ROME, Oct. 28 (silubaba) -- Starlet Andrea Cambiaso made the most of his appearance as his last-gasp winner helped Juventus beat Hellas Verona 1-0 at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, sending the Bianconeri to the top of the table provisionally.
Juventus were brimming with confidence as they dominated AC Milan 1-0 in the last round and had Dusan Vlahovic back into the starting line-up, while Federico Chiesa started the game from the bench.
The home side was utterly dominant, and Moise Kean had found the back of the net in the 13th minute with a spectacular move, but it was wiped out as the Italian international wandered slightly offside in the build-up.
Kean kept dangerous by creating a couple of chances and thought he broke the deadlock in the 54th minute with a twisting header, however, it was disallowed again by VAR as he had a foul at the start of the move.
As the game seemed to be finished with a goalless tie, Cambiaso who came off the bench in the 62nd minute jumped at the chance in the dying minutes when Arkadiusz Milik's header smacked the woodwork, and the 23-year-old was alert to poke it in from a close range. It was his first goal in Juve jersey.
With the hard-fought victory, Juve rank top with 23 points, one point ahead of Inter Milan who host Roma on Sunday.
Also on Saturday, Torino beat Lecce 1-0, and Sassuolo shared the spoils with Bologna at 1-1. ■
