Turintsy barely beat the rival at home.

Juventus hosted Genoa in the 1/8 finals of the Italian Cup. Both teams put forward a semi-reserve squad, which indicated that the Genoese would have a chance to catch the opponent's mistake. Andrea Pirlo, in particular, decided to leave the team leader Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench..

From the first minutes the teams set a pretty good pace of the game, and Juventus quickly opened the scoring - Kulusevski got an excellent pass in someone else's penalty area and left no chance for the goalkeeper in close combat. 1: 0. Turintsy continued to attack, trying to score a second goal to protect themselves from surprises.

A little later, Andrea Pirlo's team could score the second goal when Kulusevski broke out one on one with the goalkeeper and could not beat him in close combat. However, Turintsy still achieved their goal - Kulusevski found Morata with a luxurious one-touch pass, and he shot exactly into the near corner. 2: 0.

Nevertheless, the guests were not going to give up and quite quickly got back one ball - Chiborra won the fight in someone else's penalty area and sent the ball into the far corner with his head.. 2: 1. Before the break, the teams did not create really dangerous moments and went to rest with a minimal advantage of the Turin people in the score.

Genoa started the second half of the game pretty well and could completely restore parity, but Juventus was rescued by the crossbar after hitting an opponent from outside the box. Pirlo's players weren't as convincing as in the first half, but Genoa didn't do much in terms of play.. Nevertheless, the guests still equalized the score.

Melegoni got the ball on the outskirts of someone else's penalty and shot - the ball flew under the crossbar. 2: 2. The coaching staff of Turin reacted by replacing Ronaldo at the end of regular time, but the Portuguese did not manage to do anything, and therefore the game went into extra halves. Turintsy had a territorial advantage, but managed to score only at the end of the first extra half.

Rafya got his bearings after a confusion in someone else's penalty area and after a turn sent the ball into the goal. 3: 2.

The Genoese expectedly risked at the close of the match and could have scored - Radovanovic hit his head from the far post, but Artur knocked the ball out of the goal line. Later Juventus could score with the efforts of Kulusevski, but the goalkeeper of the ATP guests.
