Juventus is the sole leader of the Serie A. Juventus winning 27 games compared to Sampdoria winning 14 this season. Juventus returning to the Serie A after the elimination in the Champions League Quarterfinals against Real Madrid. A good way to make a statement in the Serie A as the defending champions.
It is Juventus to open the score in the 45th minute just before ending the first half. Forward Mario Mandzukic defeating Sampdoria goalkeeper with a right footed shot in the center. The assist is by Douglas Costa with a cross.

Second goal of the match arriving in the 60th minute. It is Benedikt Höwedes to score from close range with a headed shot in the bottom left corner. Special goal because it is the first goal scored as a Juventus player. The assist is by Douglas Costa with a cross.
60′ – A great passage of play from Juve in the Sampdoria box saw @BeneHoewedes meet a @douglascosta cross with a diving header to score his first-ever Juventus goal!! ⚽️⚽️?️?#JuveSamp

Sampdoria just collapsing. Juventus scoring the third goal in the 75th minute. It is Sami Khedir to deliver a right footed shot to the bottom left corner. Surely, a great game for Douglas Costa making the third assist for goal.

75′ – It’s a hat-trick of assists for @douglascosta, who after some great twisting and turning past the Sampdoria defence saw him pass the ball across the box for @SamiKhedira to side-foot home!!! ⚽️⚽️⚽️?️?#JuveSamp
