Juventus Women picked up three vital points on Sunday as they beat Sassuolo 1-0 at the Stadio Enzo Ricci, continuing their perfect start to 2024.
The Bianconere needed a late winner from substitute Joe Echegini to get the job done, but the win allowed them to close the gap to Roma at the top of the table to three points.
We've looked back at some of the more interesting statistics to come from the game.
A FIRST | Joe Echegini became the first Nigeria international to score for Juventus in Serie A. Before her strike, the last Nigerian to score in Serie A was Saidat Adegoke for Como 2000 in 2012.
KNOCKING ON THE DOOR | It took Juventus 10 shots on target to score against Sassuolo.
HARD TO BEAT | Solene Durand made nine saves against Juventus, with no Sassuolo goalkeeper having had to make as many stops in a game since Isabella Kresche on February 25, 2023, against Pomigliano.
BREAKTHROUGH | Joe Echegini scored the latest opening goal for Juventus in Serie A this season, netting with the clock on 88:19.
