Juve on the run, Inter increasingly down

JUVENTUS-INTER 2-0

.
Sunday’s Serie A ended with a 2-0 win over Inter for Juventus, which, pending Monday’s postponements, moves to +4 on Napoli. Bonucci and Morata (on a penalty kick) scored the goals that sank Inter, which is further and further away from third place.

Mancini opts for a 3-5-2 specular to Allegri’s but the quality in the middle of the field is definitely inferior and the hosts take advantage of this to make the game: former Hernanes immediately hits a crossbar, Dybala does not take advantage of an assist from Mandzukic who then wastes another good chance. Once the difficult first quarter of an hour had passed, the guests organized themselves, took measures against the opponents and even managed to make themselves dangerous with a couple of plays from a dead ball (a close by Alex Sandro was decisive).

The second half opened with the goal that put the game on the downhill path for Juventus: D’Ambrosio’s header served an unintentional assist to Bonucci, who volleyed a right-footed volley into the net to make it 1-0. Dybala immediately goes close to doubling as Mancini has to unbalance himself by inserting first Ljajic and then Perisic. Juve, however, easily managed the result and doubled in the final thanks to Morata, who earned and converted the penalty that sealed the score. Useless in the final chances for Miranda and Eder, with Buffon denying the flag goal extending his unbeaten record (746′).
