21:48 Match Report

 

21:45 FT: Cagliari 2-2 Juventus

Juve clawed their way back, but it’s another far from convincing performance.

21:44 Juve chance

On the corner, ball lands in a sea of legs, Yildiz scuffs the finish and Scuffet smothers.

21:43 Juve appeals

Cross charged down, Juventus appeal, but Augello visibly had his arms clamped behind his back. Literally could not do more.

21:39 Stoppages

Into 5 minutes.

21:38 Dossena og

 

21:37 Cagliari chance!

Cagliari free kick into the box, Danilo risks an own goal with his header over the bar! Corner.

21:35 Cagliari 2-2 Juventus: Own goal!

Yildiz cross from the left for Milik, but Dossena gets there first with a clumsy slide in and ends up putting it into his own net!

21:35 Juve sub

Iling-Junior on, Cambiaso off

21:31 Vlahovic!

Cross floated into the box, Vlahovic acrobatic overhead kick, but it’s just over while wrestling with Augello.

21:30 Great battle

Chiesa fantastic first touch, but Hatzidiakos steals the ball at the by-line, sparks a counter, Luvumbo can’t get between two defenders.

21:29 Juve chance

Chiesa cross, Yildiz knocks it down for Cambiaso, shot charged down by Zappa for a corner.

21:27 Cagliari subs

Viola and Zappa on, Shomurodov and Nandez off. Shomurodov has cramp, so has an excuse for hobbling off very slowly indeed.

21:26 Oh dear

Makoumbou, who basically ducked in the wall for the Vlahovic free kick, then gets a pass completely wrong for a promising Cagliari counter-attack.

21:24 Juve chance

Ball over the top for Vlahovic, Scuffet gets there first, had a little kick out, but not sure he made any contact. Scuffet still making the most of it.

21:22 Juve sub

Milik replaces Locatelli. Juve have 4 strikers on the pitch. Someone check on Allegri…

21:20 Vlahovic goal

 

21:17 Cagliari sub

Deiola replaces Gaetano

21:16 Juve sub

McKennie on, Weah off

21:16 Rabiot over

Juve pushing now, Rabiot header over from a corner.

21:10 Cagliari 2-1 Juventus: Dusan Vlahovic!

Nandez will be even more furious now. Vlahovic curls in directly from the free kick, which he has to bend around the wall and back in to surprise Scuffet at the near post!

21:09 Nandez booked

Nahitan Nandez booked for a sliding tackle into Chiesa. He is making a very big song and dance about not touching him. Even if he didn’t, that was a very clumsy tackle right on the edge of the area.

21:05 Juve possession

There’s Juve possession, but they show no signs of breaking Cagliari down.

21:00 Szczesny save!

Awkward bounce, it falls into his path, Prati smacks it first time and Szczesny has to fly to palm that away!

20:57 Cagliari chance

Ooh! Ball flashed across the face of goal by Shomurodov, Luvumbo unable to get the tap-in! He just had to touch it!

20:57 Bremer booked

Bremer booked for the shirt tug on Shomurodov.

20:54 2nd half kicks off: Cagliari 2-0 Juventus

20:53 Subs

Kenan Yildiz on, Carlos Alcaraz off. Trident? Trident!

Prati replaces Sulemana.

20:38 Half-Time: Cagliari 2-0 Juventus

Gianluca Gaetano and Yerry Mina penalties, while Dusan Vlahovic’s goal was disallowed for a Federico Chiesa offside position.

20:37 Yerry Mina penalty

 

20:36 Spot-kick history

 

20:34 Oof

OK, that was indeed awfully close. Chiesa’s knee and a portion of his forehead were offside.

20:33 Yellow cards

Luvumbo booked, he will be suspended against Genoa. Moments later, Weah booked for taking down Luvumbo.

20:31 Offside confirmed

That took a long time to confirm, which suggests it was a lot closer than it initially looked.

20:30 Juventus goal disallowed!

Chiesa was offside when breaking down the left, he rolled across for the easiest of Vlahovic tap-ins.

20:25 Oh dear

Alcaraz balloons a shot into the night sky, earning jeers.

20:23 Cagliari 2-0 Juventus: Yerry Mina penalty

It was an odd decision, but it worked, Mina buried it in the same corner as Gaetano and Szczesny again went the other way. That’s the Colombian veteran’s first goal in Serie A.

20:21 Another Cagliari penalty!

Luvumbo’s a terrible finisher, but he is fast! Sprints into the box, dinks the finish over Szczesny while getting wiped out, cleared off the line, so the referee has to call it back and give the penalty. Szczesny booked. Yerry Mina wants to take it!

20:19 Cagliari chance

Oh that should be 2-0! Gaetano sends Shomurodov down the right, floats in a cross for Luvumbo, who volleys wide at the back post undisturbed!

20:16 Cagliari 1-0 Juventus: Gianluca Gaetano pen!

Nandez wanted the penalty, Gaetano took it and calmly swept into the near bottom corner, sending Szczesny the wrong way.

20:15 Penalty for Cagliari!

Bremer handball!

20:15 Hold on – VAR!

Handball on the initial Dossena header down to Luvumbo!

20:14 Szczesny to the rescue!

What a chance for Cagliari on the corner, Luvumbo prods from close range and Szczesny while falling has to stick out a foot to parry!

20:12 Gatti on a fine line

Two Gatti fouls in a row, Ranieri and the Cagliari fans are asking the referee if he forgot his cards…

20:07 Save on Weah

Sulemana error, Vlahovic lays it off for Weah, cheeky turn to get away, fires it straight at Scuffet’s chest at the near post.

20:06 Block on Vlahovic

Juve counter, Vlahovic shot charged down inside the penalty area after a good Chiesa run.

20:05 Cagliari chance

Luvumbo cross from the right, Gaetano only skims the ball with his head!

20:02 Shomurodov header

Cagliari corner, Shomurodov header straight at Szczesny.

20:01 Cagliari corner

That’s why they are fine with it – Rabiot gives it away cheaply, Luvumbo counter wins a corner.

20:00 Juve settling

Juventus settling into long periods of possession, which Cagliari seem fine with.

19:56 It’s very open

Juve attack now, Alcaraz shot charged down from outside the box.

19:54 Mina being Mina

Mina in a little tussle with Gatti, shows off that his shirt nearly got torn off – by tearing it off completely. On the corner, Shomurodov controls, sends Alcaraz past him with a dummy, but then fires off target.

19:52 Ouch!

Carlos Alcaraz elbowed in the head by Yerry Mina. In the penalty area. Alcaraz is bleeding. Ref considers it a normal challenge.

19:49 Cagliari chance

Luvumbo blasts just over the bar in the opening minute.

Rovella replaces Luis Alberto.

19:13 Lazio look comfortable

18:53 Lazio close

Corner, Romagnoli header deflected wide off Vogliacco.

18:49 Huge Lazio chance!

Koni De Winter slips, has no idea where the ball is, Marusic rolls it across to Felipe Anderson, he has to score until Aaron Martin flings himself in the way of the finish!

18:47 Martinez mess

Martinez came flying out and got it wrong, Marusic tried a lob, but he was offside anyway.

Romagnoli replaces Casale.

18:18 Half-Time: Genoa 0-0 Lazio

Big let-off for Lazio, Ekuban should’ve done anything except that!

18:17 Oh Genoa!

Ekuban, that was the wrong choice! Lazio corner, Genoa break and it’s three against one, Casale on his own, Ekuban has two options, but instead goes for goal and the angled drive is across the face of goal to skim the far post!

18:16 Lazio chance

Nearly! It was a good passing move, but the through ball for Luis Alberto was just behind him!

18:15 Audacious Retegui

Lazio play out from the back, Casale error, Mandas is a long way off his line, so Retegui goes for the lob, but it’s off target!
