Viareggio, Juventus-Sampdoria In The Final
The third derby of the season is also the third victory of Juventus against Turin. This last one however was the most difficult encounter but also the most important. Even on neutral turf Maddaloni’s team confirmed its superiority and beat the team coached by Scienza.
The final result was not 3-0 like in the two championship matches but a 3-1 which resulted decisive to reach the final of the 61st edition of the Viareggio Cup. The final will be played on Monday and will see Juventus opposed to Sampdoria.
At the “Raciti” in Quarrata, Juventus fielded the same formation that beat Siena with the only difference being Esposito who replaced an injured Ekdal.
The bianconeri started off well and immediately went close to scoring with Immobile who was only stopped from doing so by a miracle performed by granata goalkeeper Pascarella who played instead of the suspended Gomis. The attacker however made up with a goal scored on the 35th minute after a pass by Daud.
The result at the end of the first half is that of 1-0. In the second half, Daud went immediately close to the second goal while Pirrotta and Duravia came on for Marrone and Yago. Torino equalised on the 24th minute with a goal scored by Comi who headed home but Juventus reacted immediately and on the half hour went ahead again thanks to another goal by Immobile who deposited the ball in the net after a good projectile by Duravia.
This is not the end however and there is no derby without a third goal: the usual Daud saw to this after a good initiative by D’Elia. This was the 7th goal of the tournament for the Somali player who confirmed himself as top-scorer.
The end result was that of 3-1 with the third goal in fact being scored 10 minutes before the end.
The news of the victory of Sampdoria over Inter in the other semi-final immediately made the bianconeri aware of their opponents in the final. The big match will be played on Monday at the “Pini” stadium and will see Maddaloni’s team opposed to the current Italian champions.
