Juventus Maintain Perfect Start with 3-0 Victory over Verona
Juventus continued their impressive start to the Serie A season with a dominant 3-0 victory over Verona on Monday, extending their winning streak to two matches. The victory propelled the Bianconeri to the top of the early standings, as they aim to reclaim the Scudetto they last won in 2019/20.
Dusan Vlahovic emerged as the star of the show, scoring twice to lead Juventus to victory. The Serbian striker opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark, giving the visitors a crucial advantage. Nicolo Savona, making his full debut for the club, doubled Juventus’ lead with a well-taken header from Samuel Mbangula’s cross.
Mbangula, a Belgian youngster promoted from the youth ranks, has made an immediate impact for Juventus, contributing a goal and two assists in his first two games. Vlahovic sealed the victory with a penalty just eight minutes into the second half, putting the game beyond Verona’s reach.
“He is certainly working hard on our aggression and our attitude,” Vlahovic said of new boss Thiago Motta. “We all agree that our attitude is the key to everything, if we have the right mentality, it all works better. We play for each other, but also there are tactical changes that we know about.”
Juventus will face their biggest test of the early season when they host Roma on Sunday. Meanwhile, Como secured their first Serie A point since 2003 with a 1-1 draw at Cagliari, thanks to Patrick Cutrone’s second-half equalizer.
