(EFE) – Juventus Turin triumphed 2-0 this Saturday against Roma, in the twenty-first day of Serie A, the first division of Italian football, in a match in which the Romanist team was superior to the level of play, but surrendered against a great goal from Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, decisive to give Andrea Pirlo’s team three points.

Juventus precisely beat Roma in the standings and reached third position, five points behind Inter Milan, which beat Fiorentina this Friday and momentarily stormed the first position.
Roma, who came out with the Spanish Pau López, Gonzalo Villar and Borja Mayoral as headlines, was superior to Juventus in terms of play. He moved the ball with quality to the rhythm of Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Villar and created many dangers down the left wing with Leonardo Spinazzola.
Nevertheless, Juventus had the merit of enduring, with a great performance from the two full-backs, the Brazilians Álex Sandro and Danilo Luiz da Silva, and from the two centrals, Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci.
And once again he enjoyed a Christian in a “killer” version in the offensive zone. The Portuguese unbalanced the game with a real goal from the Spanish Álvaro Morata, in which he controlled with his right leg and shot immediately with his left, striking the goalkeeper Pau López (m.13).
Cristiano, who according to some statistics became the last Tuesday, with his double against Inter Milan in the first leg of the Italian Cup semifinals, the top scorer of all time, ahead of Brazilian Edson Arantes do Nascimento “Pelé” and the Czechoslovakian Josef Bica (762), touched the double advantage shortly after.
His right-footed shot, deflected by Albanian Marash Kumbulla, slammed into the crossbar and bounced off the line. Cristiano did not believe that the ball had not entered and was the protagonist of a particular scene with the referee.
He approached him and wanted to see on his watch that “Goal Line Technology”, which detects the position of the ball with a camera system, would not say otherwise.
The restart followed the same script, with Roma managing the ball and attacking with commitment, unable to find spaces in the Juventine rear.
The Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca gave way to the Bosnian Edin Dzeko, reinstated after more than two weeks of absence due to an altercation with the coach, and to the Spanish Carles Pérez, but again it was Juventus to score 2-0, with twenty to go minutes to go.
A center from Swede Dejan Kulusevski, who had just taken the field, was deflected at his own goal by Brazilian Roger Ibañez, sentencing a major victory for Juventus in their bid to retain the league title for the tenth time in a row.
