Juventus - Lecce 2:1

Juventus secured a crucial victory in their pursuit of a Champions League spot, defeating relegation-threatened Lecce 2-1 in Matchday 32 of the Serie A campaign.

The match was effectively decided in the first half as the visitors from Turin struck twice before the break. Dutch midfielder Teun Koopmeiners opened the scoring with a well-placed effort, before rising Turkish star Kenan Yildiz added a second — showcasing once again why he's considered one of the brightest young talents in Italian football.

Lecce managed to pull one back in the second half, but it wasn't enough to spark a full comeback. The result sees Juventus leapfrog into third place, putting pressure on top-four rivals Atalanta, who face a tough test against Bologna this Sunday.
