#4 Igor Julio played poorly for SPAL

The 21-year-old youngster did not have a good day within SPAL's defensive line of three players. While other center-backs managed to make clearances and tackles to help the team hold back the force of the Juventus attack, Julio barely did much.

He made no tackles, made no interceptions, and was the only center-back not to block a shot. Asides these, he was also the only center-back to pick up a yellow card. He also was unable to win a single aerial challenge.

His passing, however, was reasonable. He made a few accurate long passes, and kept a passing accuracy of 83%.


#3 Paulo Dybala played impressively for Juventus

It was Dybala's accurate left-footed cross that found Cristiano Ronaldo on the far post and assisted the Bianconeri's second goal. While he was unable to get on the scoresheet himself, Dybala was certainly a thorn in the Biancazzuri's defense.

He took six shots at goal, made two key passes, made three dribbles, and was fouled twice. He also managed a passing accuracy of 86%, much better than Ronaldo's 74%.

The 25-year-old will be glad to have improved under the tutelage of Maurizio Sarri. Last year, under Massimiliano Allegri, Dybala looked like he might be on the brink of an exit from Turin. However, his fortunes may have just begun to turn for the better.
