"The Bianconeri were quickly into their stride with David's header pushed onto the post by Wladimiro Falcone, while Andrea Cambiaso and Manuel Locatelli also went close for the hosts. However, it was Lecce who struck the opener in first-half stoppage time. Lameck Banda pounced on a loose pass from Cambiaso, before cutting inside Pierre Kalulu and Bremer, and smashing home."
"Juve were back on level terms, though, four minutes into the second half following a swift counter from a Lecce corner, which culminated in Weston McKennie tucking away Kenan Yildiz's deflected cross. The hosts had a great opportunity to complete the turnaround in the 66th minute, when Mohamed Kaba was penalised for handball following a VAR review. Yet, David's tame penalty was saved by Falcone's outstretched leg."
Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw by Lecce at the Allianz Stadium after Jonathan David had a penalty saved by Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone. Lameck Banda scored in first-half stoppage time before Weston McKennie levelled early in the second half from Kenan Yildiz's deflected cross. David's spot-kick in the 66th minute was saved following a VAR-awarded handball. Juventus controlled large periods but could not find a winner, with Yildiz hitting the post late and Lois Openda missing a rebound. Falcone has five Serie A penalty saves since 2022/23, four away, and Juventus registered their 22nd Serie A draw since last season.
