Juventus and Lazio prepared to face them in the second leg of the cup semi-final, in contradictory circumstances, as the former fell into the trap of a draw with its host Cagliari 2-2, after being two goals behind in a result that increased resentment for its coach Massimiliano Allegri, while the latter returned victorious from the Genoa stadium 1-0. In the 33rd stage of the Italian Football League.
In Sardinia, after five consecutive victories over its host, Juventus contented itself with returning with a point from Cagliari Stadium, in a match that was like a “nightmare” in its first half, after conceding twice within less than 6 minutes from two penalty kicks.
The Brazilian Bremer caused the first, after touching the ball with his hand in the forbidden area, and Gianluca Gaetano successfully crossed it (30), before the Polish goalkeeper Szczesny committed a foul on Angolan Zito Luvombo, and this time the Colombian Yerry Mina blocked it (36).
The score remained the same until the 61st minute, when Serbian Dusan Vlahovic reduced the gap, before friendly fire saved the Turin giant from a sixth defeat of the season, after Alberto Dossena accidentally turned the ball into his own net at a fatal time in “87”, depriving his team of its eighth victory of the season. .
With the second draw in a row after the one that preceded it in the “derby” against neighboring Torino (0-0), Juventus raised its score to 64 points in third place, safe regarding its participation in the Champions League next season, especially after Italy was given a fifth place in the main continental competition.
Juventus is 12 points ahead of Lazio, which strengthened its continental fortunes and became sixth temporarily, by achieving its third victory in its fifth match under the leadership of its new Croatian coach Igor Tudor, and it came with a score of 1-0 thanks to the Spaniard Luis Alberto, who scored the goal in the 67th minute.
Lazio began its career with Tudor, who succeeded Maurizio Sarri, by defeating Juventus 1-0, but returned and lost to the latter 0-2 in the first leg of the cup semi-final, then its neighbor Roma in the league 0-1, before regaining its balance with two victories over Salernitana 4-1. Then on to Genoa.
