The absolutely pragmatic football of Massimiliano Allegri once again gave a maximum performance in Juventus, beating Monza in stoppage time (1-2) with outstanding Adrien Rabiot and remain top of Serie A with a point ahead of Inter, who face a tricky visit to Naples on Sunday.
The game soon became the face of Juventus. And in the 10th minute, Dusan Vlahovic missed a penalty. Filip Kostic saw the race diagonally from the right of Andrea Cambiaso and he hit a long ball that surprised him Giorgos Kyriakopouloswith nothing to do but grab him to prevent the Italian winger from escaping.
Vlahovic, who last matchday ended a six-match streak without scoring against Inter (1-1), saw how Goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio saved the penalty and his own second shot at point blank range with two great saves.
But at the next corner, Cambiaso took, Adrien Rabiot scored by connecting with a powerful header. Not appealable. A goal, his second in Serie A, that confirms the rest of the season the French midfielder is having.
Juve are tied with Monza
Taking an early lead on the scoreboard was the ideal scenario for Juve to build their game and have a very solid defense to prevent Monza from reacting. The midfielder Andrea Colpani, one of the revelations of Serie A with his 6 goals, He had no space to show his quality and hardly had any clear chances midway through the second half.
On the other hand, Juve made it 0-2 with another corner. Alex Sandro headed at the near post and into the middle Federico Gatti, a meter from the goal, finished high in all favors (33′).
He never had any chance a conservative Juve content to reduce the room for maneuver of a Monza that, despite trying to develop his praised offensive football with the help of the coach Raffaele Palladino, He did not direct any shots between the three sticks.
Minutes passed like this. Vlahovic, missing after missing a penalty and a very subdued Federico Chiesa Compared to their usual trend, they were replaced and Juve fell far behind, giving up going for a 0-2 lead.
Discount madness
The people of Turin played with fire, very speculative, and in injury time the Argentine Valentín Carboni, on loan at Inter, equalized by placing a cross that Dany Mota failed to finish and he was poisoned reaching directly into the net.
Monza, who last season won both games on their debut in Serie A, look like they will fail Juve again but in the next game Rabiot ran the baseline well and his delayed pass was converted into a goal Gatti in a double finish. Allegri’s practical football brought to its highest expression won Serie A.
