After losing 1-0 to Parma, one of four matches rescheduled from Monday following the death of Pope Francis, Juventus regained control of the Champions League on Wednesday.
Parma’s precious victory in their quest for top flight survival was marred by Mateo Pellegrino’s thumping header just before half-time, causing Juve’s Champions League hopes to suffer.
Juve are now fifth place in Igor Tudor’s coaching career, one point behind Bologna, who defeated Inter Milan on Sunday to move up to fifth place.
Dusan Vlahovic, who was reportedly substituted at half-time for a thigh injury, will have to play against Monza on Sunday.
Following their first victory in two months, which came after six straight draws, Parma moved six points clear of the relegation zone.
After a comfortable 2-0 victory at Genoa, the match ended with both teams down 10 men, Lazio moved on to the “Old Lady” of Italian football with a victory.
The away side won the points thanks to Boulaye Dia’s strike in the second half and Sebastian Otoa’s dismissal 21 minutes into his Serie A debut.
After Nicolo Ravella’s excellent pass to Reda Belahyane, who had set up Dia’s goal with a pass, it was pointless that Reda Belahyane was replaced for Lazio for the final whistle.
