Vlahovic does not score, but Kean rescues Juventus

It was not Dusan Vlahovic, the starting substitute, who rescued Juventus on Monday, but Moise Kean, who with two minutes to go scored the ‘vecchia Signora’ winning goal at Sassuolo (1-2). Juventus is just one point behind Napoli, third.

In the match that closed day 34 of Serie A, Giacomo Raspadori advanced to Sassuolo after a great play by Domenico Berardi, the protagonist of a great heel touch in the play with which he enabled his teammate.

While Vlahovic started the game on the bench, it was Paulo Dybala who leveled the score for Massimiliano Allegri’s team, 4th in the table, with a great goal (he has scored 9 goals in the Italian championship) and was placed thanks to this victory just one point behind 3rd, Napoli, who lost at Empoli on Sunday (3-2). Dybala was replaced in the 55th minute by Vlahovic.

Said defeat by Napoli practically left the ‘scudetto’ in a fight between two, Milan (leader with 74 points) and the defending champion, Inter (72). They are followed by Naples (67), Juventus (66) and Rome (58).

Melee with Kyriakopoulos, the ball was recovered by Álvaro Morata, who was looking for Zakaria and in the end the ball for Dybala, who scored with a great shot. Juventus claimed a prior foul on Raspadori’s goal and Sassuolo, on Dybala’s.

Against a Sassuolo who put in a good game (and ended up suffering their second straight loss in Serie A), everything seemed headed for a draw when Kean came to Juventus’s rescue to score the winning goal.

After a long pass from Leonardo Bonucci, Alex Sandro headed the ball to Kean on the edge of the box. The Italian international turned a diagonal shot that was a goal, with the collaboration of the Consigli goalkeeper’s error.
