Two bankruptcies for Turin
Ribéry's Florentines disenchant Juventus

Bitter day for the "old lady": Juventus Turin not only conceded the first bankruptcy in Serie A after six wins and six draws, but also lost at the green table. The highest sports court gives an objection reached by the SSC Napoli, so the duel of both teams is "repeated".

The Italian soccer record champions Juventus Turin have lost for the first time on the pitch in the current Serie A season after a defeat at the Green Table. Against Fiorentina, the series champion around Cristiano Ronaldo lost 3-0 (0-1) at home against Fiorentina with former Bayern professional Franck Ribéry.

The French prepared Dusan Vlahovic's opening goal in the third minute with a fine pass. As early as the 18th minute, Juve had to play a minority against the Colombian Juan Cuadrado after a red card. An own goal by Alex Sandro (76th) and Martin Caceres (81st) ensured the success of Florence. Juventus lost further important points on leaders AC Milan.

Previously, three points originally awarded to the Turiners had been revoked. Because the SSC Napoli had been put into corona quarantine by the local health authorities at the beginning of October and therefore could not travel to the top game in Turin, the FIGC association had rated the game 3-0 for Juve. Napoli was also punished with a minus point in the table. A court of the National Olympic Committee CONI has now revised the judgment.

As has now become known, the game must be made up. We are talking about an appointment in mid-January. Because Juventus' three points and the 3-0 goals in the goal difference were deleted again and Naples got a counter, this had an impact on the table. Napoli temporarily climbed to third place, while Juve slipped to fourth place.
