The Bull raises his head and overwhelms the Citadel, the grenades score even four and find a success that was missing since last September 5th.
The first half is balanced and only a play by Radonjic's applause breaks the match, in the second half the hosts spread with goals from Pellegri, Schuurs and Zima.
Juric changes six compared to the derby, but remains an ultra-competitive Toro: Vlasic and Radonjical are confirmed in front of Pellegri, in the median Ricci is seen as a starter together with Lukic and with Singo and Vojvoda on the outside, in defense chance for Zima with Schuurs and Buongiorno.
Gorini, on the other hand, gives priority to the championship and presents himself with the second lines, focusing on the attacking trident formed by Embalo, Magrassi and Tounkara.
The first opportunity is of the Citadel, with Milinkovic-Savic flying to deflect Tounkara's insidious header, but on the overturning in front the Toro passes: Radonjic does everything, who focuses and detonates a right from the edge of the area impregnable for Maniero.
The guests showed up again in the 35th minute with Embalo, who did not find the goal for a matter of centimeters, and before the end of the first half Felicioli lost due to injury, replaced by Donnarumma.
The grenades, on the other hand, stop at the personal action of the Serb, without being able to create other concrete dangers.
Also in the second half it is the Cittadella who start better with a shot from the newly entered Lores Varela, then Donnarumma messes up and Pellegri takes advantage of it: the Venetian full-back is surprised by a cross from Vojvoda, the attacker jumps to Maniero and signs the 2- 0.
From that moment, the Citadel disappeared from the field and the grenade spread with the goals of the defenders.
They are Schuurs and Zima, in fact, the scorers of the third and fourth goals, so Juric can celebrate the passing of the round.
He will find Milan in the round of 16, but we will talk about it again in mid-January: now we have to get up again in the league too, with the grenades having just scored one point in the last five days.
