Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty in the first half to lead Juventus to the lead to win 2-0 at host Bologna on Monday and relieve pressure on coach Maurizio Sarri.
After he missed a penalty against Milan in the Italian Cup ten days ago, Ronaldo successfully put the ball into the net this time in the 23rd minute, and Paulo Dybala doubled the result with a wonderful goal before the break to give their team from Turin a comfortable victory.
Juventus, who have 66 points from 27 games, widened the difference that separates them from the standings from Lazio to four points. Lazio is visiting Atlanta on Wednesday. Inter Milan are five points behind Lazio in third place, while Bologna is in 10th place with 34 points.
Juventus' failure to score in two Italy Cup matches after the resumption of the season after stopping due to the Corona virus, in addition to the defeat by a penalty shootout against Napoli in the Italian Cup final last Wednesday, raised doubts about Sari, who had difficulties imposing his first-game style with the team.
But there were no doubts about the Juventus defense, which kept its nets clean for the fourth consecutive game in all competitions.
Defender Leonardo Bonucci said, "I think there was a lot of ado, and we had to respond like we did tonight." It's natural to talk about what happened after any defeat, especially in a final. We discussed and devised a plan, and you could see it today. "
After involving Ronaldo at the center of the heart of the attack not familiar to him against Napoli, Sari returned the Portuguese player to his usual position on the winger.
Juventus made headway when Stefano Denswell pulled in the shirt of Mattis de Licht during a corner kick, with Ronaldo scoring his 22nd league goal of the season from the penalty spot.
Federico Bernardeschi made the second goal with a clever pass with the heel, to make Dybala a volley that saved the keeper Okash Skorobsky.
Bernardiski hit the crossbar and Ronaldo scored another offside goal for offside in the second half.
The only source of frustration for Juventus in the match was the injury of defender Mattia de Chilio and his replacement Danilo was sent off after receiving two consecutive warnings near the end.
"We knew Juventus would be angry. It is almost impossible for them to stumble in three games in a row," said Bologna coach Sinisha Mihajlovic.
