Juventus wins with style

The challenge of Juventus was too much for Genoa as the great Serie A club came up with a masterful performance on the way to a 4-1 victory in which they outplayed the Rossoblu in every aspect of play. Claudio Ranieri’s Juventus opened the scoring only six minutes into the match with Zdenek Grygera’s brilliant drive from a tight angle. Only twenty minutes later Juventus scored with a highly professional cross by Zdenek Grygera headed-in by Amauri. To Genoa’s credit they didn’t wilt and certainly many will question the accuracy of a offside call that disqualified a Diego Milito goal but they were unable to score against Austrian ‘keeper Alexander Manninger till the later stages. With five minutes remaining in the match Alessandro Del Piero sent a perfect pass to Vincenzo Iaquinta who calmly stroked it into the net from twelve meters. Finally with penalty called on Nicola Legrottaglie for a hand-ball, Diego Milito scored from the spot but deep into added time Sokratis Papastrathopoulos was the unfortunate victim of a own goal to bring the match to its final 4-1 score-line.

Genoa returns to action a week Sunday against Lazio.
