Chronicle EditorROME. — Juventus need one point to secure the Italian Serie A soccer title after beating rivals Fiorentina 2-1 away on Sunday helped by Gianluigi Buffon saving a 90th minute penalty from Nikola Kalinic.
Alvaro Morata struck the 83rd-minute winner for Juve two minutes after Kalinic had equalised for the hosts with a curling effort to cancel out Mario Mandzukic’s first-half opener. Juve have 85 points, 12 clear of Napoli who have four games left, and will claim a record fifth consecutive Scudetto last night if second-placed Napoli fail to beat AS Roma away.
Massimiliano Allegri’s Juve side took one point from their opening three matches this season and were 11 points off the pace as late as Oct 31. — Reuters.
