Bianconeri see off Bologna

The Juventus Men’s First Team picked up three more important points by beating Bologna 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium on Serie A Matchday 33.

Jonathan David opened the scoring with an early header, and Khephren Thuram then put the result beyond doubt with his own headed attempt in the second half.

THE MATCH REPORT

Things couldn’t have gone better once the first whistle blew, and the Bianconeri went ahead with the first chance of the game and inside two minutes. With 90 seconds on the clock, Pierre Kalulu put in a perfect cross from deep that Jonathan David met to head past Federico Ravaglia.

Francisco Conceicao had the ball in the net again not long after, but his celebrations were cut short by the offside flag.

As the game neared 15 minutes, Bologna had their first real sight at goal as Tommaso Pobega drove a shot wide from long range and was never troubling Michele Di Gregorio in a quiet opening 45.

At the half’s midway point, Conceicao again found himself in behind from deep on the right, in a near replica of the move that ended with his disallowed goal. This time, though, Ravaglia was able to turn the No.7’s effort behind.

Emil Holm went close to a goal-of-the-season contender just after the half-hour mark. A ball into the box was half-headed clear to the edge of the area, where Holm caught it sweetly on the half-volley, but his fierce strike bounced off the underside of the crossbar and away from danger for Bologna.
