Milan, Nov 22: Cristiano Ronaldo continued his scoring streak with another two goals as Juventus won 2-0 against Cagliari to move second in Serie A.
Ronaldo has now scored eight goals in his last five matches.
“When you have a champion like Ronaldo you can achieve any result, he is an example for everyone and he only has to continue like this,” Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said on Saturday. Juventus moved a point below league leader AC Milan, which visits Napoli on Sunday.
Third-place Sassuolo is a point further back ahead of its match against Hellas Verona. “It was important for our growth to have a match like this,” Pirlo said. “We played well from the first minute and dominated the match.” Atalanta and Lazio are among four clubs on 14 points, three fewer than Milan. Lazio won 2-0 at Crotone earlier on Saturday and Atalanta was surprisingly held 0-0 at Spezia.
Juventus attacked from the start and Federico Bernardeschi thought he had given his side an early lead but it was ruled out as Álvaro Morata was offside in the buildup.
The hosts finally made the pressure count seven minutes before the interval when Morata found Ronaldo, who cut in from the left and fired into the far bottom corner. Ronaldo doubled his tally four minutes later after a corner was flicked onto him by Merih Demiral.
Ciro Immobile marked his recovery from the coronavirus with a goal to send Lazio on its way to victory at last-place Crotone. (AP)
