Juventus thrash Pisa 4-0, close in on Champions League spots | OneFootball

Juventus does not stop its march in Serie A. At the Allianz Stadium, the team led by Luciano Spalletti put on a show of authority by defeating Pisa 4-0, a result that allows them to climb to sixth place with 50 points and sit just one point behind Roma, who currently hold the last Champions League qualification spot.

A lethal second half

After a balanced first half, the “Vecchia Signora” unlocked the match 9 minutes into the second half. The breakthrough came after a great combination: Portuguese Francisco Conceição assisted Kenan Yıldız, who sent in a precise cross for Andrea Cambiaso to head home unmarked and make it 1-0.

From that moment on, the home side was unstoppable. In the 20th minute, Frenchman Marcus Thuram extended the lead by pouncing on a rebound after a shot off the post by Manuel Locatelli. Ten minutes later, Turkish player Yıldız scored his eighth goal of the tournament with a cross-shot, capitalizing on a midfield turnover by Chilean Felipe Loyola. The icing on the cake came in the last play of the match, when Jérémie Boga finished off a perfect counterattack after a through ball from Locatelli to seal the definitive 4-0.

Italian outlook and Argentine presence

With this victory, Juventus puts pressure on Roma, who this Sunday will have to visit Genoa to defend their place at the top of the table.

Saturday’s action in Calcio began with good news for Argentine players: Como defeated Cagliari 2-1 away, with Máximo Perrone and Nicolás Paz both in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, at the Gewiss Stadium, Atalanta and Udinese shared the points after drawing 2-2.
