Serie A. Juventus clinched a hard-fought victory over Salernitana

Salernitana and Juventus clashed in the 19th round of the Italian Serie A.

Early in the match, both teams exchanged dangerous moments, yet shots from Sambia and Mckennie lacked precision. However, Majore had no such trouble: after his shot on Szczęsny's goal, Salernitana took the lead.

The second half largely saw Juventus mounting attacks. By the 53rd minute, Maggiore had already brought his team level but then saw himself sent off. It took Juventus 22 minutes to capitalize on their numerical advantage. Iling-Junior equalized.

When it seemed the guests' attempts to secure a victory would be in vain, Vlahović's precise header in stoppage time handed Allegri's team the crucial three points.

Juventus is second, trailing Inter by two points. Salernitana remains at the bottom of the Serie A standings.
