Dusan Vlahovic’s field, the Coppa Italia è of Juventus

Thanks to a flash goal by Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico won the Coppa Italia by beating Atalanta 1-0.

In the fourth minute the Bianconeri are already ahead: Cambiaso serves in depth on the offside line Vlahovic who enters the area and with the dstro pierces Carnesecchi in desperate exit. At 9’ Gatti from a corner kick finds himself without realizing it on his head the ball that ends up high.

Atalanta’s first shot on goal came on 44’ and it was taken by Pasalic with his right footer but Gatti pushed it away, with relative jubilation. In the second half, however, at 51’ Lookman on a counterattack tries but his shot is deflected into a corner by a whisker by Bremer.

Shortly afterwards Vlahovic claims a penalty for a push by Hien in the box but Maresca lets it go. At 57’ Djimsiti, after a lob caught in Iling’s face, crosses into the box and Koopmeiners header sends just wide.

In 64’ Chiesa serves Vlahovic on a counterattack, but first de Roon, who però gets injured and has to leave in tears, and then Carnesecchi providentially stop him. At 71’ Ruggeri crosses from the left for Miranchuk who counter-balance sends high.

At 72’ Cambiaso’s left cross from the right for Vlahovic who grazes a header and the ball ends up in the net but the Serbian this time is caught offside by VAR and this time Maresca after two minutes of HCL jubilation cancels.

At 79’ Lookman’s right-footed shot hits the outside base of the post with Perin unnecessarily outstretched in the dive. At’84’ Miretti alone in the box right-handedly hits the crossbar to Carnesecchi overhit.

There were initially six minutes of recovery time and at 94’ Perin blocked an Ederson shot but with play stopped for a foul on Danilo. Allegri è has been furious since è Vlahovic’s penalty was denied and Maresca sent him off.

In the ninth minute of stoppage time, Atalanta’s dream ends, as it continues to prove itself a great unfinished business, while for Juve è the 15th Coppa Italia in its history, the fifth for Massimiliano Allegri.
