Opposed to a limited Lecce team, Juve did not tremble to consolidate their first place at the head of Serie A (4-0).
It is a split match in two times that the Italian champion delivered this Friday evening, at the opening of the 28th day of Serie A. Faced with a weak adversity – Lecce points to 18th place in the Italian championship -, Maurizio Sarri’s team had to wait more than half a time to materialize its superiority. Largely domineering in holding the ball, she did not show sufficient realism to unblock the situation in a disappointing first half.
Best game since recovery for CR7
It was worth the wait. Shortly after returning from the locker room, the classy Paulo Dybala exploited a perfect discount from Cristiano Ronaldo to open the score for an absolutely perfect skip-control sequence (1-0, 53rd). A few minutes later, CR7 doubled the bet on a penalty it had itself caused (2-0, 62nd). Sure of her fact, the Old Lady added two new goals late in the game. Ronaldo, decidedly untenable, served Higuain on a plate after a high class action (3-0, 83rd). And the young Dutch colossus De Ligt closed the festival with an unstoppable head on a corner (4-0, 84th). A job well done. Thanks to this unquestionable success, Juve provisionally takes seven points ahead of their first pursuer, Lazio of Rome.
