The starting lineups

Let Christian be Chivu that Igor Tudor choose the three-man defense to face this match. The Parma confirms the eleven seen against Fiorentina and deploys Suzuki between the posts, supported by Vogliacco, Leoni and Valenti who make up the rearguard. Delprato and Valeri run along the flank, Bernabé, Keita and Sohm work in the middle of midfield. Pellegrino joins Bonny up front. Juventus opts for Di Gregorio in goal, with Kelly, Veiga and Kalulu behind. McKennie and Cambiaso are the two full-backs of the four-man midfield, completed by Locatelli and Thuram. Nico Gonzalez and Kolo Muani are positioned close to the lone striker Vlahovic.

First half

La Juventus It starts at a hundred miles an hour and, after not even sixty seconds, Locatelli from distance goes very close to the post to the right of Suzuki. The Parma is forced to make a double substitution already in the tenth minute, due to some physical problems suffered by Vogliacco and Bernabé. However, from that moment on, the dukes begin to maintain more possession of the ball and try to put pressure on the Juventus rearguard. In the 18th minute the Old Lady comes out of his own half of the field and a gallop of Rabbit on the right he provides a good low assist in favour of Vlahovic, who with his heel misses the target at the near post. Another heel, that of Bonny, makes you tremble By Gregorio in the 28th minute: yet another corner kick in favor of the home team rewards the French striker, who fails to accurately deflect a ball that appears at the last second. A minute later, Pellegrino tries his luck from outside, but the save on the ground is easy for the visiting goalkeeper. The team of Tudor raises the pace a bit and creates a couple of potential opportunities, poorly exploited by the attackers. During the first minute of injury time, however, it is the Parma to unlock the result. Valeri from the left he paints a sensational parabola directed towards the second post, where Pilgrim stands out higher than everyone else and towers over Kelly: his header is uncatchable for Di Gregorio, who has to collect the ball from the net for 1-0. The team goes to the locker rooms for half-time with the home team ahead in the score.

Second half

The start of the recovery is a bit slow, with the Parma which solidly defends the advantage and the Juve who tries to find some openings to hurt. However, the Crusaders' team creates an offensive chance, spreading panic thanks to a central percussion by sohm, who concludes too weakly with the tip. The black and whites try to raise the engine revs and at 65' kolo muani concludes a persistent action, with a simple shot from the edge of the area for Suzuki. About ten minutes later, Conceicao shoots from sixteen meters following a corner, but it goes too high over the crossbar. Chivu's boys dig in their defense and grit their teeth against the last assaults, at a not too high pace, of their rivals from Turin. The last Juventus speeches are signed by conception, which however fails to penetrate the home defense.
