On July 4, 2020, Juventus secured a 4-1 win over Torino in the Derby della Mole, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring from a free kick and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon making a record 648th Serie A appearance.
Ronaldo curled his shot over the wall and into the corner to put Torino 3-1 ahead in the 61st minute, his first goal in 43 free kick attempts during just under two seasons with Juventus.
Buffon, 42, overtook Paolo Maldini’s Serie A appearance record when he was picked for his first league game this year.
The win left Juventus with 75 points from 30 games, seven ahead of second-placed Lazio who were at home to AC Milan later on Saturday.
‘We took the lead right away and then scored again. Maybe we thought it was going to be easy but the penalty got us nervous and made us lose control of the game,’ said Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri.
