Juventus enjoyed a comfortable victory over Como in their debut in the Serie A that can be watched live on the Disney+ screen, as well as the debut of their new coach: Thiago Motta.
Como, with Cesc Fàbregas, paid the ‘tax of entry’ as a newly promoted team with a tough visit: Juventus. Thiago Motta’s team showcased their football at home and managed to leave for halftime with the match practically secured.
Samuel Mbangula, making his debut for Juventus at 20 years old, made a good first impression: a personal diagonal play to seal the 1-0 in the 23rd minute of the first half.
20 minutes later, Timothy Weah felt discomfort near the end of the first act. However, Thiago Motta decided to keep him on the field until halftime, and it worked perfectly. The American stayed on the field and in the first minute added to stoppage time sealed the 2-0 with a shot that hit the crossbar and went in.
Weah eventually confirmed that he scored while injured but did not return for the second half, although Juventus’s lead continued to define the victory. Como held on for as long as they could, but in the 91st minute received the final blow with a goal from Andrea Cambiaso. 3-0.
Como, with Cesc Fàbregas, paid the price of reaching Serie A and Juventus fulfilled expectations: a clear victory in their home debut. Thiago Motta left happy to have his first experience as a Juventus coach with a resounding victory and an unbeaten defense.
