Juventus strengthened their position at the top of the Italian Football League by beating host SPAL 2-1 today in the 25th stage of the competition.

Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo advanced with Juventus goal in the 39th minute to score the best possible celebration in his 1000th match with his professional career.

Welsh Aaron Ramsey added Juventus' second goal in the 60th minute, then Andrea Betania retaliated with a goal for Sebal from a penalty kick in the 69th minute.

Juventus scored three expensive points that raised its lead in the lead to 60 points, four points behind its closest second-placed Lazio, who meets Genoa, on Sunday, while Juventus are six points ahead of third-placed Inter Milan who faces its Sampdoria tomorrow.
