Juventus beat Sampdoria 4-1 in a match valid for the round of 16 in Italian Cup. Now the bianconeri are waiting for the winner of Sassuolo-Cagliari, on the pitch on Wednesday at 17.30. Allegri’s team returns to the field at the Stadium three days after the victory against Udinese signed by Dybala (with a lot of controversy towards the management) and McKennie: today both on the bench.
In addition to the suspended De Ligt and Kean, Bonucci, Ramsey, Chiesa and Bernardeschi were absent. After the last home defeat against Torino in the league, the Sampdoria have coach D’Aversa exonerated and are ready to announce the return of Giampaolo, but today Tufano is on the bench. In addition to the suspended Chabot, Audero, Colley, Yoshida, Ekdal, Damsgaard, Verre, Ihattaren and Quagliarella are also unavailable.
Cuadrado broke the deadlock directly on a free kick and serves the doubling ball to Morata. The Spanish striker makes no mistake, but the referee Fourneau (recalled by Var Nasca) goes to review the images on the sidelines and cancels the goal for a foul by Rabiot on Rincon. The bianconero doubling comes in the second half and bears the signature of Rugani, with the header.
Danilo and Kulusevski give way to Chiellini and Dybala, entered to the applause of the home crowd. Immediately after he reopens the game Conti, arrived from Milan in this winter transfer market. Triple change for Sampdoria: Candreva, Vieira and Gabbiadini take the place of Conti, Thorsby and Torregrossa. Locatelli steals the ball and produces an assist for Dybala, who scores 3-1 and exults. Then the Argentine leaves the penalty (whistled for a foul by Augello on the newly entered Aké) of poker in Morata.
On Sunday, Sampdoria is busy on the La Spezia field, while Juventus plays at San Siro against Milan.
