Juventus managed to beat Fiorentina in the game of the 12th round of the Italian championship.
“Old lady” celebrated in Turin with the result 1: 0, but, hand on heart, we did not watch any football spectacle.
In the first half, Fiorentina was slightly better, but the result did not change. Saponara shooted from 17-18 meters away in the 34th minute, but the ball ended up over the crossbar. Five minutes later, Dusan Vlahovic shot with his head after a cross, but his attempt ended up next to the left post.
Alvaro Morata missed the best chance of the match in the 50th minute, and Federico Chiesa in the 77th minute. Also, Morata’s goal was annulled in the 82nd minute due to an offside position.
Nikola Milenkovic did not finish the match for “viola”. Milenkovic received the first yellow card in the 66th minute, and only seven minutes later he earned the second, so he had to travel to the locker room earlier than planned.
However, the guests did not manage to defend themselves with a player less until the end of the match. In the 91st minute, Juan Cuadrado, after a great solo breakthrough, defeated the goalkeeper of “Viola” and thus brought the fifth victory to Juventus this season.
With this victory, the “Old Lady” equaled Fiorentina in the number of points on the table.
In the next round of Serie A, Juventus will visit Lazio, while Fiorentina will meet Milan.
