Two goals by Del Piero
On the 7th matchday, Saturday night’s, Juventus beats Siena by a firm 3-0. The Bianconeri dominate on the field and gain three points thanks to a double goal by Del Piero and one by Camoranesi.
The Bianconeri kick off in attack, with Nedved assisting Ibrahimovic, who is eventually anticipated. Soon after, Siena goes for a series of offensive moves that, however, do not worry the Bianconeri’s defence. Except when Thuram clears promptly into the corner, taking the place of Buffon. Capello’s squad tries harder in attack, with actions taking place mainly in the flanks with Camoranesi and Zambrotta.
The best occasion for Juventus occurs after 37 minutes, with a cross pass by Zebina for Cannavaro’s head, who shoots wide of the post. A second chance comes two minutes later, with a cross shot by Camoranesi, forestalled into the corner. The Bianconeri become more dangerous in the last few minutes of the first half. After 42 minutes, Del Piero goes for a free kick from the edge of the penalty area but the ball is wide of the crossbar. On the 44’, it’s Ibrahimovic’s attempt to be wide of the net.
The second half starts with Siena substituting Camorani with Falsini, and Juventus more determined to break the tie and win the match. During the first 4 minutes into the second half, those who play hard at this aim are Cannavaro, with a header over the crossbar, Del Piero, who’s anticipated by Siena’s goalkeeper Fortin and Ibrahimovic who shoots wide of the net from a favourable position. The deserved winning goal for the Bianconeri comes 8 minutes later, and it’s scored by Del Piero. The action begins on the right wing where Zebina, one of the best players on the pitch tonight, shoots for Ibrahimovic’s head; when the ball passes in front of the home squad’s net here it comes Del Piero who successfully shoots in (0-1). Siena tries to react, in vain; first Buffon, then Zambrotta, neutralize Siena’s two attempts in attack. On the 15’ it’s the captain again who scores the second goal for Juventus.
It’s still the same actors who play the action: from the right wing Zebina serves Ibrahimovic who touches the ball eventually intercepted by Del Piero who, with a right-footed shot, beats Fortin. It’s 0-2. Capello’s squad is relentless and scores the third goal, when Camoranesi nods in on a free kick by Del Piero. Simoni makes use of all the subtitutions at his disposal, fielding Chiumento and Flo, while Juventus replaces Ibrahimovic with Zalayeta and Del Piero with Kapo. Eventually Tacchinardi subtitutes Appiah, who has successfully held the midfield together with Emerson. Juventus, thanks to this win, is still alone on top of the ranking.
