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 gave a show of authority by defeating Pisa 4-0, a result that allows them to climb to sixth place with 50 points, just one point behind Roma, which currently holds 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 opener came after a great combination: Portuguese Francisco Conceição assisted Kenan Yıldız, who delivered a precise cross for Andrea Cambiaso to head in unmarked and score the 1-0.

From then 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 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 final 4-0.

Italian outlook and Argentine presence

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

The Saturday matchday 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 eleven. On the other hand, at the Gewiss Stadium, Atalanta and Udinese shared the points after drawing 2-2.
