Match Events
2'GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Sampdoria (Ronaldo)
GOAAALLLLLL - Juventus 1-0 Sampdoria - Ronaldo opens the scoring with his first strike of the contest. The former Real Madrid man received the ball from the right wing from Dybala and he made the finish look so easy. A little turn onto his right foot gave him space and he curled it home past Audero who should have done better.
33'Penalty Goal! Juventus 1-1 Sampdoria (Quagliarella)
PENALTY AWARDED!!!! The referee heads across the touchline and decides that Can raised his arm as he tried to challenge Ekdal. Sampdoria now have the chance to draw level...Quagliarella to take the penalty!
GOAAALLLLLLL! Juventus 1-1 Sampdoria! Quagliarella stepped up with so much confidence and he smashes the ball past Perin who dived to his right. Quagliarella went the other way and we now have a real game on our hands!
53' SAVE! Audero denies Matuidi's shot
GREAT SAVE!!!!! Sampdoria have Audero to thank after he pulls off a superb stop to deny Matuidi. The Frenchman latched onto a poor clearance, took one touch and then fired a volley towards goal. The only issue was Audero and he got down quickly to deny the home side!
65'Penalty Goal! Juventus 2-1 Sampdoria (Ronaldo)
GOAAAALLLLLLLL! Juventus 2-1 Sampdoria!!! Ronaldo makes no mistake from the spot as he drills the ball down the middle of the goal. Sampdoria will feel very hard done to but they have 25 minutes to respond!
92: OFFSIDE! Saponara's goal disallowed
GOAL DISALLOWED!!! The home fans are silenced as Saponara scores a sensational goal from the edge of the box. He wheels away in delight before the referee considers VAR. Replays showed he was offside from Defrel's backheel. We play on at 2-1!
Match reports
Two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and a dramatic late VAR call gave Juventus a 2-1 win over Sampdoria on Saturday that extends their lead at the top of Serie A.
Having rescued their unbeaten start to the league season with the equaliser against Atalanta last time out, Ronaldo struck in each half to secure a 17th win in 19 games heading into the mid-season break.
Sampdoria, who had levelled through Fabio Quagliarella's penalty and had an injury-time Riccardo Saponara strike disallowed by VAR, have now lost their last four away league games against Juve for the first time since 1968.

You guys don’t know how impressive it is for Ronaldo to score 14 goals in the most defensive league and that to with Juventus who barely know how to attack. Cristiano Ronaldo now on 14 goals +5 assists in 19 league appearances for Juventus. One of the most adaptable players ever. Having an magnificent impact on Juventus. THERE IS SIMPLY NO STOPPING HIM ✌✌✌😲

If he would have played in. Madrid it could have been more then 60 for sure. He had to sent sometime in know the new team game play, the player, and the strategy. I do support him.. He Is amazing not because I love him. But he deserves it. Playing in new team and yet getting to the top 🔝 is something amazing.

after seeing this, i hope those saying ronaldo is done will repent, you think dribbling is everything? what do you need dribbling for when you could just shoot from 35 yards at will? had this gone in, it would have been a terrific screemer 😦😦😦😦

Did you know? 🧐 1. Today all the games of a Serie A match-day will be played on the 29th of December for the first time in the history 2. Fabio Quagliarella has scored in nine Serie A games in a row: the last one to reach this streak was David Trezeguet in 2005 3. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the 100th Juventus goal in 2018 (all competitions).

This is the legend of Cristiano Ronaldo The most beautiful Futboller in the world today. He talks a great deal and brags indeed of his dangerous shot thats incredibly speedy The Futbol world was dull and weary with boring players like Messi Pele and Maradona things had to be dreary Then someone swag and someone with dash Brought Futbol fans are running with Cash. This brilliant player is something to see And winning a world cup its his destiny This man is dangerous he got speed and endurance But if you played against him increase your defenders This man can finish with his left this man can finish with his right If he get a chance on Goalie you were asleep for the night And as he lookin hungry for more Goals you will beg the ref to blow the whistle And pray that you wont have to meet me in again For I am the man this poem is about CRISTIANO RONALDO The KING of Futbol there isnt a doubt This I predict and I know the result I will score in min 64th of Uefa Champions League Finals 2019 and please dont bet against me I am of a man of my word

I think you are just caught up into the synergy of cr7.. when you called those 3 greatest player of all names plz do it BV with some respect next time..those 3 players were and is more than just goal scorers they are all ball artists..the way they dominated the spaces on the field is only can't be done by one dimensional players.. Italian league as watered down over the years.not what it used to be..juventos is the strongest in that league inside them there hardly any more competition from others besides Napoli.. it was not like the days when it was defenders paradise..and with all that player like marodona was able to dominate.. what a player though..
