Salernitana narrowly lost to Juventus as Dusan Vlahovic’s late header secured a victory for the hopeful contenders of the Serie A title.

Dusan Vlahovic’s injury-time header secured a dramatic comeback victory for Juventus as they won 2-1 against ten-men Salernitana to extend their unbeaten run and keep the pressure on Inter at the top of Serie A.

In the early stages of the game, the visitors enjoyed the majority of possession. However, Massimiliano Allegri’s side failed to replicate the same attacking prowess that led them to a resounding 6-1 Coppa Italia victory over Salernitana just three days ago.

As the first half progressed, it was the hosts who made Juventus pay for their lackluster attacking display. Giulio Maggiore opened the scoring with a fantastic finish, displaying quick footwork to shift the ball onto his left foot before curling it into the far corner, leaving Wojciech Szczesny with no chance.

After the break, Weston McKennie squandered a good opportunity to bring Juventus level. However, the game took a dramatic turn when Maggiore went from hero to villain, receiving a second yellow card early in the second half and reducing Salernitana to ten men.

Substitute Samuel Iling-Junior then drew the sides level with a powerful finish into the roof of the net, scoring just his second senior goal. The stage was set for a thrilling finale, and it was Dusan Vlahovic who delivered in the first minute of added time. The striker thundered home a header from Danilo’s cross, completing the comeback and snatching victory for the Bianconeri against bottom-of-the-table Salernitana.

This result extends Juventus’ unbeaten run and keeps them in the hunt for the Serie A title, putting pressure on league leaders Inter. The team will be hoping to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
