In the eighth matchday of the season, Inter defeated Fiorentina 2-1 at the Maradona thanks to a dramatic late comeback. The Viola took the lead through Jimenez in the 65th minute, but Inter equalized through Thuram in the 90th+1 and settled the match with a penalty from Zielinski in the 97th minute.

In Bergamo, Atalanta and Frosinone provided a goal feast, sharing the points in a 4-4 draw. The match was packed with action and swings, with both sides engaged in a constant exchange of chances and goals.

At the Marassi stadium, Genoa prevailed over Venezia 1-0. The Ligurian side managed to move up the table with a home victory, while their visitors went away empty-handed.

In other eighth-round clashes, Roma played at Napoli with a depleted attacking lineup, missing Malen and Soulé. The encounter between the Giallorossi and the Partenopei proved a tough assignment for the away side, which had to contend with squad injuries.

The matchday is completed by Lecce-Juventus at 18:00 and Udinese-Milan at 20:45, which bring the weekend's round of fixtures to a close.
