Amaro 2-2 of Juve in Udine. Reverse Bologna in the final

Share

22 August 2021 Max Allegri's first Juve begins without Ronaldo (the Portuguese initially asked to stay out) and Chiesa (not physically at his best) and with a 2-2 at the 'Dacia Arena' against Udinese full of regrets.

Great start of the bianconeri, who hit cold (3 '): Cuadrado inspires, Bentancur finishes in the area for Dybala who anticipates everyone and bags. Two attempts by Pussetto - central shot blocked by Szczesny and a head shot not far from the mirror - precede the doubling of the Lady (23 '): splendid opening by Dybala for Cuadrado who finds a prairie in front of him (Friulian defense very badly positioned), Nuytinck is drunk and hits the mark with a precise right cross.

At the beginning of the second half, Udinese halved the liabilities. Szczesny does not hold back a conclusion from Arslan, the German with Turkish citizenship gets back on the ball in advance of the goalkeeper, who knocks him out: it is a penalty, the former Pereyra relentless from the spot (51 '). Juve's angry response: Alex Sandro crosses and Morata's air detachment, but the post denies the Spaniard the trio (54 '). At 60 'in CR7 that shortly after Bentancur serves the ball of the possible 1-3: thrust from the edge of the Uruguayan and second wood of the guests, decidedly unlucky. The game seems to have said everything, but at 83 'an incredible duck by Szczesny (wrong control and error in support, a bad night for the Pole) gives Deulofeu (not offside, the Var confirms that everything is ok) a 2 -2 unexpected. It seems over, but there is still a (mega) thrill:in the 95th minute, Ronaldo heads the match goal, but the Var signals a millimeter offside by the Portuguese and Juve have to settle for just one bitter point.  

Bologna redeems the burning elimination in the Italian Cup with Ternana: at the 'Dall'Ara', the newly promoted Salernitana bent 3-2, naive in the final match.

An opportunity each in the first half, not unforgettable. Skorupski rejects Bonazzoli's free-kick deflected into the barrier by Soriano (20 '), Campani in ten from 34' for the expulsion of Strandberg who remedies two yellow cards in a minute (withholding and hand ball), a first chance for the Bolognese with Dominguez's header (just off) on a nice cross from Arnautovic (37 ').

More music in the second half, full of emotions. Guests ahead at 51 'on a penalty by Bonazzoli, granted after a handful of Soriano (expelled) to Djuric signaled by the Var. Numeric parity re-established, but Bologna re-emerges immediately: De Silvestri's winning headlong on Sansone's corner. Belec tries the intervention, but the ball has already crossed the line. Arnautovic could hurt in the 61st minute, nine laps of hands and Salernitana comes back (70 '): to frame Mamadou Coulibaly's first goal in Serie A, who scores with sumptuous left-handed in turn. But the question is far from closed, given that in the last quarter of an hour the rossoblùs dramatically overturn the result: Arnautovic signs the 2-2 in the 74th minute with a left in the low corner, De Silvestri hits the mark in the 77th minute. head again (brace for the defender) and again on the corner,beaten this time by Orsolini. Mihajlovic's team closes in nine, albeit a winner: second yellow card and red also for Schouten (88 ').
