Bianconeri beat Lecce
Bianconeri beat Lecce A goal from Vlahovic decided the match between Lecce and Juventus in Puglia. The Bianconeri secured three crucial points thanks to the number nine's goal, which broke the deadlock after just 11 seconds, sealing the Bianconeri's victory very early on. MATCH REPORT Juventus got off to a dream start at the Via del Mare: it took just 11 seconds for the Bianconeri to break the deadlock against Lecce, capitalizing on an early kickoff: Yildiz found Koopmeiners in the penalty area, who played the ball wide to Cambiaso, who crossed for Vlahovic.
The Serbian controlled the ball with class, then outplayed the defender and fired the ball just under the crossbar to give Juventus the lead. A few minutes later, Di Gregorio made a decisive save from Cheddira's close-range effort, keeping the score unchanged. The Bianconeri responded immediately and nearly doubled their lead through Conceicao: Locatelli's splendid through ball found the Portuguese winger, whose left-footed shot hit the post, denying him a goal.
Juventus played with intensity, with Vlahovic the team's attacking focal point, and he threatened again with a left-footed shot that was saved by Falcone. Bremer also tried to double the lead, attempting an acrobatic shot inside the box but failing to find the target. In the 39th minute, Juventus created another great chance thanks to their high press: Vlahovic found himself in a favourable position and fired off a left-footed strike, but the shot rose too high and went wide.
Juventus played well in the second half, scoring twice, but both goals were ruled out for very narrow offsides. First, Vlahovic saw his brace slip away, then Kalulu celebrated briefly before a VAR review. The Bianconeri continued to push forward however.
Another good opportunity arose in the 69th minute: Yildiz cut in from the left, having received the ball from Conceicao, and shot towards the far post, but it didn't hit the target. A few minutes later, Juventus threatened again thanks to our number 7: the Portuguese player accelerated down the right flank, reached the byline, and crossed to Vlahovic, who attempted a right-footed shot in the box, but it was saved by Falcone. Spalletti's team continued to push forward in the final minutes, and in the 76th minute they created another opportunity with a good combination between McKennie and Vlahovic: the Juventus number 9 fired a right-footed shot after a quick one-two, but the ball went over.
