Primavera 1 | Cagliari-Juventus 0-0

At the CRAI Sport Center in Assemini, Cagliari Under 20 earned a crucial draw against Juventus, building on Lecce’s victory, thanks primarily to a solid defense and a decisive and in-form goalkeeper in Kehayov. The match ended 0-0 after an intense 90-minute game, including added time.

FEW CHANCES
After their victory against Lecce, the Rossoblu faced Juventus with concentration and order. The opening minutes saw a rather stalemated play, with the two teams studying each other. In the 13th minute, a long-range shot forced the Rossoblu goalkeeper to save. Cagliari attempted to threaten with a couple of runs: in the 21st minute, a free kick from Grandu brought tension in the box but no decisive deflections; shortly thereafter, a move involving Mendy and Marini caused concern for the Juventus defense. Juventus attempted to push forward, especially down the flanks with Merola and Leone, but each time they encountered attentive defense and Kehayov’s unstoppable ability, even saving a close-range header from a corner. The second half began with intensity from Juventus, who persistently attempted to break through. In the 48th minute, the visitors came close to scoring, but Kehayov responded confidently. Cagliari continues to sting: in the 50th minute, a counterattack led by Marini puts Juventus’s defense in difficulty, but the defense closes down. The battle continues to be intense but with few chances, until the grand finale, in which Kehayov scores twice to keep the scoreless.
