Juventus' 2025 has finished with a win in Pisa. The Bianconeri overcame the hosts with two second-half goals: Kalulu broke the deadlock, and Yildiz sealed the 2-0 win.
MATCH REPORT
Juventus started the match with aggression and immediately tried to grab the first goal with their first attack via Cambiaso's long-range strike, a powerful left-footed shot that flew over the crossbar. The match was intense in Tuscany, with the Bianconeri battling for every ball in midfield. Juventus dominated the game, keeping possession and patiently seeking out openings in Pisa's resolute defence. Midway through the first half, Spalletti's team created two chances in a matter of seconds: first, a clever combination in the tight penalty area freed Openda to shoot, but his effort was saved by Semper; then, a recovered ball in midfield led to Koopmeiners racing towards the penalty area, but the Pisa defence managed to deflect the shot for a corner. A minute before halftime, the home team threatened to break the deadlock themselves, with Moreo's header hitting the crossbar.
Locatelli's first shot of the second half for the Bianconeri came from outside the box, with a powerful left-footed effort that wasn't quite enough to trouble the goalkeeper. Pisa then hit the post on the hour mark with a header from Tramoni, which Kelly then picked up, before going on an offensive charge. Kelly, arriving in the penalty area, unleashed a thunderous left-footed shot that just missed the back of the net. The first goal, however, came just minutes later with a marvelous move: Zhegrova played a superb pass to Cambiaso, who laid it off first time for McKennie. The American then passed it to Kalulu in the centre, who, with a rebound, knocked the ball past Semper, breaking the deadlock. Following the goal, the Tuscans then became aggressive in their attacking, but Spalletti's team were excellent at exploiting the space created by Pisa's attacks to double the lead in injury time through Yildiz, who tapped in David's pass after some excellent play in the penalty area by Miretti. The Pisa match and 2025 itself have both ended with a victory.
