"Lois Openda scored his first Serie A goal as Juventus defeated Roma 2-1 at Allianz Stadium to move within one point of the top four in Serie A. Francisco Conceicao opened the scoring shortly before the break, while Tommaso Baldanzi's second-half strike failed to trigger a comeback as Juventus recorded their third straight win in all competitions. There were few chances to speak of in the first half, though Mile Svilar did deny Conceicao from point-blank range before Openda's rebound was blocked by Devyne Rensch."
"Juventus eventually doubled their lead in the 70th minute as Weston McKennie squared the ball to Openda for a tap-in after Svilar initially saved the former's header, but Roma quickly halved the deficit when Baldanzi was the fastest to react to a rebound from Evan Ferguson's shot. Yildiz was involved again shortly after, this time hitting the woodwork with a curling effort that evaded the reach of the Roma goalkeeper, but Juventus managed to see the win through."
