Paris Saint-Germain 2-3 Juventus
PSG and Juventus’ football betting fans were expecting fireworks when the two European giants kicked it off in warm Miami Gardens. The crowd was not disappointed as these squads showed the crowd how football games should be played.
The two strong sides were even in the game’s starting minutes, as many betting websites predicted. Unai Emery and Massimiliano Allegri both fielded attack-heavy formations to poke holes in their opponents’ defence. It wasn’t until past the 30-minute mark that both teams looked dangerous in front of goal.
Gonzalo Higuain finally broke the deadlock just before the half-time break. He made a one-two pass with Paulo Dybala that allowed him to get into the penalty box and score the first goal for the Old Lady.
The Parisiens were able to counter early in the second half: a run by Layvin Kurzawa from the left opened up Angel Di Maria to make a precise pass for an easy Goncalo Guedes finish.
Kurzawa was PSG’s man for the good and the bad of the second half. His poor pass to Moise Kean resulted in a quick counter that ended in a quick goal for Claudio Marchisio in the 62nd minute. He was able to redeem himself 18 minutes later, managing to contain a ball going out of bounds and crossing it in for a Javier Pastore equaliser.
The game looked prime for penalties by the 87th minute, but a poor challenge by Presnel Kimpembe on Kane inside the penalty box urged Ted Unkel to award a penalty for the Bianconeri. Marchisio didn’t let the chance go and ended the beat Remy Descamps on the spot kick.
Emery and Allegri found further points of improvement for their squads as they prepare for a new season. Meanwhile, America’s passionate football fans were more than delighted to see a competitive and high-scoring affair between two top clubs in American soil.
Fans will surely be keeping tabs of these two teams once football season returns.
