The seventh round of the 2025–26 Serie A season delivered everything Italian football promises — tactical chess, surprise results, and title-race twists. Inter stayed sharp at the top, Napoli stumbled again, and newcomers Como pulled off the upset of the weekend against Juventus. Let’s dive into the stories that shaped Matchday 7.
Torino 1–0 Napoli: Simeone Strikes Against His Former Club
At the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, Giovanni Simeone became the unlikely hero against his former side. The Argentine forward’s precise header in the second half sealed a 1–0 win for Torino, handing Napoli their second defeat of the season.
Napoli dominated possession (64%) and fired 17 shots, but their attack lacked edge without the injured Victor Osimhen. Torino, compact and disciplined under Ivan Jurić, capitalized on their one clear chance — and defended it with grit until the final whistle.
“We suffered together and earned it,” said Simeone post-match. “It means a lot to score against Napoli, but even more for this team.”
The result dents Napoli’s early momentum and highlights defensive vulnerabilities. For Torino, it’s a confidence-boosting win that lifts them to mid-table respectability — and proves that on their day, they can trouble anyone.

AS Roma 0–1 Inter Milan: Bonny’s Early Goal Keeps Inter On Top
Inter Milan continued their steady march with a gritty 1–0 away win at the Stadio Olimpico. French forward Ange-Yoan Bonny scored in the sixth minute — his first Serie A goal for the club — and that was all Simone Inzaghi’s men needed to leave the capital with three points.
Roma pushed hard in the second half, with Paulo Dybala hitting the post and Lukaku forcing Yann Sommer into a fingertip save. But Inter’s defense, marshaled by Francesco Acerbi, stood firm to record a fifth clean sheet of the campaign.
“It wasn’t beautiful, but it was mature,” Inzaghi told DAZN. “Winning tight games like this defines champions.”
Inter now sit joint-top with 19 points, while Roma’s inconsistency continues — three wins, three losses, and growing frustration among fans who expected more from Daniele De Rossi’s first full season in charge.

Como 2–0 Juventus: A Historic Upset at the Lake
Newly promoted Como delivered the shock of Matchday 7, defeating Juventus 2–0 in front of a roaring home crowd at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Goals from Nico Paz and Alberto Cerri sealed a famous win — Como’s first ever Serie A victory over the Bianconeri.
Juventus looked off the pace from the start. Their midfield struggled to cope with Como’s energy, while Federico Chiesa missed two golden chances in the second half. For coach Massimiliano Allegri, the defeat adds pressure after a shaky run of performances.
“They wanted it more, simple as that,” admitted Allegri in his post-match conference. “We must respond quickly.”
For Como, it’s a statement. Their compact pressing and confidence in possession suggest they won’t be easy relegation candidates this season. Meanwhile, Juventus’ title ambitions look increasingly uncertain.
