scorers: Giorgi 25 (A), Pasquato 41 (M)
Ascoli: Guarna, Giallombardo, Gazzola, Micolucci, Portin, Sommese (Esposito 76), Giorgi, Pederzoli, Di Donato (Moretti 66), Bonvissuto (Lupoli 63), Mendicino

Cittadella 2-1 Torino
Both teams lost their season openers, but Torino's campaign goes from bad to worse. They had taken the lead after 19 minutes with Iunco bundling a corner kick over the line, but by half-time the game had been turned around completely. First Nocentini rose to nod in Dalla Bona's corner kick, then the former Chelsea player scored himself with a fierce free kick four minutes later. Toro poured forward, but Stevanovic wasted a good chance and Garofalo's free kick was denied by the upright.
Scorers: Iunco 19 (T), Nocentini 37 (C), Dalla Bona 41 (C)
Cittadella: Pierobon, Nocentini, Marchesan, Scardina, Manucci, Job (Carteri 73), Magallanes, Bellazzini, Dalla Bona, Gabbiadini (Perna 66), Di Roberto (Volpe 91)

All the action seemed to be packed into the opening 10 minutes. Cacia took around 200 seconds to break the deadlock with his splendid left-foot volley from seven yards.

Sassuolo 1-1 Grosseto
Sassuolo had to fight back in order to grab a point from this battle of potential play-off contenders. Donazzan brought down Alessandro for a penalty on the stroke of half-time, which was converted by Caridi. Melucci required a goalline clearance to deny Minelli the equaliser, but it came soon after. Narciso rushed out to clear from Masucci, but could do nothing on Catellani’s follow-up. Sassuolo almost registered their second consecutive victory, but Narciso kept out Fusani on two occasions, while Allegretti’s free kick was parried by Pomini at the other end.

Siena 2-1 Reggina
Siena completed a comeback to secure the points and their first victory under Antonio Conte. It was a blistering start with Troianiello’s effort parried and then Bonazzoli pouncing on a howler from goalkeeper Coppola.

With 10 minutes to go, Larrondo nodded in a corner kick to set off the celebration.

Vicenza 4-1 Portogruaro
New boys Portogruaro were taught a lesson at the Stadio Menti. Within five minutes Baclet had smashed a left-foot strike under the bar, though Altinier piunced on Bastrini's error to equalise.
