There was a three-goal lead at halftime, scored by Gleison Bremer (12′), Jonathan David (15′), and Kenan Yildiz (35′), an own goal by Filippo Terracciano (48′), and a goal by Weston McKennie (54′) in the second half, confirming Juve’s fifth win in six league games.

The Turin team reached 39 points, equaling champions Napoli and Roma, just four behind leaders Inter.

However, Inter, Napoli, and second-placed Milan have one game in hand due to their participation in the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, with those matches scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.

How was the match?

From the start, Juventus suffocated their opponent, with the Yildiz-Képhren Thuram duo being the real engines in every sector.

From a lateral free kick, the Turkish midfielder found Fabio Miletti, whose volley was deflected by Bremer to open the scoring.

Then, after a perfect pass from Thuram at the end of a solo 60-meter run, Jonathan David extended the lead.

Davide Nicola’s men conceded the third goal, scored by Yildiz after capitalizing on a rebound from a penalty saved by the goalkeeper (35′). In the second half, Juve added two more goals: an own goal by Terracciano and another by McKennie.

Shortly before, Genoa breathed a sigh of relief at the bottom of the table by beating Cagliari 3-0, climbing to 15th place (19 points), ahead of their rival, who also have 19.
