EMPOLI (ITALPRESS) – Juventus made the Sunday postponement theirs by meritingly beating Empoli at the Castellani 2-0. The match was decided by a goal by captain Danilo in the first half and a paw on the counterattack by Chiesa in the final. Thanks to this victory, Juventus rises to third place with 7 points to their credit. Empoli, on the other hand, remains the only team in the championship still at zero after three matchdays. The guests take control of the game and try to attack, but without creating major problems for Berisha in the first phase of the meeting. At the first good opportunity, however, Allegri’s men took the lead. It was the 24th minute when Kostic took a corner from the left and a scrum formed in the area, with Danilo who was the fastest of all to slip in the goalkeeper with a close right footed shot. At half an hour, Chiesa frees McKennie in the area who goes to a safe shot with his right plate but Pezzella intervenes with the body and saves him. In the 37th minute Gatti ventures into the opposing area and Maleh jumps and trips him. The referee awards the penalty. Vlahovic shows up from the penalty spot, but gets hypnotized by Berisha who stops the Serbian’s shot in two stages. It will be the last chance of the first half, which ends on 1-0. The first chance for the second half came in the 13th minute, when Chiesa was released in the area and flew towards the goal but his right-footed shot went off by a whisker to beat Berisha. In the 21st minute it was the newcomer Pogba who doubled the lead, but the referee disallowed Vlahovic for offside at the time of the assist. The bianconeri dominate and in the 37th minute they double their lead. The Tuscans are all unbalanced forward and Milik finds in depth Chiesa who starts from his half of the field, appears in front of Berisha, jumps him and slips him into an empty net for the final 2-0. In full stoppage time there is still room for a crossbar hit by Milik himself and a post hit by Kean, but the result will never change.
