Juventus vs Genoa They suffered too much to advance to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia
Andrea Pirlo had to lay hold of Cristiano Ronaldo to beat Genoa (3-2) in the extension of the second round of the Coppa. The Portuguese, resting throughout the game, had to leave to participate in Rafia’s 3-2 game and help Juventus win the match by going to the quarterfinals.
lvaro Morata is back. After missing the first two games of 2021 due to muscular problems (including the triumph (1-3) at San Siro slowing Milan down) and playing just four minutes against Sassuolo, the Spanish striker started in the Coppa against Genoa and he scored a goal that increases his figures.
His target, a pass from Kulusevski, served so that the ‘bianconeri’, with Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, went 2-0. With this goal, Morata has 11 in 19 games between all tournaments. Four in Serie A, six in Champions and now one in Coppa are his mark to date. And he is close to the 16 he did with Atltico de Madrid in all of last season. And his best mark in Juve (15 in 2014-15) are within reach.
Morata was one of the protagonists of a match in which Kulusevski left. The Swedish striker did everything. Marc the 1-0, gave Morata the 2-0 and it was an ordeal for the Genoa defense. Czyborra, head first, put suspense to a tie that was always alive. Pjaca, with a shot to the crossbar, was close to the equalizer against his exes before Melegoni made it 2-2 with a goal. Buffon could do nothing.
Pirlo had to put Cristiano Ronaldo in in the 88th minute but the extension was inevitable. All in a match in which Paleari got out. The Genoa goalkeeper stops Morata, Bonucci … His gloves made the ‘Vecchia Signora’ desperate. Until Cristiano, Morata and Rafia made it 3-2. The Portuguese hypnotized the visiting defense with his juggling before finding the Spaniard, who gave it to the Tunisian so that, after several rebounds, he could score. A saving goal with which Juve achieved the pass in overtime. They go for the Coppa. Sassuolo or SPAL await them in the quarterfinals.
