Juve-Verona: dream debuts for Vlahovic and Zakaria

Juventus have won their first game after the winter break 2-0 against Hellas Verona. Both Dusan Vlahovic and Denis Zakaria found the net in their first game for the Bianconeri.

The Serbian striker showed himself after only a few minutes. Juve had a great counter, with a backheel pass from Dybala in the build-up, and Vlahovic gave it a try from outside the box, forcing Montipo into a save. After only 13 minutes in the black and white shirt, Vlahovic scored his first goal. Dybala found him with a through ball and Vlahovic flicked it over Montipo, thus scoring on his debut.

Weston McKennie is a doubt for the game, as his flight to Italy has been cancelled. The American was on international duty and expected to return to Turin on Friday. Manuel Locatelli i...
