Juventus Defeats Lazio 1-0 in Serie A

Juventus secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Lazio in Serie A, thanks to a late own goal by Lazio's Mario Gila in the 85th minute. The match was significantly influenced by a red card shown to Lazio's Alessio Romagnoli in the 24th minute after a VAR review, leaving Lazio with ten men for most of the match. Despite Juventus' numerical advantage, they struggled to create clear chances until Gila's unfortunate deflection of Juan Cabal's cross past his own goalkeeper. This win marks Juventus' best defensive start to a league campaign, having conceded only once in their opening eight games. Juventus now sits second in the league standings with 16 points, level with Napoli, while Lazio remains fifth with 13 points. Juventus' strong defensive form under coach Thiago Motta is critical as they continue their unbeaten start this season.
