After last night’s thriller in Milan, where Inter struggled but somehow managed to win against Verona in injury time, a similar game happened tonight and the main actors were Salernitana and Juventus. The home team was leading but the guests used the last 30 minutes to completely turn the game over and take all three points, thanks to a last-minute goal by a potential Arsenal target Dušan Vlahović. Giulio Maggiore was the hero for about fifteen minutes. It was he who gave the home team the advantage at the end of the first half, only to earn a second yellow card in the 53rd and leave his teammates in the lurch. Juventus did not shine, far from it; in difficult playing conditions, after a heavy downpour, it was difficult for black and white to create opportunities. They didn’t hit the target until the 64th minute, but they were very lucky to equalize just a few moments later.🇮🇹 Goal: Giulio Maggiore | Salernitana 1-0 Juventuspic.twitter.com/eAvugc3Nqv— FootColic ⚽️ (@FootColic) January 7, 2024 The statistics show that Dušan Vlahović has an assist in addition to the goal, but it was really a lucky combination of circumstances for the visitors. After Timothy Wea’s cross from the side, Vlahovic missed the ball, it went through his legs – admittedly it touched him – and somehow reached the second post where the young Englishman Samuel Ealing Junior was. There was no one around him, he had time to adjust, then shoot hard and – it was 1:1. In those moments, the numerically superior Juve had already taken control, had possession of more than 70 percent, and it was only a matter of time before the settlement would come. Admittedly, at 1:1, Simy had an excellent chance to give Salernitana the advantage again, but the Nigerian did not do well on a cross from today’s super motivated veteran Antonio Candreva, and was only three or four meters away from the goal.🇮🇹 Goal: Giulio Maggiore | Salernitana 1-0 Juventuspic.twitter.com/eAvugc3Nqv— FootColic ⚽️ (@FootColic) January 7, 2024 🇮🇹 Goal: Samuel Iling Junior | Salernitana 1-1 Juventuspic.twitter.com/hxvTmT5IJj— FootColic ⚽️ (@FootColic) January 7, 2024 Dušan Vlahović tried hard, but little came of it. At the beginning of the second half, he asked for a penalty after a duel with Slovak Gyomber, who held him quite well. Referee Guida did not receive a call from the VAR room, although there were elements for the harshest penalty. Gyomber managed to outwit Vlahović on several more occasions, but not in the 91st minute. Danilo sent a wonderful cross, the strong Serbian attacker positioned himself well, jerked his head hard and shot indefensible – 1:2. It was Vlahović’s seventh goal of the season and his 30th overall in the Juventus jersey.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 19FridayBologna – Genoa 1-1 (0-1)/De Silvestri 90+5 – Gudmindsson 20/SaturdayInter – Verona 2-1 (1-0)/Lautaro 13, Frattesi 90+3 – Henry 74/Frosinone – Monza 2-3 (0-2)/Harroui 56, Saule 76 – Motta 18, Carboni 45, Soule (og) 55/Lecce – Cagliari 1-1 (1-0)/Gendrey 35 – Oristanio 68/Sassuolo – Fiorentina (1-0)/Pinamonti 9/SundayEmpoli – Milan 0-3 (0-2)/Loftus Cheek 11, Giroud (p)31, Traore 88/Udinese – Lazio 1-2 (0-1)/Walace 59 – Pellegrini 12, Vecino 76/Torino -Napoli 3-0(1-0)/Sanabria 43, Vlasic 52, Buongiorno 66/Salernitana – Juventus 1-2 (1-0)/Maggiore 39 – Junior 65, Vlahovic 90+1/22:45: (2.50) Roma (3.35) Atalanta (3.05)***odds are subject to change***
