"Juventus" goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon did not spare compliments for Andrea Pirlo, who scored a goal of rare beauty and secured a victory for the team. On Sunday, the Italian champions defeated "Genoa" 1-0 after a fierce battle on their home turf. The veteran contributed to the victory by blocking several dangerous shots from afar and a penalty shot from 11 meters, but the highlight of the match was an incredible penalty kick by A. Pirlo. "Victory brings even more joy, as we were considered equals," admitted "Juventus" captain. – Pirlo with the ball is a constant threat to opponents even when he stands in my penalty area. He is one of those who can determine the outcome of the match. "We hope to take pride not only in ourselves, but also in the fans, who had the opportunity to witness our endurance under immense pressure. We have taken another step towards the podium of the Italian championship." Sunday evening marked Buffon's 476th match for "Juventus" – the same number played by the legendary Italian goalkeeper Dino Zoff. "This number makes you think about all the sweat shed, but I don't feel worthy of comparison with Zoff," humbly said the goalkeeper.
