Juve came close to the correctional facility on the Salernitana lawn. Dusan Vlahovic snatched the victory (1-2).
Juventus came close to disaster, or at least a serious blow to its ambitions of catching up with Inter Milan at some point this season. The Bianconeri won (1-2) down to the wire on the Salernitana pitch on Sunday, during the 19th day of Serie A. Trailing against the 19th in the standings, and 11 against 10 for a large part of the second half, the Turinese will not boast after snatching their victory in the 91st minute.
Max Allegri and his team can thank Dusan Vlahovic and his helmet strike in added time. The Serbian took Danilo’s cross perfectly to deceive Benoît Costil (1-2, 90th+1), after having been a decisive passer, admittedly a little unintentionally, for Samuel Illing Jr a little earlier (1-1, 65th).
Giulio Maggiore, Salernitana midfielder, went from dream to nightmare in this game. After opening the scoring in the first act with a nice left-footed shot (1-0, 39th), the Italian left his partners after the break with a second yellow card (56th).
Thanks to this sluggish victory, the Old Lady returns to two points behind Inter, who won (2-1) against Hellas Verona on Saturday. The chase is therefore extended, pending the undoubtedly decisive confrontation on February 4 in Milan.
