Di Gregorio’s Penalty Double Save Seals Juventus’ 2-0 Win After Perin Calf Scare
The rescue stop tightened Juventus’ race for fourth place.
Overview
- Juventus, which beat Genoa 2-0 on Monday, brought Michele Di Gregorio on at half-time after starter Mattia Perin felt a calf twinge, according to Sky Sport Italia.
- Di Gregorio denied Aaron Martin from the spot with a rapid double stop that kept the two-goal cushion intact and secured the points.
- Third-choice keeper Carlo Pinsoglio sprinted over with a note on Genoa penalty tendencies, reported by DAZN, and the guidance matched Martin’s favored side.
- Teammates praised Di Gregorio’s response under pressure after recent weeks on the bench, with Gleison Bremer and Andrea Cambiaso calling his display decisive.
- The victory left Juventus one point off Serie A’s top four, and Italian reports now suggest the club could still consider a summer sale of Di Gregorio despite the boost.
