Juve misses chance to go 4 clear
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 02 - 2016

Juventus missed the chance to move four points clear in Serie A and will not be able to level the record of consecutive wins after it was held to a goalless draw at Bologna Friday.
Massimiliano Allegri's team beat Napoli last weekend to move top and was seeking a 16th consecutive win, which would have left it one behind Inter Milan's record set in 2006-07.
Victory would also have given Juventus a significant advantage ahead of Napoli's match against AC Milan Monday. Instead, Napoli can move a point ahead of Juventus with a win.
"We gave our all on the pitch, maybe with a few too many errors in the last ball," Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci said. "The season is long: we didn't win the title last week against Napoli and we haven't lost it now."
Bonucci insisted he and his teammates did not have one eye on Europe ahead of the resumption of the Champions League next week and Tuesday's visit of Bayern Munich.
"The title will be fought for right until the end," he added. "Now we have to focus on Tuesday, but we weren't distracted by the match against Bayern Munich, when you're playing for the title you never think about the next match."
Juventus did not have a single shot on target all match, for the first time since 2011.
Bologna had the best chance of the match in the 21st minute when Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon parried a Matteo Destro effort from long range and Godfred Donsah fired the rebound well wide of the left upright.
Levante blanks Getafe
Jose Morales scored one goal and set up two more as Levate beat Getafe 3-0 and provisionally rose out of last place in the Spanish league Friday.
Levante ended a three-game losing streak, moving one points above new bottom side Granada before it hosts Valencia Sunday.
Morales opened the scoring with an incisive run from the left flank, cutting inside past two defenders before rolling a shot into the far corner in the 10th minute at Ciutat de Valencia Stadium.
Morales set up Giuseppe Rossi to add a penalty two minutes before halftime after he was fouled by Santiago Vergini in the area.
Getafe's Alvaro Vazquez hit the post, and Levante goalkeeper Diego Marino had several saves before Morales passed for Joan Verdu to seal the points with nine minutes left.
Getafe's fifth consecutive loss left it in 13th place, at five points from the drop before the rest of the matches in round 25.
Frankfurt held at home
Eintracht Frankfurt did little to allay its Bundesliga relegation fears with a scoreless draw at home to Hamburger SV Friday.
Hamburg's Artjoms Rudnevs had the first big chance after combining with Aaron Hunt in the 25th minute, only for Frankfurt goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky to pull off a good save.
The visitors continued to take the initiative, defender Gotoku Sakai firing over before Nicolai Mueller wasted a great chance before the break. — Agencies
