Ronaldo's muscle strain and having to miss the competition forced Coach Sarri to apply the 4-3-1-2 formation instead of his favorite 4-3-3. The two attack spearheads of the "Old Da Nang" in the match against Brescia in round 5 of Serie A are Higuain and Dybala. Meanwhile, new signing Ramsey will play as a number 10.
Although rated higher than Brescia, Juventus did not start well. In the 3rd minute, a mistake by goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny helped Alfredo Donnarumma open the scoring for the home team after a long-range shot.
This opening goal helped Brescia play more confidently on the day they welcomed the return of striker Mario Balotelli after suspension. With a goal behind, Juventus flooded up to attack and regained control of the game.
However, with Brescia's counter-attacking defense and good pressing, the defending champions were stuck in approaching goalkeeper Jesse Joronen's goal.
When "The Old Lady" was playing at a dead end, luck smiled on them. In the 40th minute, Dybala took a corner kick for Juventus. This striker hung the ball to hit the ground unpleasantly, causing Jhon Chancellor to try to block and bring the ball into his own net to help the "Old Lady" equalize 1-1.
The second half of the match witnessed Juventus' dominance over Brescia. The visitors' strikers such as Higuain, Dybala and the midfielders competed to shoot down the home team's goal, but could not beat goalkeeper Jesse Joronen.
Like the first half, when Juventus had difficulty scoring, they were helped by the lucky god Pjanic. In the 63rd minute, the away team was awarded a direct free kick in front of the penalty area. Dybala hit the ball back into the fence before Miralem Pjanic quickly signed a low shot that defeated goalkeeper Jesse Joronen, raising the score to 2-1.
In the remaining time of the match, Brescia played very hard in the hope of finding an equalizer, but coach Eugenio Corini's team could not do what they wanted. In the end, Juventus won 2-1 against Brescia.
In contrast to defeating Brescia, Juventus has 13 points/5 matches, temporarily surpassing Inter Milan to take the top spot on the rankings with 1 more point, but playing 1 more match. Meanwhile, Brescia has 6 points, dropping to 11th place.
