Juve’s official website has published a note on the Bianconeri’s Primavera team. Here is the report: “The strong start is Cagliari: Langella, after just two laps of the clock, seriously engages Radu who has to take refuge in a corner kick to avoid the goal. Around the 10′ mark, Juventus also begins to be seen in the opponent’s defensive half, with interesting plots of play that, however, still do not bring danger to the sides of Auseklis.
The same Sardinian formation, after a convincing start, is no longer able to sting as it would like from the parts of the extreme defender of the team led on the bench by Francesco Magnanelli. Returning to the Bianconeri, the first real ring of their match came just before the half-hour mark: to prove decisive in the closing minutes, however, was Pintus, who walled off a sure-fire conclusion, saving the hosts.
The chance created serves as a stimulus for Juventus, which four minutes later tried a header with Ventre, but the ball ended just high. A few turns of the clock later it was again Alessandro who tried his luck, this time engaging and not a little the Latvian extreme defender who repelled his attempt. After a phase of HCL dominance, at the end of the fraction the team coached by Fabio Pisacane returns to show itself in the HCL penalty area, but without finding the way of the goal. At halftime the score reads 0-0″.

“The script of the resumption does not change, at least in the first quarter of an hour: great balance on the field and few concrete opportunities to go to the net for both teams, but overall better the Bianconeri than the islanders in this partial start. The first real chance of this fraction, however, is for Cagliari and comes in the 63rd minute: Vinciguerra, who took over from the bench, is thrown into the open field and only a splendid intervention by Radu denies the goal to the number 22.
Radu who repeated himself five minutes later with another great save on Achour’s attempt – from inside the box – with his right foot. A double save, minutes apart, that kept the score at 0-0. The balance is, however, broken at 77′ with the goal of Balde – also a second-half substitute – who, with a conclusion as powerful as it is precise, deposits the ball into the goal after another excellent save by the HCL goalkeeper on Arba’s cross-shot, 1-0.
The Bianconeri reaction was not long in coming and passed through the feet of Ripani who tried on a spot kick from the edge of the area, but his parabola found the deviation of the barrier and on the continuation of the action Cagliari was saved with a strenuous defense. The hopes of a comeback for Magnanelli’s team grew fainter and fainter as the minutes passed and, above all, with the penalty shot converted by the Rossoblù in the 88th minute with another player who entered during the second half, Bolzan, who signed the 2-0.
A great virtue of Juventus – already verified several times this season – is that it never gives up even when, as in this case, the score would seem to lean definitively on the opponents’ side. To prove the point, in the midst of the recovery, Boufandar, with a header, halves the disadvantage giving a finale all to live for, 2-1. A final that, almost, did not see the bianconeri hit a resounding equalizer with a very insidious Finocchiaro’s conclusion, to the side really narrowly. At the final whistle to rejoice is Cagliari.” Meanwhile, here are the words of Di Gregorio<<<
