Vlahovic’s 12-second goal lifts Juventus’ UCL lead

Juventus took a big step towards getting the Champions League as Dusan Vlahovic scored one goal in this game as they won 1-0 against Lecce.
Vlahovic opened the scoring after just 12 seconds, the fastest goal of the Serie A season, curling into the net from Andrea Cambiaso’s left-footed cross.
The Serbian and Pierre Kalulu later had goals disallowed for offside, but it didn’t matter as Juve moved into third place, four points ahead of fifth-placed Roma in the race for the top four. Lecce, four points ahead of the bottom three, missed the chance to confirm their Serie A status.

In the other game of the day, Udinese won 2-0 at Cagliari.
