Ronaldo Leads Juventus To A 2-0 Victory Over Frosinone

September 24, 2018

Cristiano Ronaldo put a controversial game against Valencia behind him and scored a late goal for Juventus against minnows Frosinone.

The 33-year-old left the field crying after he was shown a red card during Juve’s Champions League matchup during the week.

Juve’s A$178million summer signing from Real Madrid was back in a big way as he scored a scuffed effort to break Frosinone hearts in the 81st minute.

Pjanic’s shot was blocked by a defender and the ricochet fell straight to the most prolific goal scorer on the pitch who slotted it past Sportiello calmly. There was some argument that Ronaldo was in an offside position, but the linesman’s flag stayed down, and the referee chose not to use VAR.

Juventus were very sloppy with the ball in the final third but were able to put the game beyond doubt in the fourth minute of injury time.

Ronaldo won the ball in his own penalty area and brought it to the opposite end of the pitch before laying it off for Pjanic. The central midfielder looked up and found Federico Bernardeschi in space who took his chance with a curling effort that beat Sportiello.

Ronaldo will definitely miss Juventus’ clash with Young Boys on October 2 but faces missing up to three games of this year’s competition.

And that would mean the Portuguese striker, 33, would miss the match at Old Trafford on October 23 and the return in Turin on November 7.
