Juve’s hopes of winning the title take another hit as Lautaro Giannetti shocks the Bianconeri.
Udinese forward Lautero Giannetti led his team to a stunning victory over Juventus in the Italian Serie A football match on February 12, 2024. Celebrating with his teammates after scoring a crucial goal, Giannetti’s performance left The Old Lady’s Scudetto hopes hanging by a thread. The match took place at the “Allianz Stadium” in Turin.
The defeat was a major blow for Juventus, as it now leaves them seven points behind league leaders Inter Milan. The Bianconeri, managed by Massimiliano Allegri, were far from their best throughout the game, making it one of the season’s biggest surprises.
Juventus were missing key player Dusan Vlahovic in attack, and their missed opportunities came back to haunt them. January signing Lautaro Giannetti capitalized on a close-range rebound, scoring the only goal of the match for Udinese in the 25th minute. Despite their efforts, Juventus failed to break through Udinese’s defense.
This result adds to Juventus’ recent woes, following their defeat to Inter in the Derby d’Italia. They now find themselves seven points behind the league leaders, with one more game played.
On the other hand, Udinese’s victory lifts them to 15th place in the league, securing only their third win of the season and putting them three points above the relegation zone.
Looking ahead, Juventus will face Hellas Verona in their next match on Saturday, while Udinese will host Cagliari on Sunday.
