Goals by Kulusevski and Chiesa for the bianconeri, by MAlinovskyi the goal of the momentary 1-1. REGGIO EMILIA (ITALPRESS) – Juventus wins the 14th Italian Cup in its history. The HCL team saves the season with a 2-1 victory over Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta which sees the title vanish for the second time in three years. At the Mapei Stadium, with 4300 spectators, Andrea Pirlo raises his second trophy of the season and becomes the fourth Juventus coach to raise the Italian Cup both as a player and as a coach. The goals of Kulusevski (31 ‘) and Chiesa (73’) decide in a game that in the two halves saw the Bergamo players start on the right foot. The first chance after just 2 ‘of play: Zapata breaks through on the left and slips away to de Ligt, unloads for Palomino who kicks on Buffon from two steps. Many opportunities, high rhythms and even a slow motion episode at 13 ‘: Rabiot charges Pessina behind him in the area but for Massa it is not a penalty. The storm for Juventus lasts 20 ‘, then it is the Bianconeri who appear in Gollini’s parts with courage and pragmatism. And at 32 ‘at the first chance built there is the 1-0: the signature is of the former Kulusevski who starts a counterattack by Cristiano Ronaldo and from the top of the area he leaves an impregnable left-handed after a touch by McKennie . But at 41 ‘there is a draw: Atalanta recovers the ball with de Roon in midfield, develops on the right with Hateboer and returns to the center for Malinovskyi who unloads a powerful and precise shot that is worth 1-1. In the second half the script does not change: high rhythms and Atalanta immediately dangerous in the 51st minute with a free kick from Malinovskyi who parades into the area before de Ligt’s rescue. Immediately after Juve dangerous: Cristiano Ronaldo in the free-heeled area Chiesa that face to face with Gollini hits the post. But at 73 ‘Chiesa no longer makes a mistake: the former viola focuses, exchanges with Kulusevski and signs the new advantage that is worth the trophy. Juventus saves the season and closes with two titles, after the Italian Super Cup. Buffon says goodbye with a goal: equaled Mancini for the number of victories in the Italian Cup (6) as a player.
