Beat Spezia 3-2, Juventus Get First Victory

JAKARTA - Juventus received an important morale boost after recording their first win in the Italian League Serie A competition this season. The Bianconeri beat Spezia 3-2 early Thursday.

Never winning in the previous four games had made Juve slump to the bottom of the standings.

Left behind by Cristiano Ronaldo who moved to Manchester United, Juventus only recorded two draws against AC Milan and Udinese, and lost twice to Empoli and Napoli.

As observed by Antara from AFP, facing the host Spezia who appeared energetic from the start of the match, Juventus had difficulties when Massimiliano Allegri's team trailed 1-2.

Juventus' lead through Moise Kean's opener in the 28th minute, only lasted a moment because five minutes later Spezia replied through Emanuel Gyasi.

Entering the fourth minute of the second half, Spezia scored through French player Janis Aniste.

In a position left behind and in danger of getting worse again, Juventus rose by aggressively confining Spezia's defense.

In the 66th minute, Federico Chiesa who found Alvaro Morata's pass in the penalty area was able to get past defender Spezia and fired hard while dropping himself to equalize.

Juventus continued to take the initiative to attack which eventually led to a goal through Matthijs de Ligt in the 72nd minute.

The Dutchman received the ball from a corner which was continued by Leonardo Bonucci.
