Pro Recco took a flying start into the new championship. The hosts built an 8:0 lead before Lazio scored its first goal. Francesco Di Fulvio and Aaron Younger topped the scorers’ list with five goals each.

Brescia hosted newcomer Catania. The first period belonged to the reigning champion (3:1). Catania’s Kacar found the net in the 9th minute for 2:3. However, Brescia answered with a 6:0 series and earned a big 9:2 lead before the middle break.

Savona, the third-placed team in the previous season, needed some time to break Roma’s resistance. Savona had a slim lead after the first period (2:1). Roma took control in the second period. In the 15th minute, the hosts went in front (5:4). But, it turned out that it was Roma’s last goal in the match. Savona produced a 6:0 rush for a 10:5 victory.

Both teams had ups and downs in an encounter between Iren and Trieste. Host Iren started better and built a 4:1 lead. But, Trieste scored three unanswered goals in the second quarter and equalized (4:4). The third period was balanced (2:2). Both defenses worked well in the first five and a half minutes of the fourth period. Then, Trieste scored two goals in just 28 seconds for 8:6. Immediately after, Iren responded (7:8), but there were no goals in the last minute and a half, so Trieste opened the season with an away win.

One goal separated the rivals after the end of the game Salerno-Posillipo, played in Salerno. Posillipo entered the fourth period leading 8:6. The hosts scored three goals in the first three minutes of the fourth period and went ahead (9:8). Posillipo equalized twice after that (9:9, 10:10). Still, Salerno took all three points. The hosts forced a penalty just five seconds from time. Elez made no mistake from the 5m line and gave Salerno an 11:10 victory.
