Amauri bring 3 points for the Old Lady
It's 1-0 week: after Udinese and Zenit, Juventus won at Cagliari too with the same result, thanks to an Amauri goal, but the defence did their part too, Manninger imitating Buffon to save on Matri near the end. The Bianconeri now have seven points and are already top of the League, the same as Inter Milan, who play later tonight. On Wednesday the next test, against Catania at the Olimpico.
The first long period without Trezeguet began today. Del Piero, Camoranesi, Zanetti and Zebina were also unavailable. Ranieri chose Amauri and Iaquinta up front for the match at Cagliari, coming between the ones against Zenit and Catania. Marchionni replaced Camoranesi. Grygera, Legrottaglie and Poulsen were rested. Salihamidzic, Mellberg and Marchionni played instead. Molinaro was selected over De Ceglie.
The fears before the match, remembering how the two games went last year, proved to be well-founded. Cagliari still had no points and played an open game, forcing the Bianconeri's defence to work hard on more than one occasion. The game could've had a turning point early on, but Amauri's goal was disallowed by referee Brighi, who saw a Iaquinta foul.
Buffon had a tougher afternoon than expected, especially because he suffered a muscle injury after just a few minutes. The keeper put on a brave face, and resisted the whole first half, proving decisive, especially on a Matri volley. With the half-time break approaching, Juve got their goal. Marchionni crossed from the left, Iaquinta controlled the ball and set up Amauri, whose shot was as spectacular as it was effective: it was the second goal from the Brazilian in one week and the half ended 1-0.
Only 20 of the 22 players that had started the match came on for the second half: Buffon was forced to leave and leave his place to Manninger, who made his official debut. On the other side, Acquafresca replaced Larrivey. Iaquinta had a chance, Bianco was booked, and then there was another substitution. Ranieri tried Tiago for Sissoko. Allegri replied putting on Jeda for Fini, with Cagliari aiming to try all they could to score.
But the Bianconeri had the best chances, twice with Iaquinta scissor kicks and then with a long-range shot by Marchisio, who was later booked; Ranieri then took the young midfielder off – who was also injured -, replacing him with De Ceglie. The hosts never gave up and Jeda was the most dangerous man, with Manninger having to save on him twice. But the Austrian keeper's true masterpiece save came in the 90th minute, on a Matri volley - a save that was as important as the goal by Amauri. So Juve fly to the top of the League, thanks also to their new players' contribution.
Amauri Berikan 3 point untuk Sang Nyonya BesarJuventus pulang dari Sant Elia, Minggu (21/9/2008) dengan tiga angka penuh setelah memetik kemenangan atas tuan rumah Cagliari berkat gol tunggal Amauri di babak pertama.
Kemenangan ini membuat perolehan poin Juve sama dengan Inter, yaitu tujuh angka dari tiga laga. Namun untuk peringkat, Inter yang memetik kemenangan 3-1 atas tuan rumah Torino, berada di puncak klasemen karena memiliki produktifitas gol yang lebih baik ketimbang Juve.
Sementara Cagliari harus bertahan di dasar klasemen karena hingga giornata ketiga belum bisa mengumpulkan satu poin, sama dengan AC Milan yang baru akan bertanding dinihari nanti melawan Lazio.
Gawang Cagliari sejatinya sudah jebol ketika pertandingan baru berjalan berkat kontribusi Amauri, namun gol tersebut dianulir karena Vincenzo Iaquinta melakukan pelanggaran sebelum gol terjadi.
Gol Juve baru benar-benar dianggap sah setelah umpan Iaquinta bisa dimaksimalkan Amauri dengan tendangan setengah voli dari dalam kotak penalti di menit 39.
Keunggulan tersebut memantik reaksi dari tim tuan rumah. Sejumlah peluang tercipta, beberapa di antaranya datang dari Robert Acquafresca yang masuk di babak kedua dan tendangan Alessandro Matri. Namun hingga peluit panjang dibunyikan, skor 1-0 untuk tim tamu tidak berubah.
Meski menang, Juve harus kehilangan sejumlah pemainnya. Yang paling mengkhawatirkan adalah cedera Gigi Buffon, yang memaksanya harus menyerahkan tempatnya untuk Alex Manninger di paruh kedua.
Cagliari: Marchetti; Pisano, Lopez, Bianco, Agostini; Fini (Jeda 62), Biondini, Parola (Lazzari 79); Cossu; Matri, Larrivey (Acquafresca 46)
Juventus: Buffon (Manninger 46); Salihamidzic, Mellberg, Chiellini, Molinaro; Marchionni, Sissoko (Tiago 59), Marchisio (De Ceglie 75), Nedved; Amauri, Iaquinta
