Primavera Coppa Italia final first leg: Juventus 1-1 Napoli

go to the San Paolo with a slender advantage after securing a 1-1 draw away to in the first leg of the Primavera Coppa Italia final.

They were perhaps slightly undeserving of the draw, secured through a Gennaro Tutino goal after had given the Bianconeri the lead.

Gerbaudo caught the Partenopei defence napping after just a minute by finding space behind them but could only angle his drive wide of the upright.

Not long afterwards, the exciting and on-form fired an angled drive towards goal which clipped the post as ’s men continued to look dangerous.

Two minutes after the start of the second half, Juventus got the goal that their performance merited when Gerbaudo freed himself of his marker to head home a free-kick.

However, midway through the half, the Vesuviani got the goal that gives them the advantage ahead of the second leg with a superb strike, Tutino picking the ball up at the back post, skipping past a challenge and firing home from an almost impossible angle.

- I have been a huge fan of Italian football since being bought Dejan Savicevic jersey on holiday as very young kid and been hooked ever since. My favourite players to have played in the Italian game are Francesco Totti (my absolute hero) and Filippo Inzaghi. I am currently studying for a degree in sports journalism.
