Juventus moved to within one point of the Serie A summit following a 2-1 away win against Roma, thanks to goals from Chico Conceicao and Ikoma Lois Openda.
Juventus significantly bolstered their Serie A title credentials on Saturday with a gritty 2-1 victory over Roma at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
The win moves the Bianconeri within four point of league leaders Inter Milan, intensifying the race at the summit of the table, although they were unable to overtake the visitors, who remain third with one more point.
Chico Conceicao opened the scoring with a clinical finish in the first half before Lois Openda doubled the advantage in the second-half, ensuring that Juventus capitalized on their momentum in a high-stakes encounter between two Italian giants.
Despite the deficit, Roma refused to go quietly and found a lifeline late in the second half through a strike from youngster Tommaso Baldanzi.
The Giallorossi pressured for an equalizer in the closing stages, but a disciplined Juventus defense held firm to secure all three points.
The victory marks Juventus’ third consecutive win, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown in the battle for the Scudetto as the winter break approaches.
