There were only defeats during October. A slap in the face against Sassuolo, then a failure against Verona that set off all alarms possible in Turin. But in November, the Bianconeri turned back to winning ways. Tonight in Rome, they reached the third consecutive triumph in all competitions and somewhat washed away the harsh impression from the previous part of the season – 2-0.Finally, after a long time, we saw the good old Juventus. They defeated Lazio thanks to a penalty and unnecessary contact between Cataldi and Morata. But the team of Massimiliano Allegri finally played defensively as they did in the glory days. Maurizio Sarri’s team was cut short by an almost perfect defensive game, which was especially evident in the second half. Sarri tried with heavy artillery but it was worth nothing. For example, in the second half, Lazio was dangerous only in one situation, when Sergej Milinković Savić outjumped De Ligt, but Muriqi was short to reach the ball.It was one of those matches when you know and feel that you can’t score against Juventus even if you played for days. On the other hand, Juventus was ready to punish even the smallest mistake in such situations.We have already written that Cataldi was too aggressive and deconcentrated in the first half, while in the second half, the absolute tragedian was the goalkeeper of the Roman club, Pepe Reina. An incomprehensible mistake was made by an experienced keeper. Unnecessarily, Reina ran out in the 81st minute, allowed Chiesa to go around him and head towards the empty net. Reina only managed to tackle him earning Juve a penalty, which, as in the first half, was converted perfectly by Leandro Bonucci.Lazio struggled before that, and after the second goal – pretty much stopped participating in the match.SERIE A – Round 13SaturdayAtalanta – Spezia 5-2 (3-1)/Pasalic 18, 41, Zapata 38 pen, Muriel 83, Malinovsky 89 – Nzola 11, 90+1/Lazio – Juventus 0-2 (0-1)/Bonucci 23 pen, 83 pen/22.45: (3.35) Fiorentina (3.40) Milan (2.30)Sunday14.30: (1.70) Sassuolo (3.90) Cagliari (5.50)17.00: (1.63) Bologna (3.90) Venezia (6.25)17.00: (3.05) Salernitana (3.25) Sampdoria (2.55)20.00: (2.35) Inter (3.40) Napoli (3.25)22.45: (5.20) Genoa (3.80) Roma (1.75)Monday20.30: (1.85) Verona (3.70) Empoli (4.60)22.45: (2.10) Torino (3.40) Udinese (3.90)***odds are subject to change
