Here’s a rewritten version of the Juventus vs. Lecce match report, maintaining a professional journalistic style and incorporating details confirmed by recent searches:
First-half goals from Teun Koopmeiners and Kenan Yıldız secured Juventus a 2-1 home victory over relegation-threatened Lecce in Serie A on Saturday, April 12th, maintaining new coach Igor Tudor’s unbeaten start. Dušan Vlahović provided assists for both Juventus goals.
Juventus started strongly and took the lead barely 100 seconds into the match. Vlahović played a perfectly weighted through ball for Koopmeiners, who drilled a low shot inside the far post.
The hosts dominated the opening period, creating numerous chances. Vlahović and Renato Veiga saw efforts blocked before Yıldız doubled the lead in the 33rd minute. The 19-year-old Turkish international fired into the bottom corner after being set up again by Vlahović following excellent team play.
Vlahović missed an opportunity to make it 3-0 early in the second half when Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone reacted quickly to deny him from close range. Juventus appeared to ease off after that, allowing Lecce back into the contest.
Federico Baschirotto scored a late consolation for the visitors, heading home powerfully following a free kick in the 87th minute, setting up a nervy finish at the Allianz Stadium.
However, Juventus held on for the victory, moving them provisionally up to third place in Serie A with 59 points from 32 games, one point ahead of Atalanta (who host Bologna on Sunday). Igor Tudor remains unbeaten in his first three games (W2, D1) since replacing Thiago Motta.
Lecce’s winless run extends to nine games, leaving them 17th with 26 points, just two points clear of the relegation zone.
