In Round 21 of the Italian league, Juventus visited Cagliari and recorded an unexpected result. The hosts won 1–0, denying the Turin side valuable points.
The match was decided in the second half. In the 65th minute, Mazzitelli made the most of his chance and scored the only goal of the game. That strike brought Cagliari victory and handed Juventus a painful defeat.
Over the course of the game, Juventus may have looked more active in possession and number of attacks, but lacked accuracy in the final actions. Cagliari defended with discipline and patience, making the most of one opportunity — the classic football script of “one chance — one goal.”
After this result, Juventus remain 5th in the standings with 39 points. Cagliari, with 22 points, move up to 15th place and secure three very important points.
