Friendly: Hamburg hit Juve
Sunday 3 August, 2008
Juventus saw two players stretchered off and a goal disallowed in their 3-0 Emirates Cup defeat to Hamburg in the Emirates Cup.
Claudio Ranieri changed the entire starting XI that had beaten Arsenal 1-0 yesterday, testing the new front pairing of Amauri and Alessandro Del Piero. Hamburg had lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in stoppages, but made relatively few adjustments.
The Germans dominated the first half and Antonio Chimenti seemed less than reliable, confirming Juve’s intention to buy another goalkeeper this summer. He struggled with Jarolim and Trochowski efforts before he hesitated, allowing Paulo Guerrero to sweep home Boateng’s ball over the top.
Zidan and Jarolim wasted more chances before the break and Ranieri made changes with Zdenek Grygera, Cristian Molinaro, Marco Marchionni and Giorgio Chiellini coming off the bench. Only one of those substitutions was forced, as Dario Knezevic was stretchered off.
Salihamidzic’s dismal first touch let him down when sent clear on goal by Alessandro Del Piero and moments later Hamburg threatened a second as Olic skimmed the woodwork. As in the Arsenal game, Juve stepped up the pace in the second half and finally tested Rost with a fierce Amauri header that was palmed away by the goalkeeper.
Vincenzo Iaquinta nearly scored with his first touch, as he sprung the offside trap and Rost came tearing out to block, Amauri’s follow-up cleared off the line. Iaquinta then set up a chance that Marchionni saw saved by Rost’s fingertips.
Camoranesi did hit the back of the net on 79 minutes, but it was incorrectly disallowed for an offside position, as the World Cup winner was level.
Chiellini managed the curious achievement of taking his own teammate out of the game, as his sliding tackle brought down both Molinaro and Zidan, forcing the Juve man off on a stretcher.
Chimenti made up for his earlier error by parrying Aogo’s strike, but could do little on Olic's stoppage-time counter-attack. Moments later Del Piero incredibly gave the ball away from the kick-off and allowed Olic a second, smashed under the bar.
