Serie A: Juventus Title Hopes Dashed By Benevento Defeat.

    Serie A: Juventus Title Hopes Dashed By Benevento Defeat. By Admin Juventus’s hopes of winning a 10th consecutive Serie A title took a major blow on Sunday with a 1-0 defeat against lowly Benevento. Argentine forward Adolfo Gaich scored the only goal after 69 minutes following a bad backpass from Juventus midfielder Arthur. Andrea Pirlo’s side stay third, 10 points behind leaders Inter Milan whose match against Sassuolo was postponed because of a Covid outbreak among the league leaders. It was the fourth league defeat for Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus, who have 11 games left to play this season. Milan kept alive their faint hopes of Serie A title glory as Hakan Calhanoglu's fine strike sealed a pulsating 3-2 win over Fiorentina. Zlatan Ibrahimovic had put them ahead after nine minutes to become the oldest player to reach 15 goals in a single Serie A season, aged 39 years and 169 days, but Erick Pulgar restored parity soon after. Fiorentina took the lead shortly after the break thanks to a cool finish from Franck Ribery, yet Milan powered back thanks to Brahim Diaz and Calhanoglu's winner 18 minutes from full-time. The result means Milan move to within six points of leaders Inter, whose game against Sassuolo this weekend was called off after a COVID-19 outbreak at the club.
