The statistical anomaly was repeated for the fourth occasion in the three-point era: the last time it happened in 2014
A Serie A round that will go down in history, not so much for the spectacle on the pitch but for the unusual hospitality of the home teams, capable of not winning a single match. In fact, out of ten matches played, the guests dictated the law with six victories, leaving the hosts just four draws. It is only the fourth time that such an ‘anti-home’ scenario has occurred since our championship has 20 teams: the previous ones date back to the 11th matchday of 2007-2008, the 36th round of 2012-2013 and the 12th matchday of 2014-2015. Lorenzo Colombo’s goal thus rightfully enters the annals of Italian football, the goal that officially consigned this day to the statistical archives.
