Juventus secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Genoa, with Kenan Yildiz’s goal proving decisive. Here are the player ratings from the match:
Di Gregorio – 6A mixed performance from the goalkeeper. While he showed moments of composure, particularly when coming off his line, his distribution under pressure was shaky at times.
Gatti – 6.oSolid and reliable until forced off due to injury after a vital defensive intervention. His absence was felt, but his contribution before exiting was commendable.
Veiga – 6.5Positioned well during build-up play and brought a touch of creativity to Juventus’ midfield. His presence helped maintain control in key moments.
Kelly – 5.5An inconsistent display. While he made a crucial goal-saving intervention, his errors in decision-making occasionally put the team in jeopardy.
Gonzalez – 6.0A tale of two halves for the winger. He was dynamic and threatening in the first half but faded physically after the break.
Locatelli – 7.0A midfield rock who consistently broke up Genoa’s attacks and shielded the defence effectively. His positioning was key during tense moments.
Thuram – 6.5Started quietly but grew into the game with decisive contributions in the second half. His ability to drive forward added much-needed momentum.
McKennie – 6Worked tirelessly in a sacrificial role but lacked creativity and flair in attack.
Koopmeiners – 5Struggled throughout, failing to impose himself on the game. His substitution reflected his disappointing performance.
Yildiz – 7.5The star of the show. His goal was a moment of brilliance, showcasing his technical skill and composure under pressure.
Vlahovic – 5As usual, he worked hard but he failed to make a significant impact offensively.
