11. 9. 2026Vlahovic strikes in the first minute as Juventus beat Lecce 1-0 in Serie A
Juventus left Via del Mare with three points after a fast start and a steady grip on the match. Dušan Vlahović scored inside the opening minute to seal a 1-0 win over Lecce in Serie A Round 36. Luciano Spalletti’s team controlled the ball and the territory, posting 65% possession and a 2.16 xG to 0.88 on the road in front of 27,383 fans.
The decisive moment
It took seconds. Teun Koopmeiners sparked the move, Andrea Cambiaso whipped in the cross and Vlahović finished with his left. Juventus set the tone from there, finishing with 15 shots to Lecce’s 8 and 6 efforts on target to 3. The visitors also racked up 7 corners and 40 touches in the penalty area, compared to Lecce’s 10.
Goalkeepers keep it lively
Both keepers earned their mention. Michele Di Gregorio made 3 saves, prevented 0.64 goals and posted an 8.1 Sofascore Rating as Juventus protected their lead. At the other end, Wladimiro Falcone was even busier with 5 saves and 1.05 goals prevented, good for a 7.9 Sofascore Rating. Lecce’s back line cleared 35 times and logged 12 interceptions, a sign of how often they were forced to defend their box.
Standout performers
– Dušan Vlahović led the line with 7 shots, 3 on target and the winner, earning a 7.5 Sofascore Rating.
– Andrea Cambiaso delivered the assist, added 2 key passes and a big chance created in a strong 83-minute shift.
– Manuel Locatelli controlled midfield with 70 passes, 4 tackles and a 7.6 Sofascore Rating, while Lloyd Kelly matched that 7.6 with 79 touches and 61 accurate passes.
– Kenan Yıldız put in the hard yards, winning 6 of 8 tackles.
– For Lecce, Jamil Siebert made 9 clearances (Sofascore Rating 7.2), while Lameck Banda created 2 key passes and posted 0.34 xA. Walid Cheddira produced Lecce’s best xG look at 0.42.
Numbers that explain the result
Juventus created the better chances with 2 big chances to Lecce’s 0 and 14 shots inside the box to 6. They were aggressive in attack, caught offside 6 times, and won 56% of all duels. Lecce worked their way into the game in the second half but couldn’t find a finish despite late changes. Francisco Conceição and Gaby Jean saw yellows, while referee Andrea Colombo kept a firm handle on a physical contest that included 18 Juventus fouls.
