Juventus, AC Milan Secure Narrow 1-0 Wins to Keep Pace in Serie A Title Race

Posted : 20 October 2024

Juventus climbed level on points with Serie A leaders Napoli after securing a narrow 1-0 victory over 10-man Lazio on Saturday. The match was decided by an unfortunate own goal from Mario Gila in the 85th minute, dealing a harsh blow to Lazio, who performed admirably despite losing Alessio Romagnoli to a red card in the 24th minute. Juventus struggled to break down Lazio's defense, with Gila’s misfortune being the key moment that gave them the win.

 

Lazio’s Romagnoli was sent off for a last-man foul on Pierre Kalulu, leaving his team to defend for over an hour with just 10 men. Despite being a man down, Lazio managed to frustrate Juventus, holding them off for much of the game. Juventus lacked creativity in attack and were unable to convert their possession into clear chances. In the end, it was a cross from Juan Cabal that Gila accidentally turned into his own net, handing Juventus the crucial three points.

 

Meanwhile, AC Milan secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Udinese, with Samuel Chukwueze's 13th-minute strike proving to be the match-winner. Milan’s challenge became tougher when Tijjani Reijnders was shown a red card in the 29th minute for a foul on Sandi Lovric. Despite being reduced to 10 men, Milan displayed resilience and team spirit to hold on for the win. Tammy Abraham missed a golden opportunity to double Milan’s lead but also injured his shoulder in the process, although later it was confirmed that the injury was not as serious as initially feared.

 

Milan’s win was played out in a subdued atmosphere at San Siro, as the club's ultras staged a silent protest in response to recent police action and media scrutiny. The ultras, who are facing legal challenges, refrained from displaying their usual banners and flags, with a large banner reading "Stay strong boys" in support of their arrested members. Despite the quiet stands, Milan maintained their focus on the pitch to secure an important win and keep pace in the Serie A title race.
