VENICE, Feb 7: Dušan Vlahović made a dream debut for Juventus, scoring the opening goal in a 2-0 win over Verona in the Italian league on Sunday.
The coveted striker completed a 70-million-euro transfer from Fiorentina on Jan. 28 on his 22nd birthday. He now wears the No. 7 shirt vacated by Ronaldo.
Vlahović, a Serbia international, scored with a clinical finish, lobbing onrushing Verona goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo in the 13th minute.
Another new signing for Juventus, Switzerland midfielder Denis Zakaria, who joined from Borussia Mönchengladbach, doubled the lead with a low shot past Montipo in the second half.
Juventus moved to fourth with 45 points.
Also, Napoli beat Venezia 2-0. The 23-year-old Osimhen, who suffered a serious injury in a clash of heads with Inter’s Milan Skriniar in November, headed in the opener in the 58th minute.
Defender Tyronne Ebuehi received a straight red card following a VAR review for a high tackle on Dries Mertens five minutes into stoppage time before substitute Andrea Petagna made it 2-0 five minutes later. (AP)
