Juventus forward Moise Kean was subjected to racist abuse from the stands as the Serie A leaders won 2-0 at Cagliari, but the 19-year-old took a stance of defiance after scoring a late second goal. Juventus players, led by captain Giorgio Chiellini, protested to referee Piero Giacomelli, who was also in conversations with both managers. Kean picked up a needless caution for simulation in the 20th minute when he went down under a challenge from Artur Ionita in the Cagliari box. Juventus swept swept into the lead in the 22nd minute when Bonucci met Federico Bernardeschi’s looping corner with a towering header. With five minutes left, Juve made sure of the win when Kean slotted home a low cross from substitute Rodrigo Bentancur, before taking his own stand against the racist abuse.
