Giovinco Enjoys Scoring In Front Of Juventus Fans

Juventus youngster Sebastian Giovinco starred in Juventus' 3-0 victory over Catania in the Coppa Italia and enjoyed every minute of it...

It was an evening to remember for 21-year-old Sebastian Giovinco, as he was one of the protagonists in the Bianconeri's 3-0 over Catania in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday.

The 'Atomic Ant' is tipped to be one of Italy's great players and certainly put in a dazzling performance against the Sicilians.

He scored his first official goal at the Stadio Olimpico in front of the home fans with a fine lob over Catania goalkeeper Albano Bizarri.

"I've dreamed of something like this since childhood," the Turin-born player told Juventus Channel following the match. "Today, I can't be anything but happy."

Giovinco was pleased with today's performance, but insists the Bianconeri must play in a similar manner in Serie A if they want to catch the league-leaders Inter.

"At one point, the match today seemed like the ones we have experienced in the league," considered the former Empoli player. "We both created alot and made alot of mistakes, but this time we managed to close off the match."

Juventus will be looking for all three points when they take on Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening, Giovinco is expected to be back on the bench for that encounter.
