"Despite being just 10 games into his Juventus tenure, Luciano Spalletti believes he delivered his most important victory for the club against Bologna on Sunday. Juan Cabal came off the bench to score the only goal in the 64th minute at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, with Genoa also seeing Torbjorn Heggem sent off in the second half. It's a result that moved Juventus up to fifth in the Serie A standings and within a point of the Champions League places,"
""Because we were facing a team that has an identity, quality and enthusiasm, they were built well and even down to 10 men, they made it difficult for us. "Having won here means even more for my players, and they must be congratulated this evening. They did really well.""
Luciano Spalletti regarded the victory over Bologna as his most important at Juventus after Juan Cabal's 64th-minute winner at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara and Torbjorn Heggem's second-half red card. The 1-0 result lifted Juventus to fifth in Serie A and within a point of the Champions League places ahead of a key match against Roma. Juventus have won two of their last three league matches, matching the tally from the previous nine under Igor Tudor. The match shifted five minutes into the second half when Cabal met Kenan Yildiz's short-corner cross. Yildiz ranks among the youngest players with 20+ direct goal involvements over the last two seasons.
