Juventus beats Lecce 1–0 as Roma falls four points behind

Source: Forza Roma

Juventus extended their Serie A lead over Roma to four points with a 1–0 victory at Lecce on 9 May 2026. Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring after just ten seconds with a left-footed finish past goalkeeper Falcone, effectively deciding the match early. Lecce, managed by Eusebio Di Francesco, offered resistance but never seriously threatened Juventus's goal. Two goals were disallowed in the second half—one each for Vlahovic and Kalulu—while Lecce's sole effort of note came from N'Dri, a shot that did not trouble Juventus goalkeeper Di Gregorio.

The result places Roma under immediate pressure in the title race. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's team now sits four points behind leaders Juventus and faces a crucial response fixture against Parma the following day. Roma must win to close the gap and maintain their Serie A challenge.

La squadra salentina lotta ma non riesce a fermare la Juventus. La partita si sblocca subito, dopo appena 10 secondi: Vlahovic, con il sinistro, supera Falcone e porta avanti i bianconeri, indirizzando di fatto il match. Nel secondo tempo arrivano anche due reti annullate, una allo stesso attaccante serbo e l’altra a Kalulu. I giallorossi, invece, non riescono mai a rendersi davvero pericolosi: soltanto un tiro di N’Dri impensierisce Di Gregorio, senza però creare veri pericoli.

Parma vs Roma: Dybala set for the bench as Pisilli starts

Roma will face Parma on 10 May in Serie A's 36th round, with coach Gian Piero Gasperini expected to field Niccolò Pisilli in the starting lineup while Paulo Dybala moves to the bench. Gianluca Mancini is set to be confirmed in defence despite being under disciplinary notice. The midfield pairing of Bryan Cristante and Koné is expected to continue, with Celik and Wesley operating as wing-backs. Donyell Malen is poised to start in attack, with Matías Soulé and Pisilli supporting from deep. The match is crucial for Roma's Champions League qualification hopes. The side recently won away at Bologna and claimed a decisive home victory over Fiorentina at the Olimpico on Monday. Parma, already mathematically safe from relegation, provide opposition at the Tardini. Roma cannot afford any further dropped points in the run-in if they are to secure European football next season. Gasperini will have El Aynaoui, El Shaarawy, and goalkeeper Gollini available for selection. Long-term absentees Lorenzo Pellegrini, Vinícius Júnior Dovbyk, and Zaragoza remain unavailable.
