The match
It was a close win for Juventus, 1-0 against a strong Lecce side at the Stadium. The Pugliese side had a promising start, maintaining possession and occasionally threatening in the opponent’s half.
The home team patiently awaited the Giallorossi’s mistakes, trying to regain possession upfield. Chiesa had the first opportunity at the 13th minute, but his shot from outside the box was too weak.
D’Aversa’s squad worked hard with Krstovic up front, but Juventus intensified their pressure after the first 15 minutes. At the 26th minute, Federico Chiesa had another great chance, with his left-footed shot narrowly missing the post on the left side of Falcone’s goal.
The guests weren’t intimidated, keeping the ball at their feet for the remaining minutes of the first half, resulting in a goalless scoreline at halftime.In the second half, the match’s pace picked up slightly, with both teams participating in more quick counterattacks.
Milik gives Juventus victory
Juventus struggled to build up play but broke the deadlock at the 57th minute: McKennie’s cross, Rabiot’s assist, and Milik’s tap-in sealed the deal.
After taking the lead, Allegri’s team played more freely, taking some risks. D’Aversa attempted to boost the offensive presence by bringing on Piccoli late in the game, but Juventus held their ground without too much trouble. In added time, the guests were reduced to ten men after Kaba received his second yellow card for simulation.
Juventus secured a 1-0 victory, temporarily rising to the second place with 13 points, just two points behind Inter, and surpassing Lecce, who remain at 11 points.
