Juventus and Roma scoreless draw with little excitement: At the Stadium, caution prevailed with just one chance each, from Vlahovic and Pellegrini. The Bianconeri failed to make a solitary run at the top of the table and are now tied for first place by Inter, Torino and Udinese. So Thiago Motta has to slow down after the first two victories, for Daniele De Rossi a breath of fresh air after the home defeat against Empoli.

A goal by Brenner at the end of the first half and a penalty missed by Cutrone in injury time gave Udinese a precious 1-0 home victory over Como. In a game that wasn’t particularly rich in emotion, the Friulians were good at capitalizing on one of the few dangers created over the 90 minutes. In the 17th minute, the first chance fell to the visitors, with Da Cunha firing a close-range shot wide with his left foot after Okoye parried a cross from Iovine from the right. In the 32nd minute, Belotti tried to head the ball, jumping ahead of Bijol, but his header went just wide. At the best moment for the newly promoted team, it was the home team who took the lead. Ehizibue ran down the right and crossed into the center for Brenner, who, thanks to a sloppy right-footed shot, found the post and then the back of the net, fooling a immobile Reina. It was 1-0 with which the two teams went to the break, despite a new chance for Fabregas’ men at the end of injury time when Strefezza whistled past the post with a beautiful right-footed shot from distance.
In the second half, after a flurry of substitutions, the first opportunity materializes in the 26th minute and it is for the Lariani, when the new arrival Paz shoots just wide with his first shot on goal. In the 43rd minute, a defensive intervention with the chest by Ehizibue is needed to stop a header from a corner by Kempf, which seemed to be headed into the corner. At the start of injury time, the possible turning point. The new entrant Payero hits the ball in the area with his hands and the referee, called to the monitor by the VAR, awards the penalty to the Lombardy team. Cutrone steps up to take the penalty, but kicks it out. The match thus ends 1-0. After three days, the Bianconeri fly to 7 points while Como remains last at 1. (ITALPRESS).
