Juventus does not shine but beats Spezia 2-0. Napoli does not go beyond 1-1 with Lecce

Juventus-Spezia 2-0, Spezia strong but Juve just need one goal per time

Juventus need only one goal per time, from Vlahovic still on a free-kick in the first and from Milik who has just entered the second, to get the better of a strong Spezia 2-0.

At the Stadium Allegri's team finds success after having drawn the last two league games against Sampdoria and Rome and reaches 8 points by joining Milan and Naples.

The Spezia, despite the good performance, remains at 4 points. 

For the home match Massimiliano Allegri makes Gatti debut in defense from the first minute and relies on the trident made up of Cuadrado, Vlahovic and Kean.

Miretti confirmed in midfield with Locatelli and Rabiot.

Di Maria returns to the bench.

While Luca Gotti relies on Gyasi and Nzola forwards and composes the three-man defensive line by inserting Nikolaou, Kiwior and Hristov.        

Juventus got off to a good start and unlocked the partial thanks to Dusan Vlahovic's free-kick goal in the 9th minute.

Another pearl on the free kick of the Juventus number 9 after the one signed against Roma.

The Spezia, however, does not break up, fight in midfield and at 17 'also finds a draw with Gyasi who overtakes Szczesny with a lob and goes to the net, but the goal is canceled due to the offside position of the Spezia striker.

Allegri's team tries to close the game and in the 27th minute Rabiot finds Vlahovic, who gets rid of the marking from a tight angle and puts in a tight ball swept for a corner by Kiwior.

In the end of the first half Spezia is still dangerous: Bourabia's heel, Holm doses a nice ball in the middle where Nzola is lurking but Bremer sweeps.        

At the beginning of the second half Allegri changes the outside and inserts Kostic and Di Maria for Cuadrado and Kean.

At 66 'still bianconeri close to doubling with a header from Vlahovic but Dragowski saves the result with a great reflex.

Juve manages the ball by limiting the offensives of La Spezia who cannot find any gaps, while the bianconeri are close to scoring in the 82nd minute with a counterattack launched by Di Maria, Danilo sends the shot high from a good position.

The doubling arrives in the 92nd minute thanks to the newly entered Milik who receives the ball in the area, turns and strikes Dragowski for the final 2-0.

Naples - Lecce

Napoli-Lecce 1-1, tignosi Salento, for Napoli the hoped-for engagement at the top fades

A Eurogol of Colombo extinguishes the dreams of glory of a Napoli, which in front of its audience does not go beyond the 1-1 against a good Lecce.

For Spalletti's band the momentary advantage of Elmas is not enough, after a penalty failed by Colombo himself, and therefore the connection to the summit fades.

Napoli rises to 8;

second point in the league for Lecce.

After a start without great emotions, the Neapolitans showed up in the 21 'with Politano who engages Falcone with a nice left that is however raised for a corner by the goalkeeper.

A minute later Ndombelé commits an ingenuity in the area, with Di Francesco anticipating him by suffering a kick from the former Tottenham player.

The referee awards the penalty.

From 11 meters, Columbus appears, who is however hypnotized by Meret, who senses and parries to the left of him. 

After the scare, the hosts wake up and unlock the challenge two minutes later.

Osimhen serves Politano, who peels a right-footed shot that turns into a perfect assist from Elmas who puts Falcone on 1-0.

It could be the blow of the knockout for the Salento, but they redeem themselves immediately on 31 'finding the 1-1.

Colombo leaves behind the error from the spot, takes the ball from 25 meters and from a standstill he invents a powerful left-handed who ends his run under the intersection of the distant goalposts.

He goes to the interval at 1-1. 

The first chance of recovery is for Elmas who tries stunt with the right but Falcone is careful and deflects for a corner.

At 24 'it is Osimhen who touches the 2-1 with a close header that comes out slightly, after a brushed cross by Politano from the right.

The ex Inter winger gets on his own two minutes later when he focuses on the left-handed and kicks around, touching the post to Falcone's right. 

The extreme defender also takes the chair in the 35th minute, when he pushes away a close shot from the newly entered Kvaratskhelia.

The last chance comes in the recovery, with a gored by Osimhen, who ends up over the crossbar.

Only Lecce smiles;

bitterness in the Naples home.
