CATANIA 0 - 1 JUVENTUS Carlos Tévez (59′) March 23, 2014 - 20:45 PM Angelo Massimino Stadium — Catania Referee: Antonio Damato Attendance:‬ 14000‎ Tevez sinks Catania Carlos Tevez got the only goal as Juventus suffered to beat 10-man Catania with both Coaches sent off. Mar 23, 2014 It was top against bottom with 55 points separating them in the standings. Antonio Conte rotated his squad after Thursday’s Europa League win over Fiorentina, giving Marco Storari and Daniel Osvaldo rare starts, while Andrea Barzagli, Angelo Ogbonna, Claudio Marchisio, Mirko Vucinic and Federico Peluso were injured. The Sicilians missed Sergio Almiron, Nicolas Spolli, Alberto Frison and Lucas Castro. AMAZONIAN Within the first four minutes Juve had a goal disallowed for a push and Gyomber was booked for a foul on the furious Carlos Tevez. The fiery atmosphere already started before the game when the Juventus team bus was pelted with objects along the road. It was an extremely tense start and a brawl broke out after seven minutes when Giorgio Chiellini caught Pablo Barrientos with his elbow, so as the move continued Gonzalo Bergessio went in on the Juve defender with an elbow too. Fabian Rinaudo’s strike flashed across the face of goal and an Andrea Pirlo free kick sailed over. Martin Caceres bravely threw himself at a Monzon screamer from the edge of the box to charge it down. AMAZONIAN It was a surprisingly even game, as Alexis Rolin nodded wide from a Francesco Lodi free kick. There was more tension when Bergessio avoided a second booking for an elbow on Bonucci, but both Coaches protested so much that they were sent off simultaneously. A corner fell to Bergessio, whose shot was charged down inside the penalty area, while Osvaldo could’ve done better when turning wide with a jaunty back-heel flick, as he seemed to think he was offside on Pirlo’s pass and wasted a great opportunity. AMAZONIAN Osvaldo went very close after the restart with an acrobatic overhead kick that skimmed the crossbar when Stephan Lichtsteiner knocked down a Pirlo pass. Juve did eventually find a way through. Osvaldo knocked down a long Pirlo pass for Tevez, who surged forward and his angled drive bounced off Andujar’s hand to dribble into the far bottom corner. Catania fought back and a Barrientos ball flashed across the face of goal with Bergessio just unable to get the final touch from a couple of yards and Chiellini almost putting it into his own net. AMAZONIAN Bergessio and Chiellini continued their duel that had lasted since the start of the game and the Catania striker took it too far with a second yellow card for another elbow. Tevez attemped an audacious chip that sailed over the bar and Andujar did very well to fingertip a Pirlo free kick out of the near top corner. Lodi had penalty appeals, but clearly stumbled without contact from Kwadwo Asamoah. AMAZONIAN Vidal had the chance to make it 2-0, but ballooned horribly over the bar from a Tevez counter-attack. Tevez then did the same on another opportunity when going for goal himself after a Gyomber error. Everyone from Catania went up for a free kick and Juve broke on the counter, but Lichtsteiner missed the open goal with Andujar scrambling back. AMAZONIAN CATANIA: Andujar; Bellusci (Leto 65), Gyomber, Rolin; Izco, Plasil (Peruzzi 81), Lodi, Rinaudo, Monzon; Bergessio, Barrientos (Keko 84) JUVENTUS: Storari; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Padoin, Isla (Asamoah 65); Tevez (Giovinco 87), Osvaldo (Llorente 63) Ref: Damato Sent off: Bergessio 67 (C ) http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

CATANIA 0 - 1 JUVENTUS Carlos Tévez (59′) March 23, 2014 - 20:45 PM Angelo Massimino Stadium — Catania Referee: Antonio Damato Attendance:‬ 14000‎ Tevez tightens champions' grip on the title The Argentine striker struck early in the second half to seal maximum points against Rolando Maran's side, who had Gonzalo Bergessio sent off. Mar 23, 2014 Juventus took a step closer to the Serie A title on Sunday as Carlos Tevez scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Catania. AMAZONIAN In a scrappy, turgid affair devoid of any pattern or fluency, Tevez's 16th Serie A goal of the season just before the hour mark was enough to separate the two sides at Stadio Angelo Massimino on Sunday. Midway through a first half littered with fouls and scuffles on the field, both Antonio Conte and Rolando Moran were dismissed by referee Antonio Damato seemingly for disagreeing with a number of the official's decisions. The breakthrough arrived in the 59th minute, when Pablo Daniel Osvaldo knocked down Andrea Pirlo's long pass into the stride of Tevez, who powered low into the bottom left-hand corner from just inside the area. AMAZONIAN Catania, struggling desperately at the bottom of the table, had Gonzalo Bergessio sent off midway through the second half for a second bookable offence after leading with his arm in an aerial challenge with Giorgio Chiellini. The red card seemed to demoralise the struggling home side, who up until that point had fought hard to combat their illustrious opponents. The win, Juventus' sixth Serie A success in a row, leaves the Turin giants 14 points clear of Roma as they continued their seemingly inexorable charge to a third-successive Scudetto. AMAZONIAN Their beleaguered hosts, meanwhile, remain rooted to the foot of the table, four points adrift of safety. The opening to the game saw three bookings inside the first 15 minutes, with Pirlo's off-target free-kick the closest either side came to a goal. Alexis Rolin headed wide for the hosts from close range, then Damato sent both coaches from the touchline midway through the half. AMAZONIAN Conte appeared incensed with a decision made by the official, who jogged over to the technical area and dismissed the Juve coach before also sending his opposite number Maran to the stands. Osvaldo came close to opening the scoring 12 minutes after the break, sending an acrobatic effort narrowly over the crossbar, before providing the chance for his strike partner Tevez to break the deadlock two minutes later. The Italy international nodded Pirlo's raking pass perfectly into Tevez's path, and the Argentina international burst forward before unleashing a shot that crept in at the far post despite a strong hand from Mariano Andujar. AMAZONIAN The goalkeeper faired better 15 minutes from time, tipping behind another dangerous set-piece from Pirlo, before Tevez ought to have put the game beyond doubt six minutes from time. After robbing Norbert Gyomber on the halfway line, he raced clear on goal but sent his effort wide of the post with only Andujar to beat. It mattered not as Juve held on for the win to take a step closer to the title and simulataneously deepen Catania's relegation fears. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Seba in campo.

Vidal alto.

Incredibile, il Catania non ha solo giocatori sudamericani in rosa. Entra l'italiano Biraghi.

Andujar salva su Pirlo.

Entra Asamoah

Damato da Barletta é di gran lunga il peggiore in campo.

Llorente sta per entrare

CARLOS TEVEZ 0-1

Squadre come il Catania non dovrebbero essere in serie A.

Milan in goal, Kaká.

Speriamo di avere le forze necessarie per farlo.

Ma si stancheranno i catanesi sudamericani nel secondo tempo?

Rissa.

Confusione incredibile in campo. Catania squadra da serie B.

Espulsi entrambi gli allenatori!

Avranno bevuto qualche caffé miracoloso?

Rolin testata fuori.

Osvaldo ammonito.

Stavolta Andrea non segna su punizione.

Pensavo che Plasil fosse la marca di una supposta.

12 sudamericani in campo. Agonismo alle stelle.
