Juventus defeats Lecce 2-0 in Serie A comeback
Juventus secured a 2-0 away victory against Lecce at the Stadio Via del Mare, marking their first Serie A win since September 20. The decisive goals were scored in the first half by Weston McKennie in the 29th minute and Douglas Luiz in the 41st minute.
Following a period of difficult results, including a heavy defeat to Lazio, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti implemented a tactical shift to a five-man midfield to increase stability. This change, developed through direct dialogue with the players, helped the team control the match. While Douglas Luiz was a standout performer with both an assist and a goal, Spalletti expressed concerns regarding the team's second-half performance, noting a drop in intensity and control.
Lecce remained competitive in the second half, increasing their pressure, but were unable to breach the Juventus defense. The match also saw disciplinary tension, as Lecce's Kialonda Gaspar was sent off in the final minutes following protests against referee Fabio Maresca. The win moves Juventus up to seventh place in the Serie A standings with 14 points.
