Juventus ended their Serie A season on a high with a 2‑0 win against Lecce at Via del Mare, recovering three precious points after the 3‑0 defeat against Lazio. The episode was led by a goal from Weston McKennie in the 29th minute and a second from DouglasLuiz in the 41st, which consolidated the lead and allowed coach Luciano Spalletti to maintain control of the match until the final whistle.
The match started with strong pressure from Lecce, who immediately tried to put the Juventus defense in difficulty. In the eighth minute, N'Dri created some problems for Vicario, but the Bianconeri quickly regained possession. McKennie has already shown his ability to create danger, sending a dangerous ball to the far post in the eighth minute. Lecce attempted to respond with several attacks, but Juventus kept their defense compact and took advantage of a mistake by Maleh which led to a free kick for which McKennie found the net.
The second goal came shortly after, when DouglasLuiz took advantage of a free kick taken by the Brazilian to send the ball into the net. The midfielder took advantage of Gatti's verticalisation, hitting a shot from outside the area that went past the Lecce goalkeeper. With the lead 2‑0, Spalletti decided to keep the same formation, trying to consolidate the defense and protect the result.
Lecce attempted to react, introducing Siebert and Monteiro in the second half and trying to increase the pace of the game. However, the sanctions for Maleh's action and the absence of TiagoGabriel due to a muscle problem limited the Salento team's chances of scoring. Lecce attempted to create opportunities from free kicks and corners, but none of these were successful against the Juventus defence.
With the victory, Juventus rose to 14 points in the league table, reaching sixth position. The result allowed the club to regain confidence after the defeat against Lazio and consolidate its position in the top half of the table. Lecce, however, remained in twelfth place, still maintaining a five-point margin over the relegation zone. The match ended with Juventus protecting their lead until the last minute, guaranteeing the three points needed to restart the rest of the season with confidence.
