Juventus continued their impressive run in Serie A with a dominant 2-0 win over Hellas Verona at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. A goal and an assist from Khéphren Thuram secured a fifth consecutive league victory for the Bianconeri, keeping their unlikely title bid alive. With only six points separating them from the summit, Juventus have placed themselves firmly in the title conversation.
First Half: Juventus Dominate, But Montipò Stands Tall
Coming into the match, Juventus knew they had to capitalize on the top three dropping points over the weekend. Thiago Motta’s men started with high intensity, dictating possession and pressing high up the pitch. Khéphren Thuram had the first real chance, but Verona’s goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipò pulled off a brilliant save to deny the Frenchman after a well-worked move involving Weston McKennie.
McKennie, who was at the heart of most Juve attacks, thought he had given his side the lead in the 37th minute. His close-range header hit the back of the net, but the goal was ruled out due to a prior foul on Montipò.
The visitors were hanging on, with Montipò making multiple stops late in the half to frustrate Juve attackers Kenan Yıldız and Manuel Locatelli. However, just before halftime, Tomáš Suslov produced a stunning long-range strike that sent the Verona fans into a frenzy. But their joy was short-lived as VAR intervened and ruled the goal out for offside in the build-up, ensuring the teams went into the break at 0-0.
Second Half: Thuram and Koopmeiners Seal the Deal
Juventus resumed the second half with the same attacking mindset. Their persistence nearly paid off early when Randal Kolo Muani forced another excellent save from Montipò. As frustration started creeping in, Motta made a series of changes to inject fresh energy into the squad.
His tactical adjustments bore fruit around the hour mark. A well-worked passing sequence saw Andrea Cambiaso deliver a precise cutback from the left, setting up Thuram to calmly sweep the ball into the net. The Allianz Stadium erupted as Juventus finally broke the deadlock, marking their 14th consecutive league match with a goal.
With Verona failing to respond, Juventus put the game to bed in the 90th minute. A quick counterattack saw Teun Koopmeiners drill a shot past Montipò from a tight angle, securing another crucial victory for the Old Lady.
Juventus’ Title Hopes Still Alive
This win marks Juventus’ sixth league victory in 2024, keeping them within touching distance of the top. Though they currently sit fourth, they have a golden opportunity to draw level with third-placed Atalanta this weekend. With only 11 game weeks left, the Serie A title race is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling in years.
