Juventus wins '4-star', continues the top 4 race in Serie A

Juventus shows dominant power by beating Pisa SC 4-0 in Serie A round 28, maintaining the pursuit for a top 4 spot.

Despite good ball control in the early minutes, Juventus unexpectedly faced a heart-stopping moment in the fifth minute. From Samuele Angori's cross, striker Stefano Moreo jumped high for a header, forcing goalkeeper Mattia Perin to make a difficult save, with the ball even hitting the post before being cleared.

After that early warning, Juventus began creating more opportunities. However, Khephren Thuram's shot flew over the crossbar, while defender Francesco Coppola managed to clear the ball after a dangerous cross from Francisco Conceição. Center-back Federico Gatti also had a powerful header but went straight into goalkeeper Nicolas Andrade's position.

Pisa's defense played resiliently, especially Antonio Caracciolo's excellent sliding tackle to block Jonathan David's shot. Meanwhile, on the attacking front, Rafiu Durosinmi continuously troubled Juventus's defense, though Moreo couldn't beat Perin with his next header and Mehdi Leris's shot hit a teammate.

After an ineffective first half, coach Luciano Spalletti decided to make two personnel changes just before the second half began. This adjustment quickly proved effective as Juventus intensified their pressure strongly.

The breakthrough moment came when young Turkish talent Kenan Yıldız combined with Conceição before delicately flicking the ball to the far post for Andrea Cambiaso to head in and open the scoring for the home team in the 54th minute. Just 11 minutes later, Juventus doubled the lead when Manuel Locatelli's shot hit the post and rebounded perfectly for Thuram to rush in and finish from close range.

The match was completely dominated by Juventus in the remaining part. In the 75th minute, Yıldız created space himself before unleashing a powerful shot that left goalkeeper Nicolas with no chance to save. Not stopping there, Jeremie Boga concluded the goal fest by dribbling past the goalkeeper and finishing coolly, sealing the 4-0 victory.

This victory helps Juventus end a four-match winless streak in Serie A, while narrowing the gap with AS Roma and Como 1907 to just one point, though Roma still has a match on Sunday. Meanwhile, Pisa continues to sink deeper at the bottom of the standings after their fourth consecutive defeat.

Also in Serie A round 28, Italian national team striker Scamacca scored a brace in the second half, helping Atalanta retain one point against Udinese after a 2-2 draw.
