Juventus 3-0 Sassuolo: Angel Di Maria scores on his Serie A debut ... (Eurosport.com)

An Angel Di Maria debut goal and a Dusan Vlahovic brace helped Juventus beat Sassuolo 3-0 in their Serie A opener.

The Argentine put in one of those displays that got the crowd off of their feet and oozed quality every time he got on the ball. He made no mistake from the spot, and fired his spot kick straight down the middle to double Juventus’ lead. He then finds Vlahovic, who makes no mistake from close-range.

Juventus 3 - Sassuolo 0: Initial reaction and random observations (Black & White & Read All Over)

Well, that season opener was sure as hell a lot better than what we saw from Juve last year.

- Danilo celebrated a clearance that went out for a corner in the second half like Giorgio Chiellini used to do all the time. But with the mid-August heat and it being the first game of the season and match fitness maybe not at peak levels just yet, Allegri got the chance to throw some kids on — and that was cool. - Kostic came on with 30 minutes to go and he fired in five crosses in that small period of time. And, of course, there was the fact that Sassuolo was in control of a good chunk of the first half. Anybody who’s familiar with him knows that he’s got that grinta in him, and he’s going to be a nice addition once he becomes a regular contributor. Dude is so good in the air, and can just body attackers off the ball with what seems like not much effort at all because he’s so strong. - It took Juventus four games to get more than one point last season. So while this is one game and certainly only going to tell a fraction of the 2022-23 season, it’s a good start in the overall scope of it. - Dusan Vlahovic had all of eight first-half touches, yet scored one goal, drew the penalty that led to said goal and could have had a couple of other ones. - Perin finished with seven saves, most of which were routine in the second half. Imagine if he was even just a little bit more involved in things. Out went the 4-4-1-1-ish type of formation Allegri was using.
