The match report in 14 key moments

26′ – JUVENTUS GOAL WITH VLAHOVIC FROM PENALTY! Miretti ends up on the ground in the area, after having come between the ball and Nicolussi Caviglia, at the usual suggestion of Di Maria. From eleven metres, the Serbian striker crosses his left foot: the ball hits the inside post and goes into the bag. Ochoa intuits and pushes a lot when diving, but he just can’t get there: 0-1 and Dusan Vlahovic’s return to goal 115 days after the last time, in Turin-Juventus 0-1 on 15 October last!

31′ – GREAT CROSS FROM CANDREVA’S THREE-QUARTER! Courageous high exit, with fists, by Szczesny on compatriot Piatek.

34′ – VLAHOVIC FROM LONG DISTANCE WITH A LEFT-HANDED! On a great ball, yet another, by Di Maria, Vlahovic tries from long range with Ochoa off the posts: the ball is just high and Juventus is close to doubling the lead.

37′ – VLAHOVIC PUT ITSELF ON THE LEFT AND PENETRATE THROUGH THE CENTRAL STREETS! The crossed left foot, with a low ball, goes off just wide: but what a Vlahovic, so far!

43′ – MIRETTI PAINFUL ON THE GROUND AFTER A FORTUNE CONFLICT WITH LASSANA COULIBALY! The number 20 asks for the substitution, with a sore ankle: in his place, inside Fagioli.

45′ – JUVENTUS GOAL WITH KOSTIC! Early paw on Ochoa on a slipper in the Vlahovic area! It all started with Di Maria’s usual cross into the area with the ball headed away (badly) by Bronn: 0-2!

45’+5 – DI MARIA DENTRO FOR LOCATELLI, WHO TESTS THE LOB! Ochoa comes out and opposes the former Sassuolo!

47′ – JUVENTUS GOAL WITH VLAHOVIC! Unwatchable horizontal ball by Nicolussi Caviglia, interception by Fagioli who, from a midfielder, sends the Serbian attacker to shoot: left foot crossed first to Ochoa outgoing and 0-3!

51′ – GREAT OPPORTUNITY IN SALERNO! Sambia violently crosses his right foot: Szczesny holes the ball and Dia, from close range, is unable to score: Allegri gets furious at the opportunity given by Juventus.

53′ – SPECTACULAR CONCLUSION AND CROSSING BY DI MARIA! Suggestion from Vlahovic and left foot opened by the limit of Fideo on the highest wood: the two find each other wonderfully tonight!

61′ – CLAIMS IN THE FLIGHT BY BONAZZOLI DEL LIMITE! Szczesny beat the ball just wide!

70′ – RIGHT TO BRONN’S LONG DISTANCE LIGHTNING COTTON! Ball just wide of the Tunisian defender of Salernitana.

75′ – VLAHOVIC, OVERFILLED, SENDS CHURCH TO SHOT! Very little high conclusion: Juve close to poker!

85′ – KEAN’S POLE! On Chiesa’s sprint and through ball, a very powerful right foot from the new entrant, which hits the uppercut in full, to beat Ochoa!

The social moment

At the start of the game, Salernitana and Juventus remembered Andrea Fortunato, a former Juventus full-back originally from Salerno who died in 1995 due to leukemia.

MVP

Vlahovic. Juventus finds its center forward. He immediately approaches the match well, then converts the penalty with a power shot on the inside post. The Serbian plays with confidence and even luck rewards him with a random assist for the 2-0 from Kostic. In the opening second half he closes the game with a surgical diagonal. Dominant.

Fantasy football

PROMOTED – Di Maria. Head and shoulders above the others. He does what he wants with the ball at his feet, he continuously illuminates the black and white action with plays of pure class. Stopped by the crossbar in the second half.

REJECTED – Nicolussi Caviglia. We are not. He loses the confrontation in the midfield against Miretti in the first half, very naive in the foul that leads to the penalty of the disadvantage. Disastrous at the start of the second half when he gives the ball to Fagioli which makes it 3-0.
