Juventus returned to the path of victory by winning on the Lecce lawn (0-2) on Sunday during the 8th day of Serie A. Luciano Spalletti’s men quickly took control of the match and made the difference in the first period. Weston McKennie opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a clever free kick from Douglas Luiz, before the Brazilian midfielder doubled the lead in the 41st minute with a cross shot from the right. Despite a few opposing attempts after the break, the Bianconeri maintained their advantage without conceding a goal.
This success is good for the Old Lady, who remained in a draw and a heavy defeat in the league against Lazio. Despite several opportunities to widen the gap, notably by Cabal (89th), the Turinese provided the essentials and returned to three points from fourth place occupied by Como, synonymous with qualification for the Champions League. Enough to offer a little respite to Spalletti, whose situation on the bench had become more delicate in recent weeks.
