Leader vs. Champion. Juventus inflicted first championship loss to Milan



[ad_1]

Milan went up to the central match of round 16 at the top of the standings and without defeat. And the victory in the confrontation with the Rossoneri was of vital importance for the positions of Andrea Pirlo, because those of Turina were ten points behind the first place. Thus, in the current tournament, Juventus is by no means the Scudetto’s main contender.

Immediately after the opening whistle, the guests began trying to establish control of the ball, and already in minute 2 they created the first threat to goal. Dybala did not notice an excellent opportunity, from the goalkeeper’s line, not being able to launch a strong blow from the air. The Rossoneri did not hesitate to respond. Juve’s defenders presented the ball to Bentankur in his own penalty area, after which Shchesny reacted.

Having dominated the field and looking closely at the rivals, the ‘black and white’ dramatically increased the pace and made the Milan club’s players focus on defensive actions. Federico Chiesa gave the Rossoneri many problems. First, he hit the post from the center of the penalty area, then took advantage of Dybala’s jeweler’s heel transfer and opened the scoring with an accurate shot into the far corner.

In the future, the opponents carried out mutual attacks, trying not to hold the ball in the center of the field. In Milan, Leau was twice in a position of shock. In the first episode, the Portuguese lacked precision a bit, and then Schesny rescued his team. In the first half, he could have scored a double for Chiesa, who cleverly hit Donnarumma from outside the penalty area. And before the break, the hosts equalized the result. Leau made a run down the left wing and with a cross pass put the ball under the impact of Calabria, who sent a soccer projectile to “nine”.

The second half of the match began with a dangerous blow from Dalot and another save from Schesna. The “Blanco y Negro” was gradually seizing the territorial advantage, and the second goal of “Milan” was built by Dybala and Chiesa themselves. Paulo returned to help his teammate, and Federico shot from the penalty line straight into the corner.

The point of the match was put by the players who appeared on the field from the bench. Kulusevski burst into the penalty area and passed the ball to McKenny, who did not miss from the goalkeeper’s line. After that, the question about the winner of the showdown was practically eliminated.

Milan lost, but remains at the top of the Serie A standings. Juventus showed high class and significantly improved their position.
