    Juventus loses opening match 1-0 at Home



    Udinese have stunned Juventus by winning 1-0 in Turin as the Italian champions' bid for a record-equalling fifth successive league title started with their first loss in 48 Serie A home matches.

    Juventus dominated, but were unable to finish any of their many chances and Udinese made the host team pay when Cyril Thereau scored 12 minutes from time with one of his side's few opportunities.

    The Bianconeri's last league defeat at the Juventus Stadium was on January 6, 2013, against Sampdoria.

    It was Stefano Colantuono's first match in charge of Udinese - although his 200th as coach in the top flight.

    In the evening matches, Fiorentina eased past 10-man AC Milan 2-0, while Sassuolo beat Napoli for the first time in Serie A, coming from behind to win 2-1.

    Inter Milan snatched a 1-0 win over 10-man Atalanta when on-loan Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic curled a stunning strike into the top right corner in the third minute of stoppage time.

    Newly-promoted Carpi missed a penalty in their first ever match in Serie A as they lost 5-2 at Sampdoria, which had David Ivan sent off late on.

    Frosinone was also playing in the top flight for the first time and lost 2-1 at home to Torino, despite taking the lead in the seventh minute through Danilo Soddimo.

    Elsewhere, Chievo Verona won 3-1 at Empoli and Palermo beat Genoa 1-0 with a stoppage-time strike from Abdelhamid El Kaoutari.
