Serie A: Juventus defeated by Empoli 0-1

In the first game without Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus were defeated by Empoli 0-1. Empoli's first-half goal by Leonardo Mancuso was enough to earn Empoli only their second top-flight victory over the 36-time champions, who were disappointing. The defeat came just one day after Manchester United announced that they had reached a deal to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo. 

Juventus looked a little better once Manuel Locatelli came onto the field, but that still was not enough. Moreover, Massimiliano Allegri's team offered a minimal threat in front of Empoli's goal, with Manuel Locatelli shooting wide deep into stoppage time. Mancuso, 29, had volleyed in from close range after 21 minutes after spending 18 months at Juve without ever playing for the first team. Empoli held on to earn their first league victory over Juve since 1999.
