Friday, November 25 Udinese 2-0 Roma
(Di Natale 79’, Isla 89’)
The only goal of the match was scored in the first half, thanks to Pepe in a quick counterattack (see clip).
Thanks to the 1-0 win today, Juventus has 25 points and has returned to the top position of the rankings, after one day being occupied by Udinese.
After many consecutive disappointing seasons, Juventus is creating a strong impression that they are capable of conquering the scudetto.
At the Olimpico Stadium, where they have been unbeaten for the past eight years (winning nine, drawing four), Juventus started very confidently.
Former Lazio defender Lichsteiner stood out in the first half of the first half with two high plays to receive the ball from the middle and then flip it very smoothly into the penalty area.
Being engrossed in attacking, Juventus almost had to pay a heavy price for being lax at the back.
Speed and the ability to seize opportunities are two factors that help Juventus make a difference.
Within just a few dozen seconds, when Lazio had not yet had time to regret that failure, Juventus performed an almost identical quick counterattack and scored.
The loss forced Lazio to increase the pace of play for the rest of the match, but they did not often find opportunities to reach the opponent’s goal.
Juventus actively sought opportunities through counterattacks and they almost scored at least one more goal from such situations.
As Lazio’s brightest star, Klose (right) completely `turned off` when meeting Juventus.
The score of 1-0 in favor of the away team was preserved until the end of the hour and overall, Juventus had a perfect win.
Squad:
Lazio (4-3-1-2): Marchetti – Konko, Diakite, Stankevicius, Radu – Ledesma, Brocchi (Gonzalez 46), Lulic (Sculli 70) – Hernanes – Rocchi (Cisse 65), Klose
