The Juventus of Thiago Motta He still hasn’t made the jump to Serie A. Diminished by a long casualty list. They are now tied on aggregate with mediocre Lecce (1-1) and six points clear of leaders Naples, who beat Torino (0-1).
Juventus still knows defeat after 14 rounds played but has more draws (8) than victories (6) and did not take advantage of Lazio’s setback at Parma (3-1) to knock it out of fifth place. It was the third consecutive draw for the ‘bianconeri’, all of them away from home, after a 0-0 against Milan and another 0-0 against Aston Villa in the Champions League.
I support Bove
The match was marked by a great fear made by Edoardo Bove, Fiorentina player who collapsed today in the first minutes of the match against Inter and is recovering in a hospital in Florence.
“Forza Edoardo. Stiamo tutti con te”, was the message of support for the Italian midfielder that appeared on the stadium video scoreboard Via del mare of Lecce when the players jump on the grass.
Conceiçao, in the post
The first half brought a game with few chances where Kenan Yildiz He is the most active player. Right from the boot the Turkish left-footed winger is Juventus’ first obvious option. His cross came in from the left Khéphren Thurambut, unmarked and with the goal all to himself, he finished badly with his thigh and the ball went wide of the post (6′).
In a quarter of an hour, Francisco Conceicao He led a counterattack, broke into the middle and, finding no support, unleashed a curling shot from the edge of the area. It fell on the pole.
The first part doesn’t offer much. Juventus controlled possession but once again showed their problems in front of goal.
Lecce appear but Cambiaso scores
After the break the game changed. Lecce, who had never come close to the visiting area until then, took just four minutes to get their first shot on goal. is Nikola Krstovicwith a header after a corner failed to surprise a certain Mattia Perin.
The Italian goalkeeper, who Thiago Motta substitute for Michele DiGregorio under the sticks, he also blocked two consecutive shots from the Cádiz native Tete Morente and Krstovic.
but it is Andrea Cambiaso scored after stoppage time, despite the fact that his cross shot from the edge of the area was tripped. Kialonda Gaspar and completely deflected the trajectory, completely displacing the goalkeeper. Vladimir Falcone.
Rebic ties to added
But a conformist Juve allowed Lecce to insist, believe until the end and in the added the tireless Krstovic He placed a perfectly low ball at the far post, where Ante Rebic (former Milan) He just needs to push the ball.
No doubt a golden tie for Lecce, 16th in the table and now two points clear of relegation.
