Juventus, despite their fifteen-point penalty, continued their rise in Serie A on Saturday by returning to just four points from 4th place by beating Hellas Verona (1-0), thanks to revenge Moise Kean.
Suspended in the last two matches after being sent off for a gesture of humor against AS Roma (1-0), the 23-year-old Italian striker unlocked the match by taking advantage of a nice service from Manuel Locatelli (55th ).
Sent back to the soft underbelly of the ranking in January by a penalty of fifteen points for alleged accounting fraud, the Old Lady continues her recovery: seventh, she is only four points behind AC Milan (4th), on the move Sunday evening at the leader Naples in the shock of the 28th day.
Juve therefore maintains its chances, originally deemed minimal, of competing in the Champions League next season, a goal it can also achieve in the event of success in the Europa League, in which it plays the quarter-finals.
Diminished by major absences (Pogba, Chiesa, Bonucci injured, Rabiot and Paredes suspended), the Bianconeri trembled at the start of the game, on a volley close to Fabio Depaoli (15th). This same Depaoli then saved Hellas by deflecting from the back on the post a free kick from Danilo (37th).
Juve started the second act better by opening the scoring by Kean after a nice collective movement. A sufficient goal to win, despite a few final scares at the end of the match and a decisive save from Wojciech Szczesny (83rd).
