Tre Penne secured a 2-0 victory over Juventus/Dogana in the fourth round of the Italian Championship on Saturday. The hosts moved clear with two goals, one from R. Pieri in the fourteenth minute and another late on when the visitors were reduced to ten men. The result leaves Tre Penne top of the table on twelve points from four matches, while Juventus/Dogana drop further into the lower half with just three points.
R. Pieri opened the scoring early, finishing a move that caught the visitors on the back foot. Tre Penne controlled the tempo without dominating possession, sitting on 51 percent against 49. The home side pressed forward with purpose, registering seven shots on target to Juventus/Dogana's five, though only one found the net. The visitors struggled to find rhythm and never got going in the second half.
The turning point came in the eighty-seventh minute when a Juventus/Dogana player received a red card, leaving them with nine men. By then the home side had already built a comfortable cushion, but the dismissal made the final minutes tense. Tre Penne added a second goal in the eighty-eighth, capitalising on the numerical advantage and ending a barren spell in front of goal.
Statistics tell a story of efficiency rather than dominance. Tre Penne registered 62 attacks compared to 64 for the visitors, but converted their chances more effectively. Juventus/Dogana had more corners and throw-ins, but found no answer when the game opened up. Both sides committed four offside infringements and exchanged nineteen free kicks each, suggesting a physical contest throughout.
The result extends Tre Penne's perfect start to the season, following victories over Kailuongo, Cosmos, San Giovanni and Domagnano in previous rounds. Juventus/Dogana's form has deteriorated sharply, with defeats to Folgore, Tre Penne and Libertas in their last three outings. The gap between the two sides in the table now stands at nine points, and neither team can afford another slip if they want to stay in contention.
