Juventus defeated Milan at the San Siro and had the chance to become temporary leaders of Serie A against an opponent that seemed favourable, since Verona arrived in Turin after seven consecutive games without a win.
But this irregular Juventus, whose game is not entirely convincing, is on the verge of wasting this great opportunity. In the end, a great victory, in the last minute of stoppage time, thanks to a goal from Andrea Cambiaso This puts them in the lead with a point ahead of Inter. The ‘bianconeri’ had chances to win on the road but the goal was held until the last breath.
Moise Kean is undoubtedly the most outstanding player of Juventus until he was replaced. The Italian striker repeatedly looked for the goal and in fact scored twice but both were disallowed by VAR.
The first goal was disallowed for Kean
The first of them came in the 12th minute. Kean scored a great goal after receiving near the center circle, he scrammed, made. two cuts and his shot from the front goes close to the post, but VAR invalidates it for a millimeter offside at the beginning of the game Dusan Vlahovic, now the starter after being a substitute the previous day against Milan.
In the first half Kean touched the goal twice, but Lorenzo Montipò He hit his header for a corner (18′) and on the next play his cross shot, after a cross from Filip Kostic, narrowly missed.
After this excellent start, Verona escaped Juventus’ pressure and even in stoppage time in the first half they managed to go ahead with a point-blank volley from Federico Bonazzoli took Wojciech Szczesny.
Another disallowed goal for Kean
After the break, Juve returned to the fray with Kostic and, above all, Kean as the most prolific player. A cross from the first was headed home by the second and soon after Montipò got a shot from Adrien Rabiot.
Juve pressed for goal with pace and intensity and Kean scored again by finishing a cross from Weston McKennie with a header, but The referee disallowed it again as VAR determined that Kean had committed the foul himself with his arm in the middle of the field at the start of the play.
Although Massilliano Allegri surprised by the replacement of Kean and Kostic On the hour mark, Juve continued their siege against a Verona that defended itself as best it could.
Federico Chiesa, Kean’s replacement, had several chances, especially when he finished a McKennie back pass at point-blank range and defender Davide Faraoni stopped the goal that was already being sung in the stands.
I changed the sentence at the end
Finally, in the last minute of stoppage time, Juve found the reward for their persistence. Arkudiusz Milik headed the post and youngster Andrea Cambiaso pushed the ball into the net a meter from the goal. His first goal in Serie A as a ‘bianconero’ gave Juve a huge victory and the lead.
