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.
