Youth League, Juve in the quarterfinals: 5-4 on penalties at AZ Alkmaar

Juve Primavera go to penalty kicks on the AZ Alkmaar field and gain access to the quarter-finals of the Youth League for the first time in history. A great satisfaction for Bonatti’s team, which will host Liverpool (victorious over Genk) in Vinovo on March 15th. Decisive on the eleven-meter shots was Senko’s save on the Dutch fourth attempt, which paved the way to success.

On the attack

–

A little more luck would have been enough – for the Bianconeri – to close the qualifying discussion before the ninetieth. But the attempts built especially in the first part of the match did not go well. Mulazzi and Savona at the start found a prompt response from the opposing goalkeeper, a bit like Chibozo before the break. And while Iling Junoor was inaccurate in a couple of good circumstances, the Juve rearguard had to deal with a wild de Jong.

Until the end

–

Still a good Juve at the beginning of the second half, Dutchmen still active and at times dangerous in Senko’s parts. The latter is monumental in countering an attempt by Meerdink around the seventieth anniversary, certainly the greatest danger overcome by Bonatti’s boys. Bianconeri in ten in the last ten minutes match for the expulsion of Omic (double yellow), but the final sacrifice immediately rewarded by the lottery of penalties.
