Match Report

Miralem Pjanic and Mario Mandzukic netted as Juventus saw off Lazio 2-0 on Cristiano Ronaldo's home debut on Saturday.

A packed house in Turin welcomed Ronaldo and his new team-mates and, despite a couple of nervy moments, the champions continued their winning start to the Serie A season.

Ronaldo's wait for a first competitive goal in black and white went on as Pjanic struck a fine first-half effort to set Juve on course for victory.

Former Real Madrid man Ronaldo might have netted the second goal, but found his feet in a muddle as he seemed destined to convert from close range and the ball instead flicked backwards for Mandzukic to volley in and clinch the points.

Sami Khedira hit the post inside the opening 20 minutes when the ball ran away from Ronaldo in the area, before Federico Bernardeschi cut in from the right to draw a superb stop from Thomas Strakosha with a teasing curler.

And Juve's pressure told on the half-hour mark as Pjanic met a bouncing ball 20 yards from goal to arrow a finish into the bottom-right corner.

Lazio gained a foothold in the game either side of the interval, but failed to forge a breakthrough, with Ronaldo coming close when he nodded wide midway through the second half.

The new Bianconeri number seven went closer still when Strakosha tipped a dipping effort over the top and that shot lifted the crowd ahead of Mandzukic's decisive goal, where Ronaldo could not finish from close range but inadvertently teed up his strike partner.

Preview

Cristiano Ronaldo will play in his first game at J stadium for Juventus, as they take on Lazio in their second game of the Serie A season. As ever, you can watch all the action via beIN SPORTS CONNECT. 

Juve left it late against Chievo last weekend, and have substitute Federico Bernardeschi to thank after tucking away a stoppage-time winner to give the Old Lady a 3-2 win. Ronaldo did not get on the scoresheet and will be looking to find the back of the net against Lazio on his home debut. 

Key Man

Ronaldo may not have bagged on his league debut, but Leonardo Bonucci did on his return to the club. The central defender nodded in his side’s second goal of the game, and immediately rekindled his partnership with Giorgio Chiellini. Bonucci will be well aware of the threat of Lazio on the counter-attack and will have to be at his very best if Juve is to come away with a clean sheet.

Lazio will be looking to pick up their first points of the season following their narrow 2-1 opening day defeat to Napoli. Simone Inzaghi’s team opened the scoring with a stunning strike from Ciro Immobile, before being pegged back by Napoli. 

Lazio is likely to concede possession against Juve, and try to push away on the counter. Summer signing Joaquin Correa came on from the bench and had a lively cameo. The Argentine winger could be in line for a start at Juventus stadium. 
 

Key Man

Ciro Immobile will be the main man to watch for Lazio. The Italian attacker scored 29 league goals last campaign and opened his account with a fine goal against Napoli. Immobile started his career in Juventus but failed to make an impact at the side as a youngster, he will certainly be relishing the prospect of defeating his former team by grabbing some crucial goals on the breakaway.
