La Vecchia Signora were desperate to win the game against traditional rivals, Fiorentina, after drawing two consecutive games against Chievo Verona and Genoa respectively. The Turin giants believed that they deserved to win these two games as they gave their
best on the field and were unfortunate not to find a winning goal.
However, ready to face the Viola, the Lady Killers were keen to find winning ways in order to regain the top spot they had lost to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-Bonucci-c22064 opened the scoring early in the game and gave Juve a head start
netting the ball in the 13th minute.
Juve kept their lead through the first half and it was 12 minutes into the 2nd half, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stevan-Jovetic-c34163 scored the equalizer for Fiorentina.
However, the brace scorer in the game against Genoa, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-c4710 Matri, once again came to the rescue of Juve and put the Turin giants back in the lead in the 65th minute. Matri’s strike proved crucial and was the winner for the Bianconeri.

Now Juve are facing two big challenges ahead as they have the toughest two away games of the season. The first tough game will be against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan at San Siro on October 29.

back-to-back victories recently. Next up Juve are going to Naples to take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 who are reckoned to be strong contenders for the Scudetto.
Juve are looking forward to make a concrete Scudetto bid this season. However, the coach recently revealed that the primary objective of the team this season is to regain its credibility.
