Rome, September 22 (BUS): Critics were calling for Juventus to use their younger players more during a horrific start to Serie A, and they had to be appeased after Moise Kean, Federico Chiesa and Matisse de Ligt each scored 3 goals. 2 wins at Spezia The Bianconeri won their first Serie A win of the season on Wednesday.
De Ligt scored the winning goal in the 72nd minute to complete the return of Juventus four minutes after the end of the first half. Playing in place of Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini, 22-year-old De Ligt calmly redirected the ball into a loose ball that was sent off after a corner kick.
The 23-year-old Chiesa had leveled the equalizer six minutes ago with a typical goal for the Italy winger: he blasted straight into goal by dribbling through the defender’s legs and then just barely hit the ball as he slid toward the ball, the AP said.
The 21-year-old Kane – like coach Massimiliano Allegri on his second spell at Juventus – gave the visitors an early lead with a long shot after Adrien Rabiot smashed a ball over the top from Leonardo Bonucci.
Spezia had responded with goals on both sides at the end of the first half, the first came with a single shot from Emmanuel Gyasi, who was dribbled off by Danilo on the left flank and fired a long shot into the far corner.
Gyasi celebrated as Cristiano Ronaldo, his idol and newly departed Juventus player, by leaping into the air and pumping his arms toward his body.
19-year-old French striker Janis Antist put Spezia ahead by defeating De Ligt on a counter-attack with the help of his shot saved by Bonucci.
Spezia almost made it 3-1, but minutes later Manuel Locatelli pushed her off the line. Juventus advanced to twelfth place, eight points behind leaders Inter Milan.
Hellas Verona has four points from two games since signing Igor Tudor to replace Eusebio Di Francesco as coach after three consecutive defeats to open the season.
