Juventus Player Ratings vs Genoa: 8/10 Dybala the standout; Ronaldo among five to get 7
Betting Analysis
Paulo Dybala was impressive while Cristiano Ronaldo delivered late on as Juventus beat Genoa 3-1 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium on Sunday.
The first half was a largely drab affair, with chances flowing few and far between, even as Juventus dominated the proceedings. The
Bianconeri started piling on the pressure post the interval and were ahead just 12 minutes into the second period when Paulo Dybala produced a fine finish to make it 1-0.
Shortly after, though, Genoa restored parity through former Juventus man Stefano Sturaro, who converted Luca Pellegrini’s deep cross from close range. Thereafter, the visitors intently pushed forward in search of their second but were constantly denied by an inspired Mattia Perin and a couple of offside calls.
