Buffon saves Juve victory

The Turin team beat Bologna 2-1. Juventus took the lead after 19 minutes with a shot from Cristiano Ronaldo from around 10 meters into the near corner. Just 7 minutes later, Bologna equalized with a volley from defender Danilo. But shortly after half-time, Miralem Pjanic restored Juventus' lead.

In the end it stayed that way, also because Gianluigi Buffon brilliantly defused an overhead kick from Bologna striker Federico Santander in stoppage time. He had also hit the crossbar with a header a fraction of a second earlier.
