Night in fourth place for Motta’s team who has to thank a madness of goalkeeper Butez: intervention out of time on cats that the Frenchman transforms one minute from the end
Nobody ever in the last thirty years had presented himself to the Serie A with five goals in the first three games: the first to do so is Randal Kolo Muani and Como Thiago Motta clings to his brace to avoid yet another, underwater, draw the season. Juventus wins 1-2 thanks to the two goals of French, who in the first half unlocks the game as usual and at 89 ‘decides it on penalty. In the middle of so much Como and the momentary draw of Assane Diao, in the recovery a crossbar by Alberto Dossena.

For the second time in the season, five months after the first, Motta re-proposes the same formation twice in a row and therefore to the “Giuseppe Sinigaglia” confirms the eleven who had beaten Empoli 4-1 on Sunday: McKennie midfielder and Renato Veiga Again owner with external Weah Low right. Fabregas instead takes advantage of the very rich winter transfer window and immediately debuts the Croatian Smolcic as the right back, while the absence of the disqualified Fadera brings back to the field by the 1st Gabriel Strafe. As expected, the hosts immediately begin to attack the bianconeri without fear and in a very open start of match is Juventus to tremble more, especially when right, from the right, finds Nico Paz at the edge of the area: the Rasoterra is very angular and Michele Di Gregorio must relax with reactivity to touch the ball beyond the pole on his right. The indications of Fabregas in the non -possession is curious: strictly lowers on the defensive line to mark the Yildiz man, while Smolcic is concentrated with particular attention to McKennie’s movements.

In the first half hour the party of the “yes to waste” has Cutrone and Nico Gonzalez as the main representatives: they do not affect when they could, to the delight of the opposing goalkeepers. Those who undoubtedly have the “Killer Instinct” is Kolo Muani, who at 34 ‘on a ball recovered by Weah on a opposite corner kick is invented to the Como gate, challenge Dossena and then electrocuted Butez with a torpedo under the crossbar: Three games and four goals, with a sensational departure that in the Serie A of the third millennium is comparable only to that of Krzysztof Piatek with Genoa, in 2018. Too bad for him that his impact is not enough for this Juventus to put the game on The right tracks: in the recovery of the first half Teun Koopmeiners loses the ball by slipping into the area, Cutrone immediately crosses towards the second post and Diao – another new entry of the championship already particularly effective – Head of the head from close position. At the interval it is 1-1.
Randal always thinks about it

The admonition remedied in the first half convinces Motta to remove Nicolò Savona, so at the beginning of the second half Lloyd Kelly is already on the pitch in his place, on his debut in the Juventus shirt. Perhaps still dazed by the draw collected shortly before, however, as soon as the bianconeri returned to the field, they immediately risk collecting another goal, avoided only because Paz does not angola enough a “easy” shot and thus allows Di Gregorio to oppose. The lady is in cream, the Como is driven by the enthusiasm of the “Sinigaglia” and the 2-1 still hovers in the air, with the Juventus goalkeeper who this time rejects the attempt to establish narrowly. Motta after a quarter of an hour understands that there is something to change in the middle of the field and takes away the couple of medians (Koopmeiners and Locatelli) replacing her with Douglas Luiz and Thuram. Fabregas responds with Ikoné’s debut instead of Captain Cutrone. Then Mbangula for Yildiz for the second half of recovery, while Valle and Diao make room for Van der Brempt (immediately Ko) and Douvikas, fourth debut of the match. With the passing of the minutes for Juventus, the urgency of looking for the victory goal grows and so Motta ends the changes prematurely: an opaque Gonzalez for Francisco Conceiçao is also out. For Vlahovic, therefore, there is no space. If the Como in the final recriminates for a penalty not granted even after checking of the VAR (hand of cats), however, at 87 ‘Butez hits the head of the Juventus defender out high: this time it is yes penalty and Kolo Muani complete His personal “manita” since he is at Juventus. The crossbar of Dossena is the only result of the reaction of the Como of Fabregas: beautiful and dangerous, but dry of points against a still unexpressed Juventus but for two nights in fourth place.
