Result: Juventus beat Lecce 2-0.

The Serie A clash took place on 25 October 2026 at Via Del Mare in Lecce. Both sides entered the match looking to claim three points, but the visitors imposed themselves early and maintained control throughout the 90 minutes.

How it unfolded

The first decisive moment arrived in the 29th minute when Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie found the net. After a set-piece situation, Douglas Luiz delivered a through ball that split the defence, allowing McKennie to strike with his right foot from the centre of the box into the bottom left corner. The goal gave Juventus a 1-0 lead and shifted the momentum in their favour.

Just twelve minutes later, Juventus doubled their advantage. Douglas Luiz, who had earlier provided the assist for McKennie, collected the ball outside the penalty area and unleashed a right-footed shot that curled into the bottom left corner. The strike was set up by Federico Gatti, whose pass created the opening for Luiz to finish. By the 41st minute the score read Lecce 0-2 Juventus, and the hosts were left chasing the game.

The remainder of the first half saw Lecce attempting to respond, but Juventus held firm. In the second half, Lecce midfielder Kialonda Gaspar was shown a yellow card in the 76th minute for a bad foul. The booking did little to alter the flow of the match.

In injury time, the situation worsened for Lecce when Kialonda Gaspar received a straight red card in the 90'+4' minute. The dismissal left Lecce with ten men as the final whistle approached, confirming Juventus’s clean sheet and solidifying their win.
