Summary and commentary from Salernitana-Turin, second match of 2023: Sanabria’s goal decides after the first half
For Davide Nicola’s match against Salernitana, Juric operates a slight turnover, in view of the Coppa Italia match against Milan. The defense changes, with only Schuurs confirmed and with Zima and Buongiorno on the pitch, the midfield changes, given that with Lukic there is Linetty and not Ricci. Vlasic and Radonjic confirmed on the trocar, Sanabria a reference in attack, with Miranchuk on the bench. A Taurus who is immediately aggressive. After only six minutes, from a corner, Buongiorno and Zima, a stone’s throw from goal, are unable to deflect the ball, thanks to the intervention of the Salernitana defence. Two minutes later he tries Zima from distance but Fazio deflects. Sixty seconds go by and Toro is still dangerous from a corner, again with Zima heading but finding Ochoa’s prompt intervention. In the 12th minute the goalkeeper is still the protagonist with a big parade this time on Sanabria. There is only one team on the field, that of Juric: in the 20th minute the Salernitana goalkeeper is forced out to prevent Vlasic to have the mirror available. In the half hour, Buongiorno’s header went off just a little. In the 32nd minute the guests’ biggest chance: Schuurs was very good at intervening on Dia just inside the penalty area, preventing the Campania player from shooting on goal. The game unlocks in the 36th minute: on Lazaro’s cross from the right, with a diving header Sanabria beats Ochoa, that this time nothing can. Schuurs post in the 42nd minute: again from a corner the Dutch defender headed the woodwork to Ochoa’s left. In the 45th minute we go to the break on 1-0: a result that is very close to the grenades.
