Juventus never looked troubled in this match, and earn yet another comfortable home victory. Ronaldo’s goal was added to by Mandzukic who turned the ball over the line following a Costa strike on the hour.
Match Events
28'GOAL! Juventus 1-0 SPAL (Ronaldo)
Pjanic whips a free-kick from deep on the right-hand side just in front of the six-yard box where Ronaldo runs through completely unmarked to tap home a simple finish! The goalkeeper had no chance with that close-range finish!
60'GOAL! Juventus 2-0 SPAL (Mandzukic)
It looks like job done for Juve who get their second goal of the match, just before the hour. Ronaldo chases down a long ball down the left before laying it off for Costa who has a strike at goal from inside the penalty area. Gomis is only able to parry the shot into the path of Mandzukic, who puts it over the line!
Match Report
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner beat SPAL goalkeeper Alfred Gomis from six yards in the 28th minute at the Allianz Stadium – his ninth league strike for the Bianconeri.
Douglas Costa – one of six changes for Juve – impressed throughout for the league leaders, creating numerous openings that the hosts, including Ronaldo, were unable to convert.
Mario Mandzukic finally doubled Juve's advantage on the hour, the Croatia international sealing all three points with a simple tap-in after Costa's shot had stung the palms of Gomis.

Cristiano Ronaldo is simply unbelievable, he arrived at sporting became the best, he arrived at Manchester became the best, he arrived at Madrid became the best, he arrived at Juventus... well guess what HE BECAME THE BEST, simply the most complete and adaptable player.

The red thing on their faces, it's supposed to be lipstick, to fight violence against women. Every Serie A player has it this weekend

Did you know the stats? 😎 1. For the first time in Serie A Mario Mandzukic starts a match as Juventus captain. 2. Prior to Cristiano Ronaldo, the last Juventus player able to score nine goals in his first Serie A season after MD13 was Pietro Anastasi in 1968/69.
