Conceicao close

Francisco Conceicao moves in from the right and shoots a left-footed shot just past the far post from the edge of the penalty area!

Oh dear. Juve attempt an attack, but Savona spectacularly pushes it wide of the goal as Conceicao retreats…

Prati shoots from distance to Cagliari, it remains a very open game.

Juventus chance

The cross comes from Juventus on the right with Conceicao, Kenan Yildiz with an acrobatic volley shot down by Wieteska in the penalty area! It also hit Vlahovic, who failed to direct the ball towards the goal.

Kalulu panics slightly and gives away a corner, and again the crosses come again and again from the Cagliari right side.

In the resulting corner, Di Gregorio doesn’t hit the ball far into the crowd, but Gaetano’s rebound sends the ball crashing to the ground.

A slap in the face for Lapadula. He has to be very, very careful as he completely smashed his face while playing for Peru last year.

Actually, it wasn’t a brilliant through ball from Koopmeiners, but a deflected shot that accidentally went through Vlahovic…

Vlahovic over!

Vlahovic matched the Koopmeiners’ pass; he was not offside, but then shot from a tight angle over the edge of the six-yard box.

Kenan Yildiz gives and goes with McKennie, but it’s not a proper cross for Vlahovic, nor a proper shot towards the back post.

11′

Zortea has a lot of fun on Cagliari’s right, a cross that Lapadula can’t quite control at full effort.

Vlahovic blocked before the throw, but was still offside.

Lapadula fended off Koopmeiners with a spectacularly clumsy two-footed attack, but luckily he moved out before it became too dangerous.

Chance for Cagliari!

What a chance in the first 40 seconds!

Zortea rolled out of the way for Lapadula to slide in, and Di Gregorio made a stunning save with an outstretched foot!
