Juventus does not go down.
They clearly beat
Genoa
3-1
in Turin
and are still on the hunt for
Inter
that earlier beat Cagliari 1-0.
In the absence of eight dates to go, the difference in favor of the Milanese continues to be 12 points (74-62).
With Paulo Dybala watching from the bench and a solid performance in all his lines, the Italian multi-champion had no problems to stay with the first half.
From the start and at 4 minutes, a center behind Cuadrado found
a categorical definition of the Swede Kulusevski to open the scoring.
The early advantage reassured the locals that with the good handling of Bentacur and the explosive arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo and
Morata
, he exposed the limitations of a Genoese team that did not stand up.
After 20 minutes, and in a fierce attack by Juventus, Chiesa had it, but a tumble by Perin drowned out his scream;
CR7 had it on the rebound, but the stick denied him the possibility;
and
Morata alone did not waste the third possibility to seal the 2-0.

From there and until the end of the first half, it was a Juventus monologue that attacked at will and had it not been for Perin's cover-ups, the result would have been much more bulky.
Only one for the Genoese who in the last minute
had a heads-up from Scamacca
with Szczesny,
but the Polish goalkeeper managed to cover the discount
.
At the start of the second half,
Scamacca had his revenge
and with an impeccable header, after a corner kick, put the score in suspense: 1-2.
Although for a few minutes the uncertainty remained, the process of the match did not change too much: Juventus continued to dominate at will and the visit bet on the occasional backlash.
At 22 minutes,
Paulo Dybala entered for Morata
and had action again after his return last Wednesday in the victory against Napoli.
And three minutes later, the other admitted,
Weston McKennie, scored the third goal for the local
, after taking advantage of a defensive inattention and a good definition against the desperate Perin.
With the victory,
Juventus continues in third place
in Serie A with 62 points, behind Inter (74) and Milan (63).
The fourth - with a ticket to the next Champions League - is
Napoli that this Sunday beat Sampdoria
2-0
as a visitor
(goals from Fabián Ruiz and Victor Osimhen).
In another of the matches on date 30, Hellas Verona: 0 - Lazio: 1 (goal by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic).
Later, Rome receives Bologna and Fiorentina will be local against Atalanta.
The thirtieth date will be completed this Monday with the clash between Benevento and Sassuolo.
