Juventus Vs Cagliari

Juventus Struggles to Break Down Tenacious Cagliari Despite Kean Opener

Juve's Poor Form Continues

Juventus' dismal Serie A campaign continued on Tuesday as they were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by a resolute Cagliari side at the Sardegna Arena.

Despite taking an early lead through Moise Kean's 26th-minute header, the Bianconeri failed to impose their dominance and were repeatedly thwarted by a well-organized Cagliari defense.

Cagliari's Resilient Defense

Cagliari's backline, marshaled by veteran defender Diego Godin, proved to be an impenetrable barrier for Juventus throughout the match.

They limited the visitors to just one shot on target in the first half and continued to frustrate them after the break, with Kean's header their only effort that truly tested goalkeeper Alessio Cragno.

Juventus' Attacking Woes

Juventus' struggles in front of goal have been a persistent issue this season, and they were once again unable to find their cutting edge against Cagliari.

Paulo Dybala, who has been carrying the team's attacking burden, was largely ineffective, while Dusan Vlahovic failed to make an impact after coming on as a second-half substitute.

Kean's Bright Spot

Moise Kean provided a rare bright spot for Juventus, scoring his second goal in as many games to give them the lead.

The young striker showed determination and a clinical edge, but his efforts ultimately proved futile as Cagliari battled back to earn a deserved point.

Conclusion

Juventus' draw against Cagliari further highlights their current malaise and raises serious questions about their ability to challenge for the Serie A title this season.

With just five wins from their opening 12 league games, the Bianconeri find themselves languishing in ninth place, 10 points behind leaders Napoli.

Manager Massimiliano Allegri has a significant task ahead of him to turn things around and restore Juventus to their former glory.
