Everything in the second half: the hosts lead by two goals with Bremer and Rugani, Dossena first closes the gap and then hits a post
Cagliari takes the applause, but Juventus wins 2-1 despite the final assault from the rossoblù.
Ranieri relaunches Petagna at the center of the attack and gives confidence to the rossoblù of the moment, Viola, who takes to the field from the first minute and even with the captain's armband. Cagliari spreads out on the pitch with a 4-2-3-1, where the wingers are entrusted to Jankto on the right and Luvumbo on the other side.
Juve came under pressure, but Cagliari held firm and tried to respond, first with Zappa (11', high) and then with Viola (12', wide). In the 24th minute Dossena heads the ball just over from a corner. Scuffet, on the other side, only has to intervene on the way out to anticipate (33') Kean launched by Chiesa. Thrill in the 43rd minute, with an incursion by McKennie who, however, puts in plenty of goals. The first half ends without shots on target and without goals.
In the second half, Lapadula replaces Petagna, but Juve raises the pace and begins a siege led by Chiesa, who first challenges Scuffet (1') and then shoots just over (4'). In the 9th minute Scuffet is still ready for Kostic's attack. Cagliari suffers and in the 15th minute the Bianconeri pass: Kostic's free kick from the left, Bremer jumps alone into the area and heads past Scuffet. Ranieri tries to shake up the team, introducing Oristanio for Viola, but in the 25th minute the 2-0 arrives: corner from the right, the ball comes out in front of the goal where the former Rugani pushes it in.
It's Shomurodov's turn for Luvumbo and the Uzbek wins a corner: he beats Jankto and Dossena heads in to make it 2-1. The goal gives courage to Cagliari, who come close to equalizing in the 38th minute: another header from Dossena and Szczesny saves himself with the help of the post. Final assault, Pavoletti also enters for Jankto, but Juve manages the advantage until the end. Cagliari comes out defeated, but with their heads held high.
