TORINO
One point was enough, but it was necessary to win for many reasons. And Juve finds qualification and success: the 4-2 against Zenit allows the bianconeri to snatch the pass for the second round two days early, Dybala reaches 106 goals and detaches Platini in the club’s top scorers. Chiesa and Morata then round off the final result. Semak, on the other hand, complains about a couple of decisions by referee Hernandez, who first concedes the penalty for a contact between Claudinho and Chiesa and then has Dybala repeat the wrong penalty.
The bianconeri start with a different attitude, the one that characterized the path in the Champions League and in the 9th minute Dybala hit the post. La Joya then finds the net that unlocks the match on the bank of De Ligt. The advantage is not enough for Allegri’s boys and they immediately seek the double, Morata kicks a penalty in motion. The Russians catch the surprise equalizer: Karavaev’s cross finds Bonucci’s awkward and unfortunate deviation, the ball rears up and slips behind Szczesny. At the beginning of the second half, Hernandez becomes the protagonist: first for the penalty granted for the Claudinho-Chiesa contact, then because he repeats the penalty kicked aside by Dybala with Barrios entering the area before the allowed time. The Argentine chooses the same shooting angle but this time he makes no mistake. Zenit returns to attack, to maintain the advantage two interventions by Szczesny on Claudinho and Malcom are needed, then Chiesa invents the 3-1 and Azmoun, who signs the final 4-1.
