Berardi reaches 132 Serie A goals and draws level with Altobelli

Domenico Berardi’s equaliser at Frosinone brought him to 132 Serie A goals, level with Alessandro Altobelli on the league’s all-time scoring list. The Sassuolo captain is now joint 41st, with Roberto Pruzzo’s 133 the next mark above him.

Berardi scored the temporary 1-1 in the seventh-round opener away to Frosinone. The goal was his first in two league appearances this season, according to the canonical report, and lifted his career total to a landmark that places him alongside one of Italian football’s notable former forwards.

Altobelli scored 132 times in Serie A and played for both Inter and Juventus. Berardi’s achievement is a different kind of milestone: the Sassuolo captain has matched that total and moved onto the same line in the all-time standings. Calciomercato.com’s ranking lists the pair together in 41st place.

The next target is close. Pruzzo, ranked 40th, has 133 Serie A goals, so one more would take Berardi level with him and move him up another place. That gives the 132nd goal an immediate context: it is not only a career landmark, but also one step from another position gained on the list.

The scale of the standings is clear at the top. Silvio Piola leads with 274 goals, more than twice Berardi’s current total. Berardi is not near the record, but his place alongside Altobelli and within one goal of Pruzzo gives his latest strike a precise historical measure.

For Sassuolo, Berardi’s goal at Frosinone also supplied a temporary equaliser in the match. For the player, the wider story is his position among Serie A’s all-time scorers. Pruzzo’s 133 is the next figure in reach.
