Juventus secured a convincing 3-0 victory over newly-promoted Como in their Serie A opener, marking Thiago Motta's debut as coach. The win featured first-half goals from Samuel Mbangula and Timothy Weah, with Andrea Cambiaso sealing the match late in stoppage time. Despite the scoreline, Juventus could have extended their lead, as Dusan Vlahovic struck the woodwork twice and had a goal disallowed for offside. Motta's management style, favoring a more attractive brand of football, is already apparent, as he integrates new players while sidelining some of the previous coach's favorites. Como, backed by the tobacco giant Djarum, faces a tough test in their next matches to gauge their survival chances in the top flight. Atalanta also had a strong start, defeating Lecce 4-0 with new signings making impactful contributions.
