The match ends with a 1-2 home defeat for Juve in a match
which saw the bianconeri dominate for most of the time and expressing great football and determination. If in the last few matches one could have argued that Juve did not make an effort it was surely not the case in the match against the giallrossi which saw luck beat determination for a result which is far from truthful.
