JAKARTA - Juventus won positive capital in their efforts to penetrate the semifinals of the 2022/2023 Europa League. The Serie A club won a narrow victory against Sporting CP in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final at the Allianz Stadium on Friday, April 14, early morning.

Juventus' only goal was scored by Federico Gatti for Juventus. This is the only goal for him with Juventus.

The fierce encounter at the Allianz Stadium looks set to end goalless until the 73rd minute. The reason is, both teams have played extraordinarily to score goals.

Then the deadlock was broken by Juventus player Gattti. He scored from close range to secure a slender lead in the first leg.

However, this victory was not only due to Giattti alone. The goalkeeper, Mattia Perin, who replaced Wojciech Szczesny, also deserves praise.

Perin made a vital double save to maintain La Vecchia Signora's slender advantage.

Perin replaced Szczesny who had a dangerous incident. Szczesny left the field due to chest pain. However, Juventus immediately confirmed their goalkeeper was "doing well".

Following this, Juventus will travel to face Sassuolo in Italy's Serie A, on Sunday ahead of the second leg. Meanwhile Sporting hosted Arouca on the same day.

In other matches, the Serie A club still has hope of qualifying for the Europa League semifinals. Despite losing 0-1 to Feyenoord in the first leg, the opportunity for the top four is still open because the second leg takes place at home.
