Juventus Defeats Lecce 2-1 To Extend Unbeaten Streak And Strengthen Top-Four Aspirations

Juventus secured a 2-1 victory against Lecce in Serie A, maintaining Igor Tudor’s unbeaten start. Teun Koopmeiners and Kenan Yildiz scored for Juventus, while Lecce managed a late consolation goal.

This win extended Juventus’ unbeaten streak to three games, keeping their hopes for a top-four finish alive.

Dusan Vlahovic played a crucial role in Juventus’ performance. He assisted both goals, setting up Koopmeiners with a precise pass for the opener. Despite not scoring since February 23, Vlahovic matched his single-season assist record in Serie A with four assists this season.

Juventus dominated the first half, with Koopmeiners scoring early after Vlahovic’s assist. The hosts continued to press, and Yildiz doubled the lead in the 33rd minute with a shot into the bottom corner. Vlahovic had another chance to score but was denied by Wladimiro Falcone.

Lecce attempted a comeback late in the match. Federico Baschirotto headed home from a free-kick with just three minutes left, creating tension at Allianz Stadium. However, Lecce couldn’t find an equaliser and remained winless in nine games, sitting two points above relegation.

Tudor’s Impact on Juventus

Igor Tudor has revitalised Juventus since replacing Thiago Motta. The team achieved their 200th Serie A win at Allianz Stadium under his guidance. This milestone highlights their dominance at home since their debut season there in 2011-12.

The victory moved Juventus to third place in Serie A, overtaking Atalanta who play on Sunday. With this result, Juventus remains firmly in contention for a top-four finish as they continue to fend off competition from other teams.
