21 December 2021 Juventus beat Cagliari 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, further complicating the situation of the Sardinian team, always in the relegation zone, and of its coach Walter Mazzarri, whose bench is even more unstable tonight.



Juve took the field by inserting front-wheel drive against a Cagliari who at times tried to raise their center of gravity so as not to suffer too much pressure from the bianconeri. For most of the first half, the rossoblù defenders tried to repel the offensive, Juve's first chance in the 11th minute when a cross from the right by Cuadrado found Kean's header but it was a post that got in the way. At 40 'the joy of Juventus striker number 18 when, on Bernardeschi's cross, he freed himself from Zappa's marking and hit his head surprising Cragno for 1-0.



Cagliari more dynamic in the second half with a sensational missed opportunity by Dalbert in the quarter of an hour, which would have brought the Sardinians on parity: on Bellanova's low-pitched cross from the right, the Brazilian svirgola a few steps from the goal defended by Szczesny.

At 23 'it was instead the Polish Juventus defender who instinctively deflected a header from Joao Pedro for a corner, primed from the right by Zappa.



On the other hand, Bernardeschi did not make a mistake in the 38th minute when, served by a filter on the counterattack of Kulusevski, he aimed at the left side of the penalty area and with a left-handed diagonal he sealed his performance and closed the game.
