No problem for Juventus. Leader of the Italian championship, the Turin team temporarily took a seven-point lead over Lazio Rome by defeating Lecce (4-0) without difficulty on Friday at the start of the 28th day.
With a beautiful goal from Dybala with a skylight strike (53rd) and a penalty from Ronaldo (62nd), the bianconeri first reproduced the scheme which had enabled them at the start of the week to beat Bologna (2-0) for their recovery in the championship.
But this time they made things a little bigger, with two other goals, signed Higuain (83rd), who was making a comeback, and De Ligt (85th).
Lecce at 10
For Maurizio Sarri’s team, everything was simplified by the expulsion of the defender from Lecce Lucioni from the half hour mark for a foul on Bentancur.
At 11 against 10 for an hour against a modest and relegated opponent (18th), Juventus could not really be in danger.
The injury to Alex Sandro and the suspension of Danilo had forced Sarri to push Matuidi back to the position of left back, but the French world champion escaped without worry, as had already been the case against the start of the season. the Spal.
Faced with the very compact organization of the Puglia team, the Turinese were simply patient before showing their obvious superiority.
Pressure on Lazio
