Juventus secured a narrow 2-0 victory over relegation-threatened Pisa at the Arena Garibaldi, extending their winning run in all competitions to four matches.

Despite dominating the first half, Juventus failed to create clear opportunities, with Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, and Kenan Yıldız all missing chances. Pisa’s Stefano Moreo almost scored in the final minute of the first half, hitting the crossbar with a header.

The second half saw Pisa come out strong, hitting the woodwork twice through Samuele Angori and Matteo Tramoni. However, Juventus’s Pierre Kalulu scored the breakthrough in the 74th minute, deflecting McKennie’s center into the net.

Juventus held off late pressure, and Jonathan David set up Yıldız to seal the win in added time. The victory marks Juventus’s eighth win from 12 matches under Luciano Spalletti.

The win moves Juventus up to third place, four places higher than when Spalletti took over. Pisa, meanwhile, remains in the bottom three, struggling to find form.

Edon Zhegrova provided a spark for Juventus, setting up Kalulu’s goal and causing problems for Pisa’s defense. Weston McKennie was named Man of the Match for his energetic performance.

Juventus will look to build on this momentum in their next match, while Pisa will aim to break their nine-game losing streak against the Bianconeri.
