0-2: A gray but very effective Juventus is already seventh

This Juventus is far from being excited about, their game is very gray but the maximum efficiency gave them a third straight win in the league against a deliberate Spezia (0-2) and they are already seventh in Serie A despite a penalty of 15 points for falsifying their accounts. However, their situation remains dramatic as they are still ten points behind the European positions marked by Lazio, sixth.

Massimiliano Allegri, now without Federico Chiesa due to muscle fatigue, is clear that Juventus must survive by being strong in defense and will not hesitate to withdraw his team even if his rival is a Spezia who now chained to his fifth match day without a win, he is one. place far from the relegation zone and now has an interim coach, Fabrizio Lorieri, after Luca Gotti was dismissed on Wednesday.

Change of goalkeeper and Kean opened the scoring

Juve rarely come close to the local area. In the first approach Dusan Vlahovic scored but started offside, but in the second Moise Kean opened the scoring by tapping in a single miss from a Filip Kostic cross (31′). The Italian striker beat goalkeeper Federico Marchetti, who soon replaced starter Bartlomiej Dragowski when he was forced to retire due to injury (24′),

In the 0-1 draw, Juve did not improve, they continued to offer very little and as the minutes went by they were completely at the mercy of an underpowered Spezia, although before the break they managed match two consecutive headers from Eldor Shomurodov.

Di Maria enters and sentences

But when the ‘bianconeri’ suffered more, Ángel Di María, who jumped on the field for a moment, received it outside the area, they allowed him to fix the ball and he released a low and crossed left shot that went over . the post (65′).

The goal was a relief for Juve, Spezia paid for the effort but still forced Mattia Perin to make three fine saves that kept him out of the game. Juve, yes, managed to complete their 15th league game with a clean sheet, after 23 days of play. That and his immense attacking prowess are good enough for him now, but he will need a bit more football if he is to reach the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday after this week’s 1-1 loss at Nantes in the first leg in Turin.
