Juventus secured a comfortable 3-0 win over Schaffhausen in the sixth round of the 1. Liga Promooshn on Saturday. The result sees the visitors claim all three points away from home despite sitting 15th in the table, while the hosts remain in third place after the defeat.
It was Schaffhausen who took the lead through their own efforts, the ball finding the net off F. Schuler in the 37th minute. It was a fortunate break that kept the home side in it, but Juventus responded with purpose. R. Laski restored parity with a goal in the 62nd minute, and J. Teixeira sealed the victory shortly after, scoring in the 67th to put the result beyond doubt.
By then Juventus had already taken control of the affair. They worked the channels with more conviction than their opponents, and Schaffhausen never really got out of second gear after falling behind. The visitors held on grimly to protect their lead, weathered any late pressure and ran out comfortable winners.
On the table, the contrast between the sides was evident. Schaffhausen sit third after six games with 12 points from four wins, while Juventus languish in 15th with just six points from two victories. This result does little to help the visitors' position, but it adds pressure on the home side to maintain their push up the standings.
Schaffhausen's recent form had been mixed before this match, with a 1-3 loss to Zürich II on their last outing. Juventus came into the game off a 2-3 defeat to Basel II, so this result represents a step forward for them despite their lowly position. The scoreline and goal difference now stand at 0-3 to Juventus, and the visitors will be looking to build on this performance in the rounds ahead.
