Juventus continued their impressive resurgence under Luciano Spalletti, securing a hard-fought 2-0 victory against a resilient Pisa side on Saturday. The win marks a third consecutive Serie A triumph for the Bianconeri, moving them up to third in the table—a significant leap from the seventh-place spot Spalletti inherited just two months ago.
The encounter proved a stern test for the visitors, as promoted Pisa twice rattled the woodwork and threatened to cause an upset. However, the introduction of Edon Zhegrova after the hour mark provided the necessary spark, with his creative wing play setting up Pierre Kalulu for the crucial breakthrough goal.
The match also featured a poignant moment for Italian football as 17-year-old Louis Thomas Buffon, son of the legendary Gianluigi Buffon, made a late appearance for Pisa. Despite the sentimental subplot, Kenan Yıldız dashed any hopes of a local comeback by tapping home a second goal from close range during stoppage time.
Elsewhere in Serie A action, Como surged to sixth place following a dominant 3-0 win over Lecce, highlighted by Nico Paz’s sixth goal of the campaign. Meanwhile, Fiorentina’s disastrous season reached a new low; a 1-0 defeat at Parma left the Viola languishing at the bottom of the division.
As the league standings begin to take shape for 2026, Juventus look like a team transformed under their new leadership. While they were forced to weather a storm at the Arena Garibaldi, the clinical nature of their late goals suggests a side that is rediscovering its championship pedigree.
