Juan Cabal scored a late winner for Juventus as they beat 10-man Bologna 1-0, leapfrogging them into fifth place in Serie A.

Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini had an early chance, but his shot was smothered by Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio.

Juventus had more possession and created more chances, but Bologna’s defense held firm. However, the hosts were eventually reduced to 10 men when Heggem was sent off for a foul on Lois Openda.

The numerical advantage proved crucial, as Cabal scored the winner with a header from a Kenan Yildiz cross. The goal was Cabal’s first for Juventus, and it secured a valuable win for the visitors.

Bologna had chances to equalize, but they were unable to capitalize. Openda had a couple of good opportunities, but he was unable to find the back of the net.

The win is a boost for Juventus, who had lost to Napoli last week. They will be looking to build on this result when they face Roma next week.
