1994: Batistuta equals Pascutti's record

In the 1994/95 season of Serie A Ranieri's Fiorentina defeats Napoli 5-2. The two final Tuscan goals were scored by Gabriel Omar Batistuta, in the minutes 84 and 90 on penalty, scoring that allowed the Argentine champion to equal the record of Ezio Pascutti in 1962/63, the only player in Serie A on a single round capable of scoring at least one goal in each of the first 10 days of the championship: 12 were the centers of the Bologna's champion, the same number of those of the Fiorentina's striker.
