Series C | Juventus Next Gen-Audace Cerignola, the match – Juventus

A bitter start to the competition for Juventus Next Gen who fell 3-4 at home against Audace Cerignola on the first day of Group C of Serie C.

Down 0-3 after less than half an hour, Paolo Montero’s side overcame the treble deficit by closing the gap with a fine goal from Palumbo at the end of the first half, but in the second half – which ‘ despite the extra man just after an hour. play – he goes down 1-4 and can’t definitively reopen the game until injury time, when it’s too late. Amaradio, on his first professional goal, and Stivanello gave the Bianconeri a final for experience and nightmare minutes for the Apulians who celebrated at the final whistle, however, for the three points they got.

A difficult start for the next generation, but PALUMBO reopens the challenge with magic

It is a complicated start to the game which sees the Bianconeri as the main characters. Already in the 2nd minute Audace Cerignola becomes dangerous with a dangerous free kick from Paolucci which is dragged for a corner with a careful defensive stop from Citi.

The hosts, however, continue to push and a few turns of the clock later, with Russo, they come in dangerously again to Daffara, but without to find the target.

This is the uniform rehearsal for the Apulians in the 12th minute they take the lead with Cuppone: the number 29 is the fastest of all in the penalty area and with a light touch he he anticipates the Juventus rear guard and turns the cross from the left into gold. , 0-1.

There is a response from Montero’s team and it comes a few minutes later with Da Graca who controls Puczka’s cross well in the penalty area, but his shot is blocked.

The game is still lively and at the moment Next Gen is the most proactive team who again came close to equality in the 20th minute with Puczka’s header, after the development of a corner taken by Palumbo.

It is the Audace Cerignola, however, who deserves to make the most of the chances created and then, in the 21st minute, Salvemini goes over Daffara, closing in the best way a good action that started with the pocket for Paolucci, who was then able to serve his teammate with his heel, throwing it towards the goal, 0-2.

With two goals, the game becomes complicated for Juventus and, of course, just before the half-hour mark, Audace Cerignola’s lead becomes three, again with Cuppone.

The score now reads 0-3 and it is at this moment that all the pride of the Bianconeri will appear. Da Graca tries in the 31st minute with a nice personal move, but his left foot goes just wide. Then the former Palermo player is the main man again in the 37th minute, but Puczka’s cross is expected in the best way. The Ath Gen’s effort, however, is not in vain and, in fact, two turns of the clock from the 45th minute Palumbo shortens the distance with an authentic pearl from outside the area that ends his run under the corner above, and thus gives. , more than hope for his players during the second half, 1-3. Before the double whistle there was also time for Anghelè’s left-footed shot to almost find the big target.

The next generation tries literally TO THE LAST SECOND, but it’s not enough!

The second half begins with two new additions to the Juventus ranks: Comenencia and Owusu come on to replace Mulazzi and Peeters. The pace is still high, as in the first half, and the first chances are for the Audace Cerignola: the Apulian team breaks again from the left and twice tries to find the poker with Salvemini . In the first case Daffara puts his fist in, in the second the number 9 does not make a happy impact with the ball, after an intelligent pass by Cuppone, and sends the ball out.

As the minutes went by, however, Next Gen began to take more and more of the field, finding a goal that would definitely open the game. Shortly after the hour mark, the Bianconeri did not find the goal 2-3, but numerical superiority: Da Graca escaped from Ligi’s celebration which, to avoid the escape of our number 20, took him down on the edge of the penalty area, healing. the But, the putting out. In terms of set piece developments, Mancini – who also took over during the game – is hitting the wall.

Juventus strongly believe in the return, but about a quarter of an hour from the end comes the episode that complicates the mission of Juventus: the guests appear near Daffara with Martinelli, at is a decision arbitrarily blocked by Scaglia, according to the director of the competition. Penalty, therefore, for the Audace Cerignola who made together with Giugliano, who came forward in the second half, without any mistakes and again the lead increased to three goals, 1-4.

The situation becomes complicated again for the next generation which pours with almost all its workers into the far half of the field, risking, however, surrender other goals and if the Apulians do not find them the credit goes to the goalkeeper of Juventus, author. of important interventions between including a brilliant save on Tascone’s long-term decision.

Despite a negative evening, the merit of the Bianconeri is that they did not give up until the end and, of course, in full recovery with Amaradio first and Stivanello then finding goals 2-4 and 3-4 respectively, but that was not enough because the triple whistle comes right after scores number 32.

In the end, in Biella, it is the Audace Cerignola who laughs.
