On Tuesday, Juventus secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sassuolo, propelling them into the Serie A top four. Meanwhile, Como continued their impressive form with a 3-0 win against Pisa, further solidifying their aspirations for Champions League qualification.
Juventus's win at the Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore, marked their eighth victory in the last 10 matches across all competitions. This result was a significant bounce-back after being held to a 1-1 draw by Lecce in their previous outing. The match saw Juventus dominate from the early stages, although Sassuolo's Kristian Thorstvedt had the first chance, which he directed wide of the post. Kenan Yıldız proved to be a constant threat, forcing Sassuolo's goalkeeper Arijanet Muric into multiple saves. Juventus's pressure eventually paid off when Tarik Muharemović inadvertently headed Pierre Kalulu's cross into his own net, giving the Bianconeri a fortunate lead.
The second half mirrored the first, with Juventus maintaining control. Jonathan David played a crucial role, assisting Fabio Miretti, who drove into the box and fired into the corner to double the lead. Shortly after, David capitalized on a poor back pass from Jay Idzes, rounding Muric to score his first Serie A goal since the opening day of the season. This goal not only sealed the victory for Juventus but also ended David's goal drought. The win pushes Juventus up to fourth in the league standings, and with upcoming matches against Cremonese and Cagliari, they will be aiming to maintain their momentum.
Elsewhere, Como delivered a dominant performance against Pisa, winning 3-0 and moving into fourth place in the Serie A table. The match, played at the Arena Garibaldo, saw Como secure their third consecutive league victory. After a goalless first half, Máximo Perrone broke the deadlock in the 68th minute with a left-footed shot from outside the box. Tasos Douvikas then added two more goals, one in the 76th minute and another from a penalty late in the game, sealing the win for Como. Como's goalkeeper, Jean Butez, also played a vital role, saving a penalty and maintaining a clean sheet.
This victory propelled Como to fourth in the league, level on points with Juventus. Coached by Cesc Fabregas, Como is back in the top flight since 2024 after a 21-year absence and has a game in hand against AC Milan. Pisa, on the other hand, remains near the bottom of the table, struggling to find form after only winning once in 19 matches. Fabregas, however, tempered expectations, emphasizing the importance of team development over league position.
