Juventus Vs. Palermo, Serie A Round 11: Alessandro Matri Makes It 2-0 For Juve

The second half between Juventus and Palermo has kicked off with a bang -- a smart, snappy shot from Alessandro Matri, showing why he's the top scorer in bianconeri. Stephan Lichtsteiner sent the ball to Matri over on the right side, whose positioning was simply perfect. The shot was low, sliding under Alexandros Tzorvas and into the back of the net.

A tougher road for the rosanero now, but not an impossible one. For all the thrill in their attack, the Old Lady still have a bit of weakness at the back. Just a moment of mental weakness would allow the likes of Fabrizio Miccoli or Josep Ilicic to slip behind and put one past Gigi Buffon. Rather than concentrate on defending a two-goal lead, it might be wiser for Antonio Conte’s side simply to keep scoring as many goals as possible.

And if you’re not a Juventus sympathizer, at least it’s always fun to watch the numerous ways Mirko Vucinic can miss the goal.
