Analysis The numbers behind the result
Juventus efficient in front of goal as Lecce rue missed chances
Juventus' 2-0 victory was slightly flattering given the balance of play, with the xG totals (1.13 vs 1.02) suggesting a far tighter contest than the scoreline implies. Despite Lecce generating more shots (16 to 8) and testing the goalkeeper four times to Juventus' two, the visitors were ruthlessly clinical — converting both of their shots on target through Weston McKennie's 29th-minute opener and Douglas Luiz's 41st-minute strike.
The match pivoted on Juventus' efficiency in transition (58% possession translating to 1.13 xG from just 8 shots) while Lecce's 42% possession yielded 1.02 xG but lacked composure (only 4/16 shots on target). McKennie and Luiz — the latter also providing an assist — were the decisive figures, with Lecce's frustration compounded by Kialonda Gaspar's late red card. The key statistic: Juventus scored twice from two shots on target, while Lecce failed to convert any of their four.
