The dream of a “grand slam” faded away at its best moment. Less then a month after the triumph in the Viareggio Cup, the Primavera said goodbye to the Coppa Italia and in the strangest of manners.
Against Roma, in the 2nd leg of the semi-final, the team did not manage to take advantage of the 2-2 obtained in Rome and said goodbye to its cup hopes. At the Chisola the match ended 2-0 for the giallorossi who took advantage of a shocking start to the match making the encounter theirs.
The story of the match lasted 11 minutes in reality, just the time for Mladen and Tovalieri (son of Sandro a well known striker in the 80s and 90s) to score one each and put a heavy weight on the match.
In the remaining 80 minutes (plus stoppage time), the bianconeri attacked in search of extra-time at least. Together with Immobile, Esposito, Rossi and Daud, came on Yago – for an injured Marrone and Giovinco.
Daud hit an incredible post in the first half and goalkeeper Frasca and his colleagues in the defence did the rest.
Juventus bids farewell to the Coppa Italia just one step away from the final. Roma proceed and will now await the winner between Genoa and Milan. The first round of the double-challenge went to the giallorossi and it is now up to Ranieri’s team to even the bill.
