Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty in the first half to
lead Juventus leaders to a 2-0 win at Bologna, for two,
and relieve the pressure on coach Maurizio Sarri.
After he missed a penalty against Milan in the Italian
Cup 10 days ago, Cristiano Ronaldo successfully put
the ball into the net this time in the 23rd minute, and
Paulo Dybala doubled the result with a wonderful goal
before the break to give their next team from Turin
a comfortable victory.
Juventus, who have 66 points from 27 games, widened
the difference that separates them from the standings
from Lazio to four points. Lazio is visiting Atlanta on
Wednesday. Inter Milan are five points behind Lazio in
third place, while Bologna is 10th with 34 points.
The failure of Juventus to score in two Italy Cup matches
after the resumption of the season after stopping due to
the Corona virus, in addition to the defeat by a penalty
shootout against Napoli in the Italian Cup final last
Wednesday, raised doubts related to Sari, who had
difficulties in imposing a style of play in his first season
with the team.
But there were no doubts about Juventus’ defense, which
kept his nets clean for the fourth consecutive game in all
competitions.
After involving Ronaldo at the center of the heart of
the attack not familiar to him against Napoli, Sari
returned the Portuguese player to his usual position
on the winger.
Juventus succeeded in advancing when Stefano Denswell
attracted the Matisdi shirt to a yacht during a corner kick,
to score Ronaldo 22 goals in the league this season from
the penalty spot.
Federico Bernardeschi made the second goal with
a clever pass with the heel, to make Dybala a volley that
saved the keeper Okash Skorobsky.
Bernardiski hit the crossbar, and Ronaldo scored another
offside goal for offside in the second half.
Juventus’ only frustration in the match was defender
Mattia de Sciglio’s injury, and his replacement Danilo
was sent off after receiving two consecutive warnings
near the end.
