"But the hosts had to come from behind on Saturday after Sebastiano Esposito tucked home Marco Palestra's cross after a mistake from Juventus midfielder Filip Kostic. However, Cagliari's joy was short-lived as, just over a minute later, Yildiz collected Khephren Thuram's pass before firing a right-footed shot beyond the grasp of Elia Caprile. And Juventus got themselves ahead in the first minute of first-half stoppage time through Yildiz once again,"
"with his finish into the bottom-right corner rounding off a fine individual move started by Weston McKennie's neat flick around the corner. Not wanting to rest on their one-goal lead, Juventus flew out of the blocks after the break with Francisco Conceicao forcing Caprile into making a smart stop in the 48th minute. Teun Koopmeiners then let fly from distance and narrowly missed the bottom corner, with Cagliari's Riyad Idrissi then forcing Mattia Perin into a save at the other end soon after."
Luciano Spalletti's Juventus secured a 2-1 win over Cagliari at Allianz Stadium as Kenan Yildiz scored twice in the first half. Juventus fell behind when Sebastiano Esposito converted Marco Palestra's cross following a Filip Kostic mistake, but Yildiz equalised within a minute and put Juventus ahead with a stoppage-time finish after Weston McKennie's clever flick. Juventus pressed after halftime, with Francisco Conceicao forcing saves from Elia Caprile and Mattia Perin denied Cagliari chances, while Teun Koopmeiners narrowly missed from distance. The victory moved Juventus to seventh in Serie A and kept Spalletti unbeaten in charge; Yildiz now has four league goals.
