Juventus vs Verona: Thrilling 1-0 Victory Propels Juventus to the Top Spot in Serie A

JUVENTUS-VERONA 1-0 THE NEWS

Mission accomplished, Juventus will experience a night as leaders. But there are thrills to beat Verona, first for the two goals disallowed by the VAR against Kean and then for Cambiaso’s strike which arrived only at the last minute. The Bianconeri took the lead in the 97th minute, the celebrations exploded at the Stadium and now it was Inter and Milan who had to respond on Sunday in Serie A.

Vlahovic starts, Chiesa starts from the bench: Allegri doesn’t surprise and relaunches the Serbian from the first minute, while keeping the blue as a weapon during the match in progress. The ballot to make up the attacking tandem is won by Kean, for the rest it is the announced formation with Kostic winning the challenge with Cambiaso and Iling-Junior as left winger. McKennie is still the midfielder, leaving the lane to Weah, Locatelli is the director and the midfield is completed by captain Rabiot, while in defense the Gatti-Bremer-Rugani trio is confirmed in front of Szczesny.

Baroni, however, renounces Ngonge and places Duda in the attacking midfield to support the Bonazzoli-Djuric pair. In midfield there are Hongla and Folorunsho with Faraoni and Doig on the side, while Magnani, Dawidowicz and Terracciano play in front of Montipò. Juve knows well that if they win they will take the lead, so they immediately start strong with Vlahovic’s first shot on goal which arrives already in the 8th minute. And in the 13th minute there is the advantage: Kean does everything alone and frees himself with a shot, the Serbian’s deflection allows the ball to go where Montipò is unable to go. The goal, however, was disallowed due to a millimeter offside by the blue playerso we go back to 0-0.

Verona does not sit idly by and tries to come forward, Weah deflects Doig’s cross but after the VAR consultation the details for the penalty are not revealed. The Bianconeri attack and Kean again challenges Montipò, the Gialloblù restart and Szczesny shows good reflexes on Bonazzoli’s shot just at the end of the first half.

Allegri leaves Weah in the locker room to begin the second half with Miretti, Baroni confirms his starting eleven. At Kostic’s first cross, Dawidowicz forgets to mark Kean but the attacker wastes his header, missing the target. In the 52nd minute, however, he puts it in, but the referee Feliciani goes to review the action on the monitor and cancels for a slap on Faraoni.

At the hour mark, Allegri removes Kean (who immediately returns to the locker room) and Kostic for Cambiso and Chiesa, the former Viola player immediately forces Montipò to raise his right-foot shot into the corner and then finds Faraoni almost on the goal line. It’s the moment of greatest pressure for the Bianconeri, Baroni looks for fresh forces by inserting Tchatchoua, Suslov and Doig. Juve begins to fade away, with ten minutes to go Allegri launches Milik but doesn’t risk the three strikers and gives up Vlahovic. Chiesa protests for a contact in the area with Folorunsho not judged punishable by the referee, the last move is Yildiz in place of Rugani.

It seems over, in the 97th minute the Juventus crowd at the Stadium explodes: Milik hits the post and the ball bounces on the line, Cambiaso arrives to smash the goal and drag Juve ahead of everyone. Verona comes out with their heads held high, it’s a big celebration at the Stadium.
