On June 30, Juventus secured a crucial 3-1 win over Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, further solidifying their position at the top of the Serie A table.
The victory marked a significant milestone for Maurizio Sarri's men, who now hold a four-point lead over second-placed Lazio.
The match got off to a thrilling start, with Paulo Dybala breaking the deadlock just five minutes into the second half. The Argentine's audacious move saw him dribble past several Genoa defenders before unleashing a close-range shot that left Mattia Perin with little chance of stopping it.
Just six minutes later, Juventus doubled their lead, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a thunderous goal. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner picked up the ball in midfield and drove straight to the edge of the Genoa penalty area before releasing a powerful shot that found the back of the net.
Genoa's Andrea Pinamonti managed to score a consolation goal in the 77th minute, but it was too little, too late for the home team. Douglas Costa sealed the win for Juventus in the 73rd minute, finding the back of the net with a well-placed shot.
The win marked Ronaldo's 27th goal of the season, further cementing his status as one of the top scorers in the league.
With the win, Juventus will look to maintain their momentum as they return to the Allianz Stadium to face Torino this weekend.
