Lecce-Juventus 0-2 live: Cabal misses a golden chance to make it 3-0

Lecce-Juventus comes with a long injury list and three points already crucial to both sides. At 18:00, the Via del Mare in the Salento city hosts the penultimate match of the eighth round of Serie A 2026/2027.


At Lecce, Eusebio Di Francesco's side have lost three key starters in three days, Coulibaly, Ilici and Pierotti, but must maintain their good form. A win would take them above Luciano Spalletti's Juventus, whose manager is on "a hot seat" (in the words of CEO Carnevali). Juventus have gone two league matches without a win and have also lost Nico Gonzalez and Celik to injury. They arrive after a controversial Europa League draw against Rennes.


Lecce-Juventus 0-2

Scorers: 29' McKennie (J), 41' Douglas Luiz (J)



  • Goals and highlights

    89' CHANCE - A superb ball sends Cabal racing in behind, one-on-one with Falcone. Off balance, he fires wildly over.


    85' - Boga goes it alone and curls a right-footed shot wide.


    78' WHAT A MISS! Woltemade starts the move, then collects a deflection from Boga's dribble. One-on-one with Falcone, he sends his right-footed shot well over. Play stops, though: the German was offside at the start of the move.


    75' CHANCE - Danilo Veiga overlaps and drives a low cross into the middle of the area. Esteban gets ahead of Lucumì and backheels the ball towards goal, but Vicario saves comfortably.


    63' Lucumì gives the ball away badly again, allowing Maleh to set himself on the edge of the area. He scuffs his left-footed shot wide.


    57' Lecce clear a corner and launch a lightning counter-attack. Tiago Gabriel plays the ball forward to N'Dri, who immediately crosses towards the middle of the area. Kalulu's deflection sends it back to the Portuguese defender, who rises and heads wide.


    49' CHANCE - Geubbels finds Maleh with a superb ball. He controls it in the middle of the area and shoots with his left foot, but Gatti makes a crucial deflection to turn it behind for a corner. Vicario comfortably saves Gaspar's header from the resulting delivery.


    46' Lecce threaten straight away as the ball reaches Ngom on the edge of the area. He scuffs a right-footed shot down the middle, and Vicario saves.


    41' GOAL - Woltemade controls a fine ball and gets Juventus moving forward again. Kolo Muani plays it wide to Gatti, who immediately lays it off to Douglas Luiz on the edge of the area. His first-time right-footed shot across goal beats Falcone, who could have done better, with the help of the far post.


    36' CHANCE - Douglas Luiz plays Kolo Muani in behind. He gets away from Tiago Gabriel, controls the ball with his chest, turns and shoots across goal from a slightly wide position. He scuffs his right-footed effort and misses the far corner.


    29' GOAL - Douglas Luiz catches Lecce's defensive line by surprise with a rehearsed free-kick delivery. Veiga loses track of McKennie, who makes an onside run and stretches to get just enough on the ball, without striking it cleanly, to beat Falcone.


    25' Lecce break well, moving the ball from right to left until it reaches Fatah near the corner of the penalty area. The Swede cuts back onto his right foot, beats Kalulu and curls a shot high over Vicario's goal.


    5' - Woltemade sends Kolo Muani in behind. He reaches the byline and crosses into the middle of the area for Woltemade, who mishits the ball and cannot get a shot away.


    1' CHANCE - Vicario takes an enormous risk, waiting far too long to clear with his feet. When he finally does, N'Dri stretches to block the clearance. Fortunately for the Juventus goalkeeper, the ball goes behind the goal.


    0' Kick-off at the Via del Mare at 18:00
