Match Events
7' Ronaldo's shot too straight
Cuadrado dispossesses Reca on the right channel and drills a low pass towards Ramsey inside the box and the midfielder then lays the ball off to Ronaldo on his right, but he fizzes his effort straight at the goalkeeper from a tight angle.
18' Ronaldo's shot blocked
Ronaldo arrives late into the box to meet Khedira's floated delivery and manages to beat the SPAL defender to the ball, but his volleyed effort is pushed wide by Berisha who concedes a corner.
33' CHANCE! Dybala's shot stopped by Berisha
Juventus break from the corner and the ball is played to Dybala on the right flank who surges forward before cutting inside the box, but he then sees his side-footed effort palmed wide by Berisha.
42' CLOSE! Berisha denies Ramsey’s effort
Rabiot sprays the ball wide to Ronaldo who races down the left flank before approaching the penalty area, but this time Tomovic manages to make an intervention and he wins the ball off the forward.
45' GOAL! Juventus 1-0 SPAL (Pjanic)
Berisha punches Matuidi’s cross out to the edge of the box and it drops to Khedira who lays it off to Pjanic arriving on his left. The midfielder then produces a wonderful first-time effort to smash the ball far into the left-hand corner and leave Berisha with no chance.
78' GOAL! Juventus 2-0 SPAL (Ronaldo)
Dybala travels down the left channel with menace before whipping a deep delivery into the box and Ronaldo rises highest at the back post to nod the ball underneath Berisha and into the bottom right-hand corner.

De ligt is the future if Juventus Defence. Dybala and Ronaldo duo looking better than Higuain. Juventus start very slow lazy but they need more goals. Should play more attacking football. Finally The GOAT scored a stunner!
