Juventus edge past Bavoua in tight contest
Juventus claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Bavoua in the third round of the 1. Лига Промоушн on August 19th. The result keeps the home side rooted in the lower reaches of the table, while the away team holds on to 14th place.
By then, the match had settled into a pattern neither side could quite break. Juventus came into the fixture with just one win from five games, sitting on three points at the bottom. Bavoua had managed slightly better with five points from their own five outings.
The visitors arrived with mixed recent form. They had bounced back from a heavy 0-7 defeat to Servette with a draw against Zurich II, then followed that with a convincing 2-0 win over Bellinzona. But the result against Juventus proved just as tight as their 2-2 stalemate earlier in August.
For Juventus, this was a welcome return to results after a string of setbacks. Their previous three outings had all ended in defeat, including that painful 1-6 loss to Rapperswil. The 1-0 win over Lugano II in mid-July had been their only bright spot before this match.
The table does not shift dramatically from this result. Juventus remain in 17th place with three points, while Bavoua hold fourth position with five points. Neither side has gained ground over their immediate rivals.
