Verona – Hellas Verona-Arezzo ended 5-0 on Matchday 3 of the 2026/27 Serie BKT.
Turning to the match report, after just 60 seconds Harroui tried to catch Nunziante out directly from a corner, but the Arezzo defence managed to clear the danger.
In the 12th minute, Le Borgne surged forward down the right before finding Livramento, who delivered a cross into the box, but neither Mulattieri nor Sarr could get on the end of it.
A minute later, Zappa sent the ball into the box for Mulattieri, who could only muster a weak header from a difficult position.
Arezzo threatened in the 23rd minute, with Sala firing over from mid-range.
In the 32nd minute, Mulattieri led a Verona counter-attack before laying the ball off to Livramento, who picked out Harroui from the right. The No. 21 fired over.
Five minutes later, Livramento raced into the box one-on-one with the goalkeeper, rounded him but was unable to get his shot away as the defence closed him down.
In the 40th minute, Mulattieri was played through towards goal and brought down from behind by Illanes, who was the last defender. Zufferli had no hesitation in showing the red card, leaving Arezzo with 10 men.
After four minutes of added time, the first half ended goalless.
Verona took the lead in the 50th minute. Suslov switched play to the left, Bradaric delivered into the box and picked out the run of Zappa, who rose highest above the visiting defender and headed home to put the Gialloblù in front.
In the 55th minute, Bradaric burst down the left and sent a powerful ball across the face of goal, which Nunziante parried away. Livramento collected the rebound and tried his luck from the edge of the box, but Nunziante produced an excellent save to deny Verona a second.
The second goal arrived just two minutes later. Bradaric delivered from the left, Mulattieri got in front of everyone and headed home to make it 2-0 to Hellas.
The visitors looked to respond through Righetti, who crossed for Cerri, but the forward's header went well wide of Leali’s goal.
In the 67th minute, the Suslov-Bradaric combination was at it again, with the Croatian delivering a low cross for Mulattieri in the heart of the box. The Gialloblù striker tried to turn but was denied by the visiting defence.
Hellas continued to push forward. Le Borgne found Suslov with a backheel, the No. 10 produced a turn before crossing with his left foot for Iannoni, whose effort went narrowly wide after an excellent run into the box.
Arezzo threatened again in the 73rd minute, with Sala looking for Cerri in the middle. The Amaranto striker's header lacked power and was comfortably gathered by Leali.
In the 75th minute, Iannoni moved into the box from the right and sent a low cross towards the far post. Cerbone, who had just come on, arrived to tap home from close range and make it 3-0 to Verona.
The fourth followed shortly afterwards, with Cerbone again at the centre of the action. The Gialloblù No. 35 embarked on a run through the Arezzo penalty area, skipped past two opponents and fired under the crossbar beyond Nunziante.
In the 85th minute, Suslov entered the box from the right and laid the ball back for Iannoni. The midfielder arrived at pace and beat Nunziante to make it 5-0 to Verona.
After two minutes of added time, the match ended 5-0.
Verona’s next fixture will be on Friday 11 September at 9PM, when the Gialloblù face Benevento at the Stadio 'Vigorito' on Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 Serie BKT.
