Turkey forward Kenan Yildiz scored a brace to give Juventus Luciano Spalletti’s first home victory in Serie A as they beat Cagliari 2‑1.

Juventus looked shaky early on as Cagliari took the lead through Sebastiano Esposito, capitalising on a defensive lapse just after the 26th minute. The Old Lady’s fans braced for another frustrating night, but the tide turned in an instant.

Only a minute later, Yildiz leveled the game with a deflected strike from the edge of the box, showcasing his poise and vision in tight spaces. It was his fifth Serie A goal of the season and a clear sign of growing confidence.

The drama wasn’t over. In first‑half stoppage time, Weston McKennie’s clever back‑heel set up Pierre Kalulu, who found Yildiz on the edge of the area. The Turkish forward slipped past two defenders and slammed a stylish finish into the far corner, sealing the comeback.

Spalletti praised his young charge, noting, “Yildiz has the qualities of a great player; he gave us the win out of nothing. I’m trying to give him as much freedom as possible and liberate him from tactical concerns. He’s really great in tight spaces.”

The victory lifts Juve to seventh on 23 points, four behind leaders Roma, who host third‑placed Napoli on Sunday.

Unfortunately, Dusan Vlahovic left the match with a thigh injury, prompting Spalletti to admit, “I don’t have a good feeling about it.”
