A match decided by two players dueling neck to neck for their respective teams.  Paulo Dybala and Cheick Diabaté scoring 2 goals each to push their teams.

It is Juventus to open the score in the 16th minute. Argentinean forward Paulo Dybala defeating Benevento goalkeeper Christian Puggioni with a left footed shot in the top left corner. The assist is by Colombian midfielder Juan Cuadrado.

Juventus taking the lead again in the 45th minute before ending the first half. The verdugo is again Paulo Dybala converting a penalty with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner. The penalty is conceded by Berat Djimsiti after a foul on Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic inside the penalty area. It’s a special goal for Dyala because it is his 50th goal in Serie A.


Say what! A brave Beneveto dueling like the giants and equalize for the 2-2. It is a highly motivated Cheick Diabaté scoring again this time with a headed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Nicolas Viola with a cross following a corner conceded by Daniele Rugani.

Juventus taking the lead again thanks to the penalty converted by Paulo Dyabla. The penalty is conceded by Nicolas Viola after a foul on Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuaín. Dybala converts the penalty with a left footed shot in the bottom left corner fooling goalkeeper Puggioni going to the wrong way.

A cold shower for Benevento. Juvento scoring the fourth goal of the match and it is Douglas Costa to secure the victory.Costa defeating goalkeeper Puggioni with a left footed shot inthe top left corner. The assist is by Gonzalo Higuaín.
