Juan Guillermo Cuadrado gave Juventus the victory against Fiorentina in the final minutes

A great goal in the 91st minute from Colombian Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, who had jumped onto the field ten from the end, this Saturday avoided a new setback for Juventus and gave them a momentous 1-0 victory against Fiorentina, to return the three points to Massimiliano Allegri’s team after three days without winning in Serie A.

After the brilliant 4-2 endorsed on Tuesday at Zenit Saint Petersburg, which earned the pass to the second round of the Champions League two days beforehand, Juventus once again got stuck at the level of the game in Serie A, in which barely had added fifteen points in eleven days, chaining two defeats and a draw in the last three games.

Massimiliano Allegri’s team, which lost Giorgio Chiellini in the warm-up due to a physical problem and was unable to count on Leonardo Bonucci, touched, or the Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, needed a spectacular move from Cuadrado in the 91st minute to knock down a brave Fiorentina, who competed with organization and who only capitulated when he played with ten men for the red to the Serbian Nikola Milenkovic (75 ′).

Cuadrado, a former Fiorentina player, beat goalkeeper Marco Terracciano, who had been saved shortly before by the crossbar after a powerful shot from Federico Chiesa, with a low right hand that collapsed the wall viola.

Until then, Argentine defender Lucas Martínez Quarta had supported Fiorentina with an outstanding performance.

Juventus, with this victory, caught up with Fiorentina and placed eighth, with a delay of the leaders that is still important: they are thirteen points behind Milan and Naples, who play this Sunday against Inter and Verona, respectively. (D)
