Serie A, Juventus-Roma 2-1

Turin, 20 December (LaPresse) – Juventus beat Roma 2-1 in the Serie A matchday 16 fixture and climb to 29 points in the table, closing in on fourth place occupied by the Giallorossi, who remain on 30 points. Conceiçao broke the deadlock in the 44th minute with a low diagonal shot before half-time. In the second half, Openda doubled the lead in the 25th minute with an open goal after Svilar saved McKennie’s header. The Giallorossi pulled one back in the 30th minute through Baldanzi, after Di Gregorio parried Ferguson’s shot, but in the final stages, the Signora took few risks – in fact, they almost made it three through Yildiz, who was denied by the post – and secured their second consecutive league victory.
