JUVENTUS - EMPOLI 2 - 0 Carlos Tévez (43') Roberto Pereyra (93') Saturday, April 4th, 2015 - 9:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Piero Giacomelli Carlos Tevez's goal gives Juventus victory over Empoli Apr 4, 2015 A fourth straight Serie A title is Juventus' for the taking after they beat Empoli 2-0 on Saturday night to establish a 14-point advantage at the top of the table with nine games of the season remaining. Carlos Tevez opened the scoring shortly before the interval and Roberto Pereyra added a second in stoppage time as the Bianconeri responded to victories from Roma and Lazio to restore a seemingly unassailable lead at the top of the standings. They also had goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to thank for making several fine interventions in the second half when Juve dropped their intensity, saving their batteries for a trip to Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia in midweek and the Champions League quarter-final clash with Monaco a week after. Tevez was not given a rest by Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri, who did leave Alvaro Morata out of his side and handed Stefano Sturaro his first start in the absence of the injured midfield trio Claudio Marchisio, Paul Pogba and Andrea Pirlo. The energetic Argentinian certainly did not look like he needed any sort of a rest either as he led Juve's assault on a 21st victory of the season. Luigi Sepe did well to deny the Serie A top-scorer after he threw two Empoli defenders a dummy to make place for a shot. Tevez was making a nuisance of himself at all times and it was his pressure which forced Daniele Rugani to clear the ball back towards his own goalkeeper, who clutched the ball. The referee decided it was a deliberate backpass and awarded Juve a free-kick just outside the six-yard box. With 11 players lined up on the line, there was only one way Tevez was going to get the ball past them and that was by lifting it high into the roof of the net, and he executed his shot to perfection to give the hosts the lead. It was enough to wi.n the game, although Juve had to rely on Buffon in the second half to see them through. Despite getting enticed from his line to seek a lofted ball, the Italy number one realised he was not going to make it and retreated enough to turn Manuel Pucciarelli's header behind. Buffon denied the same Puciarelli with a perfectly-timed save which would have resulted in a penalty had he not got to the ball when he did, and he got back to his feet to punch Daniele Croce's effort away. Nothing else came Buffon's way and there was time for Tevez to fill his lungs again with a run and shot which Sepe could only parry for Peryera to convert deep in stoppage time as Juve's march towards a fourth straight Serie A title continued unabated with a fourth straight league win. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - EMPOLI 2 - 0 Carlos Tévez (43') Roberto Pereyra (93') Saturday, April 4th, 2015 - 9:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Piero Giacomelli Tevez: 'I always sweat for Juve' Apr 4, 2015 Carlos Tevez described his goal against Empoli and assured he is “always prepared to sweat” for Juventus. Apache had only just returned from international duty with Argentina, but played the entire 2-0 victory in Turin this evening. He broke the deadlock by scoring from a touched-on indirect free-kick, a tough ask from the outside corner of the six-yard box with numerous Empoli players on the line. “I knew I had to fire it high, as it’s difficult to score from that area of the goal,” Tevez told Sky Sport Italia. Initially there had been reports he’d be rested for this game, especially with a Coppa Italia semi-final against Fiorentina coming up on Tuesday. “I am always prepared to sweat for the team and now we have too many injuries, so it’s important to give our all. “I said before this game that Roma were still alive, so we had to do our job, and keep going until we are mathematically champions.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - EMPOLI 2 - 0 Carlos Tévez (43') Roberto Pereyra (93') Saturday, April 4th, 2015 - 9:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Piero Giacomelli Tevez takes down Empoli Carlos Tevez scored from a contentious indirect free-kick, as Juventus beat Empoli 2-0 to end an eight-game unbeaten run. Apr 4, 2015 The Bianconeri made changes, missing Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba, Kwadwo Asamoah, Martin Caceres, Kingsley Coman and Romulo, plus resting players ahead of the Coppa Italia semi-final with Fiorentina. Mirko Valdifiori was buoyed by his Italy debut against England in this very stadium earlier this week. Carlos Tevez forced the first save out of Luigi Sepe after four minutes, then the Apache left two defenders for dead with a sensational feint, but the goalkeeper rushed off his line to block. Arturo Vidal and Stephan Lichtsteiner both went for the same ball and eventually the Swiss international was denied by Sepe from close range. Massimo Maccarone fired wide of the near post, but Juventus took the lead when Daniele Rugani was rather harshly judged to have made a back-pass to Sepe. The indirect free-kick was awarded on the outside corner of the six-yard box and it was touched on for Tevez, who smashed his finish into the roof of the net. There were numerous Empoli players on the line, so his only hope of scoring was to lift it with real power. Moments later, Tevez went on another strong run and Sepe smothered at the near post. Gigi Buffon took the sting out of a Riccardo Saponara snapshot after the restart, then the veteran goalkeeper needed a great save on Manuel Pucciarelli’s diving header at the near post. Stephan Lichtsteiner wasted a promising team move by passing straight to Sepe, but Buffon again had to be on his toes to fingertip the ball off the feet of Pucciarelli after a Leonardo Bonucci error, then immediately got back on his feet to beat away a rising Saponara follow-up. Rugani performed a decisive tackle on Alvaro Morata, while Levan Mchedlidze’s back-heel flick from a corner was straight at Buffon. There were concerns for Max Allegri in the final minutes, as Arturo Vidal went off after landing awkwardly on his ankle. Empoli also played stoppages with 10 men, as Verdi had to be helped off when all the substitutions were completed. Nonetheless, Juve added a second late on when Tevez burst forward and his shot was parried into the path of Roberto Pereyra. This result puts an end to Empoli’s all-time club record eight-round unbeaten run in Serie A. Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Ogbonna; Lichtsteiner, Sturaro (Pereyra 77), Padoin, Vidal (Pepe 86), Evra; Tevez, Llorente (Morata 67) Empoli: Sepe; Hysaj, Rugani, Barba, Mario Rui; Vecino, Valdifiori, Croce (Zielinski 74); Saponara; Maccarone (Mchedlidze 72), Pucciarelli (Verdi 77) Ref: Giacomelli http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - EMPOLI 2 - 0 Carlos Tévez (43') Roberto Pereyra (93') Saturday, April 4th, 2015 - 9:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Piero Giacomelli Juventus 2-0 Empoli: Bianconeri Overcome Spirited Azzurri Side Apr 4, 2015 Juventus defeated Empoli 2-0 at the Juventus stadium to stretch their lead at the top of Serie A to 14 points. Carlos Tévez smashed the ball into the top-right hand corner of the net from the result of an indirect free kick to open the scoring shortly before half time and Roberto Pereyra added the Old Lady’s second deep into added time. The energetic Tévez was a menace to Empoli all night and he had the first chance of the game within the first five minutes when he nicked the ball just outside the penalty area and fashioned a shot which forced Luigi Sepe into his first action of the evening. Empoli then had a very soft penalty appeal when the impressive Riccardo Saponara clashed with Andrea Barzagli. However, both players were both guilty of pulling each other’s shirts. The best chance of the first half came for Juventus when Patrice Evra found his ex-Manchester United team-mate Tévez, whose fantastic dummy which took out three Empoli players completely, was enough to get himself into a one-on-situation, but he had squandered the chance when he could not get past the towering figure of goalkeeper Sepe. Lichtsteiner had a great chance after the half hour mark when both him and Arturo Vidal jumped for Padoin’s ball into the box; the ball came off the Chilean and broke for the Swiss who could not get his shot past the onrushing Sepe. It was difficult for the Bianconeri to break down the spirited Azzurri side who themselves have been in good form under their coach Maurizio Sarri who emphasized beforehand that his team intended to compete against the Champions. But the goal eventually came for Juventus on 41 minutes when the referee awarded Juventus a controversial indirect-free kick for an alleged back-pass when Daniele Rugani attempted to make a tackle and Sepe picked the ball up. Carlos Tévez smashed it into the top right-hand corner of the net and became the league’s top scorer with his 17th goal of the season. Empoli however played very confidently and set out to press Juventus high up the pitch. They started the second half very well and had chances to equalise when Saponara’s shot was saved comfortably, then when Manuel Pucciarelli went through against Buffon, but the goalkeeper got enough on his header at the edge of the box to push it behind for a corner. Buffon was called into action again when one-on-one with Pucciarelli he produced a great save to push the ball away before quickly recovering to stop the rebound, this was the visitors golden chance to draw level and arguably it would have been no less than they deserved, and it was telling from the reaction of Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri who cut an animated figure on the touchline throughout the game. Empoli struggled to create anything substantial after those chances and were harshly consigned to defeat when Pereyra scored a rebound deep in stoppage time after good work from Tévez had forced Sepe into an initial save. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - EMPOLI 2 - 0 Carlos Tévez (43') Roberto Pereyra (93') Saturday, April 4th, 2015 - 9:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Piero Giacomelli Juventus see off battling Empoli Apr 4, 2015 Juventus moved closer to a fourth successive Serie A title after a hard-fought victory over Empoli. Carlos Tevez's 43rd-minute strike following an indirect free-kick and a stoppage-time goal from Roberto Pereyra proved enough for the Bianconeri to extend their lead over second-place Roma. The Argentine frontman was a threat to the Empoli back line from the start and brought an early save out of Luigi Sepe. A clever turn by Tevez midway through the half saw Tevez bamboozle three defenders before Sepe raced off his line to deny the ex-Manchester City striker. Stephan Lichtsteiner also went close for Juve when he captialised on loose Empoli passing in defence before firing wide of goal. However, the hosts broke the deadlock on 43 minutes when Tevez smashed the ball home from an indirect free-kick, given after Sepe was adjudged to have picked up an intentional passback. The visitors started to enjoy more attacking opportunities after the interval and their first chance of note in the game came Manuel Pucciarelli's low header was tipped away by Gianluigi Buffon. Midway through the second period, Empoli had their best chance to get back on level terms when Pucciarelli was threaded through by Riccardo Saponara and, as he tried to round Buffon, the Italian international keeper managed get a hand to the ball before saving a follow-up shot too. However, Juve managed to weather the visitors' attacking bluster and, despite Arturo Vidal's late withdrawal through injury, Pereyra capped off another WIN for the defending champions in stoppage time after following up Tevez's shot, which was only parried by Sepe. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - EMPOLI 2 - 0 Carlos Tévez (43') Roberto Pereyra (93') Saturday, April 4th, 2015 - 9:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Piero Giacomelli Juventus 2-0 Empoli: Tevez thumps home indirect free kick in victory The Argentine scored just before the break, lashing the ball into the back of the net after the referee had penalised the visitors for a backpass, before Roberto Pereyra netted. Apr 4, 2015 Carlos Tevez led by example in the absence of several key stars as injury-hit Juventus' ominous march towards a 31st Serie A title continued with an unconvincing 2-0 defeat of Empoli on Saturday. Juve were without a multitude of players due to injury, including Paul Pogba, Claudio Marchisio and Andrea Pirlo, but Tevez produced an all-action display in their absence to inspire Massimiliano Allegri's side to all three points. The Argentina international was a constant nuisance to the Empoli backline during the first half, though the visitors were successful in frustrating their hosts for over 40 minutes. Juve's breakthrough eventually came just before the break, Tevez slamming home an indirect free-kick from 10 yards to delight the home fans. Empoli improved after the break and were only denied a 53rd-minute equaliser by Gianluigi Buffon's fine one-handed save, as Juve's hold of the midfield battle began to loosen. The Italy goalkeeper came to Juve's rescue again 19 minutes from time, before more fine work from Tevez led to substitute Roberto Pereyra adding a late second for Allegri's side, who restored their 14-point lead at the summit following Roma's WIN over Napoli earlier in the day. Despite their injury woes in midfield, Juventus did not appear to have any problems dictating proceedings during the early exchanges, crafting the first chance after just five minutes. Tevez was unsurprisingly at the fore, as he cut on to his right foot and curled a delicate effort towards the bottom-right corner, only for Luigi Sepe to turn it around the post. Serie A's top scorer was central to Juve's next opportunity 14 minutes later, deceiving two defenders with a delightful feint on the edge of the area before seeing his eventual effort smothered by the advancing Sepe. Juve remained utterly dominant and Daniele Rugani - who is set to join Allegri's men in July - eventually presented them with a glorious opportunity from an indirect free-kick inside the penalty area after a 42nd-minute backpass. Tevez duly smashed the ball beyond the helpless combination of Sepe and his wall, finding the roof of the net in emphatic fashion to break the deadlock. Regardless of their dominance, Juve had to rely on goalkeeper Buffon to keep them ahead seven minutes into the second period, as Manuel Pucciarelli raced on to Mirko Valdifiori's long pass and saw his header acrobatically tipped wide. The match began to descend into a scrappy midfield battle as the hour mark approached, with neither side crafting much in terms of goal-scoring opportunities. Juve had to count on the brilliance of Buffon again in the 71st minute, the veteran rushing out to tackle Pucciarelli before then denying the Empoli striker with a reaction save. Arturo Vidal almost put the result beyond doubt with 80 minutes on the clock, stroking just wide of the bottom-left corner from 20 yards. The Chilean then jogged off gingerly with a knock four minutes from time, to leave Allegri with another potential midfield injury concern. But any late collapse was prevented by Pereyra, who tapped home in stoppage time after Sepe had parried another effort from the influential Tevez. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Una squadra che vince senza fenomeni come Pirlo, Pogba e Marchisio e con Ogbonna, Padoin e Sturaro in campo non puó temere né Roma, né Lazio.

JUVENTUS - EMPOLI .- Saturday, April 4th, 2015 - 9:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Piero Giacomelli Marotta: 'Yes Rugani, no Valdifiori' Apr 4, 2015 Beppe Marotta confirms Daniele Rugani will join Juventus next season, but denied interest in Empoli’s Mirko Valdifiori. “Our focus is on this match and three points that are fundamental for our Scudetto campaign,” general manager Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. “Empoli are a reference point for youth in Italian football and have always churned out some very interesting players. “Among these is Rugani, who we have bought and will be part of the Juventus squad next season.” There had been rumours of interest in his Empoli teammate Valdifiori, who at 28 made his Italy debut against England on Tuesday. “There are players who reach maturity at a more advanced age, like Valdifiori. I recognise his qualities, but at this moment we are not in negotiations for him.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
