Ronaldo also scores against Udinese

The Portuguese European champion, who has produced several negative headlines in recent days, scored the final goal (2th) in his club Juventus Turin's 0-2 (0-37) league win at Udinese Calcio on Saturday.

Rodrigo Bentancur had recently given the old lady the lead with a header (33'). With the win, Juve celebrated their eighth win in their eighth league game and are now just two wins away from equaling Roma's starting record.

American Kathryn Mayorga accused Ronaldo of raping her in a Las Vegas hotel room in June 2009. The 33-year-old vehemently denied the allegations, but some of his sponsors expressed concerns. The US sporting goods manufacturer Nike, for example, announced that it would continue to monitor the situation closely. The share price of Ronaldo's club Juventus fell by almost ten percent.

Roma struggles against Empoli Third win in a row for Roma. In the 36th minute, Lorenzo Pellegrini sent a free kick into the penalty area, Steven N'Zonzi headed it from the six-meter line into the bottom left corner to make it 0-1. Things got turbulent after the break: in the 56th minute, Cengiz Ünder (Roma) received a corner from Empoli in the penalty area. After a VAR check, the referee decided on a penalty! Francesco Caputo stepped up and sent the ball well over the goal, keeping the Romans in the lead. The 0:2 is worth seeing: Stephan El Shaarawy put a perfect pass to Edin Dzeko, who went into the penalty area and scored the final score with a hard shot.
