On paper, it looked like a routine success for the Turin giants, but the reality was far more demanding

Juventus extended their impressive momentum in Serie A by claiming a third consecutive victory, edging closer to the top of the table after a 2–0 win over Pisa in Matchday 17.

On paper, it looked like a routine success for the Turin giants, but the reality was far more demanding. For long spells, Juventus were forced to stay patient, probing without finding a breakthrough. The deadlock was finally broken in the 73rd minute — with a slice of fortune. Defender Calabresi inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, handing the Bianconeri a crucial lead.

Even then, the contest refused to settle. Uncertainty lingered deep into stoppage time, with Pisa still threatening to make things uncomfortable. Relief arrived in the 92nd minute when Kenan Yildiz calmly sealed the win, scoring his fifth league goal of the season and underlining his growing influence.

The result marks a third straight league win for the side led by Luciano Spalletti. Juventus now sit just one point behind leaders Inter, keeping the pressure firmly on their rivals — although the Nerazzurri still hold two games in hand.
