For the first time since February and after many notable performances for the youth team, Vasilije Adžić returned to the Juventus squad. However, our player could only watch his teammates suffer a heavy defeat against Parma at the "Tardinia" (1:0).
It was Igor Tudor's first failure on the Bianconeri bench, after recording two wins and a draw in the previous three rounds, but also a defeat that could ultimately cost Juventus a place in the Champions League.
The goal that left Juve in fifth place in Serie A and a point behind fourth-placed Bologna was scored by Mateo Pellegrino with a header at the end of the first half, thus simultaneously giving Cristian Chivo's team a super important triumph to escape the danger zone.
To make things more difficult for the Turin giants, during today's Serie A schedule (due to the death of Pope Francis, round 33 was not completed on Monday), Lazio also celebrated, thus equaling Tudor's team in terms of points.
The "Biancocelesti" were better than Genoa away, and their job was made easier from the 22nd minute after home defender Sebastian Otto received a red card.
Just ten minutes later, Tati Kasteljanos opened the scoring for Genoa, and Bulaj Dia set the final score in the second half. Our Adam Marišić played the entire match for the "Ferraris".
Fiorentina and Torino achieved victories in postponed matches - "Viola" was better away from Cagliari (2:1), and "Torino" was better at home against Udinese (2:0).
