Cristiano Ronaldo's wait for his first goal in Serie A continues despite coming so close against Lazio in a 2-0 victory for Juventus.
Match Events
11' Lulic's shot saved
A mistake by Pjanic allows Lazio to threaten. Immobile cuts the ball back for Lulic to strike from the edge of the box.
His effort angles towards the bottom corner, but Szczesny gets down to make the stop, turning the strike past the post.
19' Khedira hits the right post
Khedira strikes at goal and his effort hits the post and Lazio scramble the ball away.
Bernardeschi picks it up on the right flank to cut in and fire towards the target on his left foot. Strakosha flings himself to his right to make the stop.
30' GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Lazio (Pjanic)
The home side have the breakthrough as Pjanic scores a beauty from distance. He latches on to a deflected cross 25 yards from goal.
The midfielder goes for the volley, catching the strike sweetly on his right foot. It has the swerve and the power to travel away from Strakosha into the bottom corner.
59' Luis Alberto's shot misses to the right
Luis Alberto is afforded space and time 20 yards from goal. He goes for the curler into the top corner, only to see his effort drift inches past the post. Szczesny was rooted to the spot.
63' Chiellini's header saved
Ronaldo smashes his free-kick into the wall, but Juventus are still able to recycle possession to win a corner on the left flank.
71' CHANCE! Ronaldo's shot saved by Strakosha
He powers a fierce shot towards the top corner, but Strakosha does brilliantly to get across to tip the ball over the bar.
So close for the Portuguese and the stadium erupts in support of their new star man.
75' GOAL! Juventus 2-0 Lazio (Mandzukic)
The home side have their two-goal cushion as Mandzukic converts at the back post. Douglas Costa's run down the right flank created the opening and he fired the ball across the face of goal.
Ronaldo was there for a sure tap-in, but a slight deflection took the ball on to his heel. Fortunately for Juve it bounced perfectly for Mandzukic to hammer into an empty net from close range.

What an amazing match between the two... both teams played very well and were in good shape... wonderful goal from Pjanic but honestly Ronaldo's assist was way more better... although he did it accidentally it will remain one of the best assists in Juve's history... this match he got an assist and in the next one I am sure he will come with a goal... Good Luck CR7

Even if Rinaldo fails to hit the target (God forbids), he's still far better than Messi. How on earth will a player that fears to leave a Club for more than a decade will be compared to Ronaldo that played in at least 3 teams in 3 different countries apart from his own country.

man it's hard for him to score the teams coaches and players are concentrating too. much on not letting Cristiano score in anyway they can but due to the lack of concentration on others and holding on to one player is letting the goals leak by the teams for other players and he would have scored if not for that brilliant save by keeper and a last second touch which made Cristiano assist Mario instead of scoring let's wait,you know it he struggled in laliga too for some games but once he started scoring there were rain or goals and let's hope he scores in next match and they need some quality players in midfield instead of khedira

Italian teams accept loss against the old lady but they don't accept CR7 on the score sheet. Here comes the biggest question , Will they continue stopping him ??

2 win out of 2. Well played Juventus. Perfect start of the season. Hooe to end the season in the same way. All things was absolutely fine, but we should still wait to see cristiano Ronaldo goals from Juventus shirt. Ronaldo performance was good though he couldn't find the net. Hope to see his goals as soon as possible. Good luck Cristiano Ronaldo and juventus for the coming games.

Ronaldo just joined the team, he has to get used to it and after that he will score alot, look at the start of real madrid he had the same problem. But he won again!!!!

Italia league is a legendary league know for it defensive qualities and CR7 is a great player know for his goals scoring abilities. It’s won’t be easy, but the goals will come and when the goals starts coming they won’t stop coming. It’s normal what is happening now . Playing in a different league takes time to adapt. Once CR7 adapts juventus and him will go all the way . Great game by juventus and a wonderful team play by CR7 who plays like he’s 20 years old . Parma may be the beginning of goals crazy Ronaldo. Best of luck juventus see you at Parma next weekend.
