Juventus Turin did not cover itself with fame in its first game without superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. On the second match day, the “old lady” had to admit defeat 0: 1 to the newly promoted FC Empoli at the Allianz Stadium at home.
Leonardo Mancuso provided the decisive Juve shock in the 21st minute. The center forward benefits from a deflected shot by his teammate Nedim Bajrami, Mancuso then stays ice cold in front of keeper Wojciech Szczesny. The return opportunity to equalize by Paulo Dybala thwarted Empoli goalie Guglielmo Vicario worth seeing (23).
Then the Allegri-Elf shows meager football food, Empoli defends the toothless offensive efforts without major problems. Only a conclusion to Juve’s new acquisition and EURO shooting star Manuel Locatelli creates a hint of danger, but rolls past the far post (71st).
With a meager point on the account, Juventus started Sunday in 13th position, Empoli climbed to eleventh place with the first three on the account.
The second game on Saturday evening Fiorentina can win 2-1 over FC Turin. Nicholas Gonzalez (41st) and Dusan Vlahovic (70th) get “La Viola” the first three points in the competition. Simone Verdi (89th) only contributes to the cosmetic result.
