Pisa 0-2 Juventus: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Pisa 0-2 Juventus in the Serie A on Saturday, 27 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Juventus secured a 2-0 victory over Pisa in this Serie A encounter. The first half passed without goals, as both sides probed but failed to convert chances, with Pisa’s recent string of losses—four in their last five games—evident in their cautious approach. Juventus, building on a run of three consecutive wins before this match, gradually asserted control but could not break the deadlock until later.

The breakthrough came in the 73rd minute when Pierre Kalulu scored for Juventus, shifting momentum decisively in their favour. Pisa, who had drawn their previous away game but suffered defeats in the three before that, pushed for an equaliser but were caught out in stoppage time. Kenan Yıldız added a second in the 90+2nd minute, sealing the win and extending Juventus’s positive form after a recent loss to Napoli.

Juventus dominated possession with 59% compared to Pisa’s 41%, which allowed them to create more opportunities, as shown by their eight corners against Pisa’s two. The visitors also edged successful dribbles at 42 to 38, indicating better individual flair in breaking lines, while Pisa picked up four yellow cards to Juventus’s one, suggesting a more frantic defensive effort that disrupted their rhythm. Both teams used all five substitutions, with Juventus’s changes around the hour mark helping to maintain energy and contribute to their late goals, supported by one recorded assist.

The stats highlight Juventus’s control without overwhelming efficiency, as they converted key moments into an assist and goals, while Pisa’s lack of assists underlines their struggle to create clear scoring threats despite competitive dribbling numbers.

The match remained goalless until Pierre Kalulu broke the deadlock for Juventus in the 73rd minute, capitalising on Pisa’s defensive lapses after a series of yellow cards had already hampered the hosts, including early bookings for Samuele Angori in the 6th and İsak Vural in the 52nd. Pisa made double substitutions in the 65th minute, with Giovanni Bonfanti replacing Samuele Angori and Malthe Højholt coming on for İsak Vural, aiming to shore up their backline, but further yellows for Antonio Caracciolo in the 76th and Matteo Tramoni in the 86th added pressure. Juventus introduced Jonathan David for Loïs Openda and Edon Zhegrova for Manuel Locatelli at the 60th minute, which injected fresh impetus leading to the opener.

In stoppage time, Kenan Yıldız scored Juventus’s second in the 90+2nd minute, assisted by Jonathan David, effectively ending Pisa’s resistance after their later changes like Lorran replacing Mehdi Léris in the 78th and Marius Marin coming on for Michel Aebischer in the 79th failed to turn the tide. Juventus made further adjustments in the 86th minute, with Filip Kostić replacing Andrea Cambiaso and Fabio Miretti for Teun Koopmeiners, before João Mário came on for Kenan Yıldız in the 90+4th to see out the game.

Pisa lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, focusing on a solid defensive base with Antonio Caracciolo anchoring the back three, while wing-backs like Samuele Angori provided width before his early yellow card and substitution for Giovanni Bonfanti. Midfield partnerships involving İsak Vural and Mehdi Léris aimed to control the centre, though changes such as Malthe Højholt replacing Vural and Lorran coming on for Léris highlighted efforts to adapt. Arturo Calabresi contributed in defence until Louis Buffon replaced him late on, with Matteo Tramoni adding attacking intent despite his booking.

Juventus deployed a 3-4-2-1 shape, emphasising midfield creativity with Teun Koopmeiners and Manuel Locatelli before their substitutions for Fabio Miretti and Edon Zhegrova respectively. Pierre Kalulu stood out in defence by scoring the opener, while Kenan Yıldız operated effectively in an advanced role, netting the second before João Mário replaced him. Wing options like Andrea Cambiaso, later substituted by Filip Kostić, supported transitions, and Jonathan David’s introduction for Loïs Openda proved pivotal with his assist.

Bwin’s Man of the Match was Kenan Yıldız, who made a significant impact for Juventus by scoring one goal in the closing stages. His performance included one key pass, though he created no big chances, underlining his role in sealing the victory with a composed finish. Having been on the pitch until his late substitution for João Mário, Yıldız’s contribution stood out in a game where Juventus needed late quality to break down Pisa.
