Cesena V Juventus

What a time to score your first goal...Marco Borriello did leave it late as Juve came through this game as eventual winners, and was there any doubt?? Juve had over 70% possession, but as Barcelona are painfully aware off, having the ball isn't everything unless you can do something productive with it. The Old Lady clearly showed her strength with 26 shot with 7 on goal, forcing Francesco Antonioli to make 6 fine saves. Cecena on the other hand had 9 shots but none were on goal and Gianluigi Buffon was never really called into action. The "Seahorses" showed there lack of quality upfront especially with Adrian Mutu and Vincenza Iaquinta out- both of who were ex Juve and maybe would have cherished the opportunity to settle old scores. Juve have to look back on this game and wonder why it was just 1-0? Against a better team they would have had more of a fight on their hands, and they would have had to put away more chances than one mere goal because at 1-0, anything can happen.
It looked as though this game was doomed to be yet anouther draw, with Andrea Pirlo missing the early spot kick an Paolo De Ceglie also hitting the woodwork, yet the goal came very late on in the second half when Borriello came on in place of another miss- firing striker, Allesandro Matri and scored in the 79th minute to condemn Cesena to Serie B next season.
This Juventus side has shown more focus and determination in attack but also Antonio Conte has made sure that Juve defend, and whenever they do lose the ball they are always pressing the opposition and finding some way to get it back,I have to admit they still can be a little rash in their tackles and let frustrations boil over...but overtime this will go, and the fans must realise that Juve have been on an amazing run, but can they do it a second season with the added pressure of European football... now that's a different thing.

Juve remain 3 points ahead of Milan thanks to their late winner against Genoa, But like Conte said, " the Scudetto is in their hands".
