Juventus Turin temporarily took control of Serie A thanks to a double from Vlahovic against Genoa.

A week after being taken off at half-time against Naples, Dusan Vlahovic showed that he had digested Thiago Motta’s tactical choice. Saturday, for the 6th day of Serie A, the Serbian striker scored twice in the victory (0-2) for the Bianconeri on the Genoa pitch. And the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder showed that he could perfectly give a second chance to an attacker who missed his match.

With the two teams tied at the break, Vlahovic struck twice. First by converting a penalty obtained after a handball from Koni De Winter (0-1, 48th), then with a sumptuous left-footed cross strike to deceive Pierluigi Gollini, the Genoese goalkeeper (0-2, 55th) . Entering the hour mark, Francisco Conceicao distinguished himself by signing the third Piedmont goal with an uncontrolled left strike (0-3, 89th).

On the French side, Pierre Kalulu started in defense, while Khephren Thuram came on during the match in place of Kenan Yildiz and was the decisive passer on Conceicao’s third goal. While waiting for the meeting between Torino, leader before this 6th day, and Lazio Rome on Sunday, the Turinese have provisionally taken the lead in the ranking. A little earlier in the afternoon, Inter Milan won (2-3) on the Udinese pitch, with an assist from Marcus Thuram for Lautaro Martinez, author of a double.
