Juve narrowly avoids upset against Salernitana after humiliating round of 16 victory – match recap and analysis

Three days after humiliating this same team in the round of 16 of the Cup (6-1), Juve did not repeat its demonstration in the rain in Salerno.

She even came close to her second defeat of the season, against an opponent reduced to ten men from the 53rd minute.

Deprived of Federico Chiesa, replaced by the prodigy Kenan Yıldız (18 years old), the Bianconeri, like Thursday in the Coppa Italia, conceded the opener, Giulio Maggiore giving the advantage to the Salernitana on his only opportunity of the first period (39th).

But his exclusion for a second warning at the start of the second period allowed Juve to equalize through Samuel Iling (65th). Massimiliano Allegri’s players had to wait for added time and a header from Dusan Vlahovic (90+1) to take the advantage.

Thanks to this laborious success, they remain two points behind Inter Milan, winner of Verona on Saturday by the same score.

Salernitana, coached by former Juve player Filippo Inzaghi, remains last with 12 points, three lengths from 17th place, synonymous with maintaining.
