STADIO MARC’ANTONIO BENTEGODI (Verona) – A late storm had to be weathered, but Hellas Verona clung on to claim a memorable 2-1 win over Juventus in Serie A on Saturday evening.
Giovanni Simeone was at it again to fire Verona to another big win, this time over Juventus, and we had @ConJClancy there for #FIFattheGames. #VeronaJuventus #SerieA pic.twitter.com/IdFoWSQ9J9

Following on from his four goals in last weekend’s 4-1 thumping of Lazio, Giovanni Simeone picked up where he had left off at the Bentegodi, netting twice inside the opening 15 minutes to give the Mastini a comfortable lead.
Juventus were a long way from the standards Massimiliano Allegri would have no doubt demanded, and were unable to complete a comeback despite a late push and a second-half goal from substitute Weston McKennie.
