In the 26th round of the Italian Serie A, Juventus hosted Como at their home ground, but an unexpected scenario worked: the Turin side lost 0-2. "Losing points at home is painful," especially if your opponent is competing shoulder to shoulder with you to climb the table.
The meeting quickly turned in favor of the guests. In the 11th minute, Mergim opened the scoring with a precise shot. Juve tried to control the game, but the attacks lacked intensity: the final passes, the final shots - everything was missing.
The situation didn't change in the second half either. In the 61st minute, Maxans Kakere scored the second goal, further consolidating Como's dominance. After this goal, both the rush and pressure at Juventus increased, but it didn't turn into a result - it wasn't possible to change the score in the remaining minutes.
Following this defeat, Juventus remained in 5th place with 46 points. "Komo" increased their points to 45, cemented their position in 6th place, and continues to pursue the higher-ranked teams. That is, the intrigue heated up even more: now every game here is "at the price of gold."
Serie A, Round 26
Juventus - Como 0:2
Goals: Mergim (11), Maxans (61)
Juventus: Di Gregorio, Gatti, Kelly, Cambiaso, Kopmeiners, Miretti (Conseysao, 46), Locatelli, Thuram (Boga, 74), McKennie, Openda (David, 74), Yildiz.
Como: Butez, Smolcic, Marc-Oliver, Ramon, Valle, Perrone, Maxants (Moreno, 86), Lukáš, Baturina, Mergim (Carlos, 74), Duvícas (Morata, 86).
Brief conclusion: "Yuve" couldn't "get complete control" at home, while "Komo" saw an opportunity - and severely punished them. Now the Turin team needs to "close off" the result, not just "simply play the game," otherwise each such night will leave a heavy mark in the fight for the top 4.
