Before the reunion with SC Freiburg, Italy’s record champions Juventus Turin solved their mandatory task in Serie A with difficulty. The Old Lady beat bottom Sampdoria Genoa 4: 2 (2: 2) on Sunday evening, but showed weaknesses, especially on the defensive.
The round of 16 second leg in the Europa League is on the program in Breisgau on Thursday. Juve, who won the first game against Bundesliga club Freiburg 1-0 at home, will have to play differently than they did against Sampdoria to progress.
Torino seemed to have everything under control after goals from Bremer (11th) and Adrien Rabiot (26th), but the guests equalized with a double strike. Tommaso Augello (31st) and Filip Djuricic (32nd) scored.
Rabiot made it 3-2 (64′), Dusan Vlahovic put a penalty kick on the post and missed the preliminary decision (69′). Matias Soule made everything clear with his first Serie A goal (90+4).
