Ronaldo FINALLY opens his Serie A account with a brilliant brace Juventus 2-1 Sassuolo
This day will be remebered as the day Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goals for Juventus.
Cristiano Ronaldo has ended a 320-minute wait for his
first Juventus goal by netting against Sassuolo.
The Portuguese superstar secured a €100 million (£89m/
$116m) move to Turin over the summer after opting to
bring a nine-year stint with Real Madrid to a close.
He arrived in Italy as one of the most prolific marksmen
of all time, but has had to be patient in a bid to open his
account for the Bianconeri.
That wait has now come to a close, with Ronaldo finding
the target in his fourth Serie A outing.
His barren run had stretched beyond the 300-minute mark
during a goalless first-half at the Allianz Stadium, but he
did not have to wait long to make his mark after the
interval.
In the 50th minute, he found himself in the right place at
the right time to prod home.
Sassuolo made a mess of clearing their lines from a
corner, with the ball rebounding kindly to Ronaldo off the
post for the 33-year-old to tap into an empty net.
