Lazio piled further misery on Juventus with a 1-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening, extending the Bianconeri's winless run to eight games across all competitions. A deflected early goal from Croatian midfielder Toma Basic secured the win for the home side, while Juventus struggled to find a response.

The defeat increases the pressure on Juventus head coach Igor Tudor, whose team has not won a competitive match since mid-September. The loss leaves Juventus in eighth place in the Serie A table. Meanwhile, Lazio's victory sees them climb into the top half of the table, marking their fourth match without a defeat.

Lazio started the match strong, capitalizing on an early opportunity. In the ninth minute, a misplaced back pass from Juventus' Jonathan David was intercepted by Danilo Cataldi, who set up Basic for a shot from just outside the box. Basic's effort deflected off a Juventus defender and found the bottom corner of the net, giving Lazio an early lead.

Juventus struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, with their only shot on target before halftime coming from Jonathan David, whose attempt was blocked by Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel. Despite controlling the tempo of the game for periods, Juventus failed to create clear-cut chances. Lazio, on the other hand, looked dangerous on the counter-attack, with Matteo Guendouzi forcing a block from the Juventus defense.

Tudor made a change at halftime, bringing on Kenan Yildiz to inject more attacking quality into the team. Manuel Locatelli tested Provedel from distance early in the second half, but the Lazio goalkeeper was equal to the task. Lazio also had opportunities to extend their lead, with Mattia Perin, Juventus' goalkeeper, saving attempts from Basic and Boulaye Dia.

In the 65th minute, Juventus appealed for a penalty when Francisco Conceicao went down in the box, but the appeals were waved away. Shortly after, Tudor made a double substitution, introducing Khephren Thuram and replacing Teun Koopmeiners in an attempt to spark the attack. Thuram forced a good save from Provedel with a header in the 75th minute, giving the visitors some hope.

As Juventus pushed forward in search of an equalizer, they left themselves vulnerable at the back. Lazio nearly sealed the victory on the counter-attack, with Gustav Isaksen and Pedro both coming close to scoring. Ultimately, Lazio's defense held firm, denying Juventus an equalizing goal and securing a valuable three points.

After the match, Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni hailed the victory as an "extraordinary game," praising his team's humility, character, and unity. He also commended Basic for his professionalism and dedication, even when he was not included in the squad. Basic himself urged his teammates to remain focused, emphasizing the tightness of the league table.

The defeat leaves Juventus in a difficult position, with pressure mounting on coach Tudor to turn their form around. Their winless streak now extends to eight games in all competitions, and they are struggling to keep pace with the top teams in Serie A.
