by Claudio Presutti 22 June 2020After the disappointments of the Italian Cup, Juve's ready redemption arrives and returns to the championship by winning 2-0 at the home of Bologna. Bianconeri for +4 on Lazio, which plays in Bergamo with Atalanta, and +9 on Inter which hosts Sassuolo.

Mihajlovic's Bologna is back at the Dall'Ara, behind closed doors, with Orsolini and Barrow, preferred in Palacio. Rossoblù with 4-3-3: Skorupski; Tomiyasu, Danilo, Denswil, Dijks; Svanberg, Medel, Soriano; Orsolini, Barrow, Samson. Sarri, who has to deal with the waste of the final, especially mental, of the Italian Cup, still ranks Pjanic and, surprisingly, Bernardeschi. Szczesny returns to the goal. Juventus with 4-3-3: Szczesny; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Bonucci, De Sciglio; Bentancur, Pjanic, Rabiot; Bernardeschi, Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The bianconeri start immediately strong and at the 7 'are dangerous with a good action by Ronaldo concluded by a strong right that Skorupski rejects as he can and Denswil anticipates Bernardeschi ready to reiterate on the net. However, Juve's advantage comes a little later. Retained in the area at 20 'of Denswil in de Ligt, Rocchi, even for the subsequent contrast between Dijks and Rabiot, does not notice, but, recalled by the Var, concedes the penalty. Cristiano Ronaldo goes from the spot which, this time, is not wrong: central conclusion, Skorupski immobile, is 0-1 (23 '). The bianconeri, much more experienced (they are already in the third game played), control Bologna and double in the 36th minute: Bernardeschi serves Dybala in the heel, the Argentine controls, makes a few meters and lets off a big left-footed shot turn the rossoblù goalkeeper. The first fraction ends on 0-2.

In the second half we start with the same 22 of the beginning and with Juve owner of the field. A sensational chance for CR7 which, well set by Bernardeschi, comes face to face with Skorupski but puts to the side (52 '). Immediately afterwards Bernardeschi himself does everything by himself and from the top left he severely engages Skorupski who touches just enough to send on the pole (53 '). Bianconeri still on the hunt for three of a kind with a left cross by Dybala that is lost slightly to the side (55 '). Mihajlovic runs for cover: outside Svanberg and inside a peak, Palacio (57 '). And Bologna in fact seems to wake up and manages not only to ease the pressure of Juve, but also to make itself dangerous on two or three occasions with Barrow, Orsolini and Palacio himself. De Sciglio is hurt, Sarri is forced to change, inside Danilo (66 ').

Other changes in Juve, Pjanic and Rabiot come out, inside Ramsey and Matuidi (71 '). Ronaldo is seen on the 73 'right from the limit that is lost on the bottom. Mihajlovic in the 75th minute inserts Dominguez in place of Soriano, while it is Douglas Costa's turn for Dybala (79 ') among the Bianconeri. Blaze of a disappointing Orsolini who, however, does not find the door in the 80 '. Triple change in the Mihajlovic ending who tries everything for everything: inside Poli, Cangiano and Juwara, two boys from 2001, Medel, Sansone and Orsolini (82 ') come out. In full recovery, Danilo was sent off for a second yellow card (92 '). It ends 0-2.
