Yerry Mina is charged with the huge mistake that cost Cagliari's fall in Italy: 'Disaster'

Juventus of Turin won this Sunday against Cagliari (0-1) thanks to the solitary goal of the Serbian Dusan Vlahovic, who took advantage of a huge error by the Colombian Yerry Mina in defense to score the only goal of the match.

Juventus had to face the always difficult Cagliari and coach Thiago Motta preferred to give Vlahovic a starting role ahead of Kolo Muani, who had been the coach's choice since his arrival in the winter. The choice worked because 'Juve' had a great first half, far superior to Cagliari and with a much higher level than that displayed in recent weeks.

It only took 12 minutes for the Old Lady to convert that superiority. They did so by taking advantage of a Cagliari disaster, which gave away the goal when Yerry Mina was out of the way. Vlahovic stole the ball from him with space and when he came one on one with Caprile, the Serbian used his resources to dribble past the goalkeeper and finish into an empty net.

He redeemed himself in his most difficult moment in the Juventus shirt. It wasn't just the goal, he was especially involved and accurate in all phases of the game, successfully pressing high up and easing his team's exit by holding on with his back. Motta left him the whole game, sharing minutes at the end with Kolo Muani, in what was a test for a possible future with both of them up front.

Juve's lead could have been greater, but Caprile ruined Yildiz 's night. The Turkish youth player managed two perfect plays that the goalkeeper was responsible for thwarting with two great saves from two point-blank shots. In one of the last plays, Yildiz tried his luck again in a Juventus attack but found the same fate: the Caprile wall.

At the end of the match, the Colombian was heavily criticised for his childish mistake in the defensive zone. The Calciomercato website referred to the play that defined the match in favour of Juventus.

"As for Mina, it's true that he hurts the forwards' ankles, but together with Adopo, he allows Vlahovic to score the winning goal. A costly disaster," explained the Italian media.

ESPN commentator Vito de Palma said that the error was all Yerry's. "Mina was responsible even though his teammate returned the ball to him, but Mina should have dived earlier to try to reach the ball," he said.
