Juventus’ first golden opportunity came in the 11th minute. On receiving a pass from Aaron Ramsey, Cristiano Ronaldo escaped the offside trap and put the ball into the penalty area, but his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper by Il Samp, Emil Audero.
GOAL! Juventus went ahead at 13 minutes. Starting from Ronaldo’s individual action, which was thwarted by Tommaso Augello in the Sampdoria penalty area, the loose ball was immediately hit by Dejan Kulusevski with a curved shot that lodged in the right corner of Sampdoria’s goal. .

Almost! Juventus pressed again and nearly scored the second in the 24th minute, but Ronaldo’s shot after receiving a Ramsey cross still hit the post. Meanwhile, Sampdoria only got their first chance in the 31st minute, but Federico Bonazzoli’s long shot went wide.
The Ramsey-Ronaldo cooperation threatened Sampdoria again in the 34th minute, but again Ronaldo’s shot did not result in a goal. Weston McKennie also had a chance in the 43rd minute, but still bounced over the net.
Fabio Depaoli tried to equalize at the end of the first half, but his shot remained wide. The first half ended with Juventus leading 1-0.
In the second half, Juventus stepped on the accelerator again. Gianluca Frabotta was about to add a goal for Juventus in the 48th minute, but Audero was still ready to secure the net.
Sampdoria tried to come back four minutes later, returning through Bonazzoli. But his shot was far from target.
Ronaldo had a good chance in the 59th minute. Taking a bait from Juan Cuadrado, he turned around and finished with a shot, but instead bounced off the bar.
The Juventus threat returned in the 71st minute. Mattia De Sciglio fired a long-range shot, but still slightly off the right side of Sampdoria’s goal. Four minutes later, Ronaldo’s free kick was still blocked by Audero.
GOAL! Juventus finally doubled the lead in the 78th minute. Leonardo Bonucci registered his name on the scoreboard, after his frenzied cheating on the Sampdoria goal was not saved by Audero.
