After the draw with Verona in the previous round, Juventus are back to win. The Bianconeri defeated Spezia 0: 3 tonight (Tuesday), which is in 16th place in the table. After a goalless first half, Albero Murata and Federico Bernardski came in as substitutes in the 61st minute and already after a minute collaborated on the way to the first goal that the Spaniard scored from the Italian’s cooking.
Federico Casa doubled (71), and Cristiano Ronaldo sealed the game with his own goal in the 89th minute – his 20th goal of the season in Serie A, two more than second-placed Romulo Lukaku. Spezia got a chance to shrink from the penalty spot but Andrei Glavinov missed the penalty in extra time. With the three points it took tonight, Yuba is now 7 points away from leading Inter.
Even before that – the hallucinatory event in Italy. Lazio were supposed to host Torino in Rome for the 25th round game in Serie A, but the visiting team did not show up because they are obliged to remain in isolation following Corona’s outburst at the team.
The league management decided not to postpone the game, Lazio players and the refereeing team arrived at the Olimpico Stadium and waited for 45 minutes on the grass, which could give the Eagles a 0: 3 technical victory in the end.
In fact, Torino had to go into isolation and did not take off for Rome at all, at the behest of the local health authorities in Turin, after 10 corona patients were discovered between the players and the professional team. This outbreak is of particular concern to authorities as it is the first group in the Seri e where carriers of the British corona strain are discovered, which may be more contagious.
The president of the Italian association said that “objectively this game can not be held”, but the management of the Serie A refused to postpone the game. Due to the league’s insistence on holding the game, the most likely possibility is that Torino will suffer a technical loss, but most likely the team will appeal if this is indeed the league’s decision.
To postpone the game it is necessary to get the consent of Lazio, but this is unlikely due to the bitter rivalry between the owners of the two clubs.
