Juventus’ goals against Spezia
Even playing away from home, Juventus started the game on top and opened the scoring in the 17th minute, with Vlahovic. However, the goal was disallowed for offside by the Serbian striker.
The situation did not affect the visitors, who continued with greater volume on the field and, finally, opened the scoring. At 32, Kostic received it on the left end and crossed into the area. There, striker Moise Kean arrived at first hitting and scored the 1-0.
On the way back from the break, Spezia changed their posture and managed to endanger Mattia Perín’s goal. However, it was Juventus who found the net, with Ángel Di María. The Argentinian received a beautiful pass from Danilo, between the opponent’s lines, dominated by turning and kicked cross, from outside the area, to score the second, in the 22nd minute of the final stage.
