Juventus enters the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup where they will face Empoli: Vlahovic, Koopmeiners, Conceiçao and Nico Gonzalez seal the 4-0 win over Cagliari.
A breath of oxygen after freediving. A deep breath that burns the lungs and refreshes the body. The victory is worth it Juventus against the Cagliari by 4 to 0 and the consequent passage of the next round Italian Cupafter a period of difficulty and protest from the fans. Absolute protagonist of the whole evening, Dusan Vlahovic.
Just him, and who else?! Precisely him: at the center of the controversies and insults, at the center of a banner that unrolls in front of the Curva Sud and which marks the peace made, he himself whose future seems in the balance despite Giuntoli, in the pre-match, open to the renewal. Just him: Dusan Vlahovic. It was the Serbian striker who broke the balance in the 44th minute of a very complicated first half for Juventus. In fact, after 40 seconds it is Lapadula who opens the ball, forcing Di Gregorio into a difficult save and sending a message to everyone: it won’t be a walk in the park. Then Yildiz tries with a semi-reverse kick, Conceiçao tries more than once. But Vlahovic scores the 1-0 and it couldn’t have been otherwise.
Galvanized by the goal before the break, the music changed in the second half and from the first minutes Juventus dictated the pace. At 52′ the parable of Buyers it goes under the crossbar, directly from a free kick. A handful of minutes later, in open spaces, Juve came close to scoring a trio first with Conceiçao and then again with Vlahovic who had two goals disallowed for offside. There is glory, however, also for Conceicao who scores the 3-0 on an assist from Nico Gonzalez. And it is the Argentine himself who closes the evening with a lob that sets the result at 4-0 and has a bit of a taste of regret for how the season went without him. In the meantime, however, Juve enjoys access to the cup quarter-finals, to be played against Empoli.
