Result: Juventus 2-0 Cagliari
Date: 21 November 2020
Venue: Allianz Stadium
Cristiano Ronaldo was rear among the goals for Juventus after netting a brace in their success over Cagliari on Saturday evening.
Bianconeri were without standard centre-backs Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini but welcomed rear Matthijs de Ligt, who have got his first start of the growing season alongside Merih Demiral in the center of defence even while Cagliari were missing Diego Godin after he tested great for Covid-19.
Juventus found the back of the net found in the 11th minute after Federico Bernardeschi smashed house a strike in the trunk post after a good square ball from Alvaro Morata however the goal was disallowed for offside on the Spaniard.
The hosts came near to breaking the deadlock in the 25th minute after Morata flicked a ball that required a tap-in within the box but Sebastian Walukiewicz produced a timely clearance to deny Cristiano Ronaldo a major chance to tap inside an open net.
Ronaldo gradually broke the deadlock for Juventus seven mins prior to the break with a cracking strike from the border of the box into the far part after he was teed up by Bernardeschi.
Ronaldo doubled the business lead for Andrea Pirlo's fees right before the break with an out-stretched shot at the trunk post immediately after a flick about by Demiral from a part and Bianconeri visited the break with a two-goal cushion.
The Old Woman were threatening early on coming from the break and Demiral came near to rendering it 3-0 eight minutes within the second stanza with a header from Juan Cuadrado's corner that came off the crossbar.
Ragnar Klavan thought he previously pulled an objective back for Cagliari within the last 20 minutes with a flying header from a short corner but the goal was disallowed for a mind collision with de Ligt inside box.
Pirlo's fees were managing the overall game found in the closing levels, denying Cagliari any sniff at aim by keeping possession and in the end they held to rise to second on the log, simply a point in back of leaders AC Milan, who have a game in hand.
