CHIEVO VERONA 0 - 1 JUVENTUS - Cristiano Biraghi 7' (own goal) Saturday, August 30, 2014 6:00 PM Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi — Verona Referee: Carmine Russo Chievo 0-1 Juventus: Old Lady Get Off To Winning Start Aug 30, 2014 Juventus beat Chievo 1-0 at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi in Verona in the opening match of the 2014/15 Serie A season. An early own goal by Chievo defender Cristiano Biraghi was enough to separate the sides but it didn’t tell the full story as the away side completely dominated the game and should have won by more on Massimiliano Allegri’s debut on the Juventus bench. Juventus could have opened the scoring in the first minute of the game when a Stephan Lichtsteiner cross found Carlos Tevez free in the box but he dragged his shot wide of Francesco Bardi in the Chievo goal. Just five minutes later the away side did take the lead as a corner from Tevez found Martin Caceres, who rose high at the back post and headed the ball down and it seemed to go in off the back of Biraghi in to the Chievo goal. Not long after continued pressure by the away side nearly resulted in a second as Arturo Vidal was denied by a clearance a yard out after his twice hit shot was scrambled away by the home defense. Juevntus were completely dominant all over the pitch at this stage and went close to extending their lead once again on 34 minutes as new signing from Paris Saint-Germain, Kingsley Coman had a wicked shot brilliantly saved by Bardi, who denied the young Frenchman his first goal for the Old Lady. Just before the half time whistle the Bianconeri had two great chances to increase their lead, as first Tevez struck the crossbar after been picked out by Lichtsteiner and then a corner was meet by Caceres but again his header hit the crossbar to the relief of Bardi. Just after the break it was the debutante Coman who went very close to adding a second as he hit a superb 25-yard shot but it just flew wide of the Flying Donkeys goal. Mid-way through the half the away side continued to control the game and a lovely move down the right between Lichtsteiner and Vidal saw the Chilean’s floated cross meet by the incoming Coman but his header drifted over the bar. Moments later substitute Fernando Llorente had a header well saved by Bardi and from the resulting corner Caceres had a shot deflected over six yards out as the ball seemed destined to hit the back of the net. It wasn’t until the 76 minute that the home side created their first chance of the game and what a chance it was as substitute Alberto Paloschi blocked shot fell into the path of Maxi Lopez but his shot was well smothered by Gianluigi Buffon in the Juventus goal. No more clear cut chances were created and the Old Lady will go back to Turin happy with their winning start to the new campaign. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

CHIEVO VERONA 0 - 1 JUVENTUS - Cristiano Biraghi 7' (own goal) Saturday, August 30, 2014 6:00 PM Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi — Verona Referee: Carmine Russo Juve 'only' win 1-0 at Chievo Juventus dominated Chievo, but only won with an own goal, as they rattled the woodwork three times and Kingsley Coman had a splendid debut. Aug 30, 2014 The reigning champions had won three consecutive Scudetti, but Antonio Conte was gone to be replaced by Massimiliano Allegri. Andrea Pirlo, Alvaro Morata, Andrea Barzagli and the suspended Giorgio Chiellini missed out, while Fernando Llorente and Sebastian Giovinco had flu, so 18-year-old Kingsley Coman was thrown straight in for his Serie A debut. Chievo had Sergio Pellissier banned and surprisingly dropped Alberto Paloschi in favour of Ezequiel Schelotto. Juve started strong with Carlos Tevez drilling wide after 32 seconds and took the lead on six minutes, as a corner was curled to the back post for Martin Caceres after Francesco Bardi misjudged the flight of the ball. It looked to take a deflection off Cristiano Biraghi, as it seemed almost impossible to score from such a tight angle. The Uruguayan got the first Serie A goal of 2014-15, his first since October 2012. Arturo Vidal tried everything possible to score from close range, but at full stretch was eventually denied by a Bostjan Cesar goalline clearance. From that corner, the Chilean’s header cracked against the upright. Schelotto wasted a Chievo counter, but the impressive Coman stung Bardi’s gloves with a fierce angled drive. Juve hit the woodwork again before half-time with Tevez sliding in to meet a Stephan Lichtsteiner low cross, turning it against the bar. Moments later the crossbar was thumped for a third time by a looping Caceres header. Coman almost marked his Serie A debut with a goal, his curler flashing inches wide, then he nodded a Vidal cross just over the bar. There was more bad news for Chievo, as Ivan Radovanovic was stretchered off after an accidental blow to the head. Fernando Llorente saw his looping header palmed off the line and from that corner a Caceres volley deflected over. The Spaniard also failed to tap in from six yards and Juve started to worry they’d pay for being this wasteful. Maxi Lopez got on the end of a lucky ricochet on 76 minutes, forcing Gigi Buffon into a desperate reaction save from point-blank range. The Argentina could’ve done better had he not slipped on the dismal Bentegodi turf. Tevez drilled wide from distance, adding to the slew of wasted opportunities. Chievo: Bardi; Frey, Dainelli, Cesar, Biraghi; Izco, Mangani (Radovanovic 46) (Cofie 69), Hetemaj; Schelotto (Paloschi 46), Birsa; Maxi Lopez Juventus: Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Ogbonna; Lichtsteiner, Vidal (Pereyra 86), Marchisio, Pogba, Asamoah; Coman (Llorente 68); Tevez Ref: Russo http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

CHIEVO VERONA 0 - 1 JUVENTUS - Cristiano Biraghi 7' (own goal) Saturday, August 30, 2014 6:00 PM Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi — Verona Referee: Carmine Russo Chievo 0-1 Juventus: Own goal gives champions slim win Massimiliano Allegri, who replaced Antonio Conte as Biaconeri boss in the summer, saw his side take all three points in their opening Serie A game of 2014-15. Aug 30, 2014 Juventus opened their Scudetto defence by bagging a slender 1-0 win at Chievo on Saturday thanks to an own-goal from Cristiano Biraghi. New coach Massimiliano Allegri saw his side deliver an ominous display that should have resulted in a wider margin of victory. Biraghi deflected a header from Martin Caceres into his own net after seven minutes, but Juve were unlucky not to find the net again as Arturo Vidal struck a post and Carlos Tevez twice hit the crossbar. Chile midfielder Vidal also saw an effort cleared off the line, although Chievo spurned a late chance to equalise when Maxi Lopez was denied by Gianluigi Buffon. The intensity of Juventus' performance dipped in the second period, but Kingsley Coman twice went close on an encouraging debut. Allegri was without the injured Andrea Pirlo, but his team almost got off to a dream start as Tevez dragged an effort wide in the first minute. The reigning champions were quickly into their stride and took the lead when Tevez's deep corner was met by Caceres, who nodded home at the back post with the aid of a deflection off Biraghi. Chievo, winless against Juventus since 2010, almost found a response when Lopez - making his debut - controlled in the area and turned before missing the target. Key midfielder Vidal, the subject of much transfer speculation this summer, was a constant menace and twice went close to extending Juve's lead. After his initial shot had been blocked on the line, Vidal saw a diving header cannon off the post and Juve hit the woodwork on two further occasions before the break. Tevez's half-volley from Stephan Lichtsteiner's dangerous centre hit the crossbar and the Argentinian also struck the bar with a looping header. The impressive Coman almost marked his bow with a fine goal early in the second half, curling an effort narrowly wide. A beautiful cross from Vidal was headed over by the teenage Frenchman, with Juve continuing to appear in control. Yet for all Juve's dominance, Lopez missed a golden chance for the hosts late on, Buffon making a sprawling save after the ball had fell kindly for Chievo's Argentine forward 12 yards out. There were no further scares for the visitors, who handed a first appearance to Roberto Pereyra as a replacement for Vidal. Chievo saw coach Eugenio Corini dismissed in stoppage time after he appeared to take a step onto the field to retrieve the ball for a throw-in. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Corini entra in campo e viene espulso.

Padoin

Esce il mancunian.

Poteva pareggiare il Chievo.

Incredibile, di nuovo un goal fallito.

Llorente vicino allo 0-2

Coman bravissimo esce. Entra Llorente.

Ora sbaglia Arturo.

Bel colpo di testa di Coman.

Vidal non vuole uscire. @@

Punizione dal limite senza Pirlo.

Pogba grandissimo.

Pereyra entrerá per Vidal.

Coman!

Coman fa cose difficilissime e ha solo 18 anni!

Succederá sicuramente.
