JAKARTA - Juventus picked a narrow 1-0 win over Lecce in the Italian Serie A continuation, Wednesday, September 27 in the morning WIB. This is a very meaningful victory for Juventus who recently lost an embarrassing defeat to Sassuolo in the previous match.

In the first half break against Lecce, Juventus received ridicule from their fans who were present at the Allianz Stadium. It was due to a 2-4 defeat to Sassuolo.

Juventu are poor for chances in this match. However, they finally won thanks to the only goal from Arkadiusz, which took advantage of Adrien Rabiot's pass through a corner kick.

This victory brought Juventus up to second place in the standings with 13 points. They are one point ahead of AC Milan who are in third position.

However, Juve's position could have been shifted by Milan because the rival will only play the sixth week of Serie A tonight.

"It is important to win, especially after a messy defeat against Sassuolo. We faced Lecce's team which did not give many chances, but we remained balanced and took advantage of our chances," Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri told DAZN.

Despite getting a positive result, Allegri left the field moments before the whistle sounded the end of the match in Turin. He looked very disappointed.

"We shouldn't play the ball too often backwards, one minute before the end of the game you can't just send the ball into the penalty box, but we have to solve these problems," Allegri said.

"Against Sassuolo, we started well, but then let too many chances on the other hand, so it's better this time to keep the game balanced and take advantage of the opportunities we created," he continued.

Allegri then emphasized that Juventus were not involved in their goal of winning the race, only finishing in the top four.

"In recent days, we have changed from rival Scudetto to Inter to a failed team, so there has to be a balance in the way we talk about us," said the former AC Milan coach.

"I don't want to hide here, Inter, Milan and Napoli have better resources than us to win titles. We have a lot of players who don't have much experience, but they can grow. It takes patience and time to absorb mistakes and learn from them," he continued.
