At dawn on Sunday, the Serie A matchup ushered in a key matchup. Juventus won 1-0 at home against their city rivals Roma with a fatal strike from midfielder Rabiot, narrowing the points gap to only 2 points from Inter Milan and signaling the beginning of the revival of the "Zebra Dynasty".
In the first half, both sides showed fierce competition. Roma midfielder Bryan Kistandi was unlucky as his shot bounced off the opposing post, while Juventus striker Dusin Warholovic also had a chance to shoot in front of the goal, but it was valiantly parried by keeper Raul Berdisio. Just two minutes later, Dusin Warholovic sent in a fine assist, which was followed up by Rabiot, who calmly slotted the ball into the empty net. Juventus had a chance to add to their lead when Federico Goggio Aicha's shot hit the net but was ruled out for offside and the goal was disallowed, but this mistake did not affect the team's chances of getting the three points.
This season, although Juventus is not in the European competition, but will put all their energy into the domestic league, play steadily, the last 13 Serie A matches achieved 10 wins and 3 draws, including many small scores of victory, and regained the old style of composure, and the champion of the more and more obvious. Next up, Juventus will face Inter Milan on the road in early February, which will be a key battle between the two sides for the title this season.
