Never so bad with the championship with 20 teams: on four occasions it reached 13. Four 0-0s
5 goals were needed, but it was difficult to ask them from Cremonese and Udinese. Zini’s 1-1 draw therefore closes a seventh day which marks the sad record of goals scored since Serie A moved to 20 teams. We had never dropped below 13 goals, this time we stopped at 11 with four 0-0s. In spite of the excessive tacticalism, some super saves by the goalkeepers (from Provedel to the penalty saved by Suzuki to Cornet), the missed aim in front of goal and the bad luck (to conclude, two posts by Cremonese), not a good business card for a movement that has not qualified for the World Cup since 2014 and which is struggling to sell its product abroad.

The previous negative record had been recorded on four occasions. The last one dates back to the second round of the 2022/23 championship, which ended with the victory of Spalletti’s Napoli. Even then, four matches ended without goals. One more, however, in the 2017/18 Serie A. Going further back in time, there were two other seasons marked by days with this negative record: the ninth round of 2010/11 and the eleventh of 2004/05.
