Up step Mr reliable, Quagliarella, who equalized for Sampdoria in the 33rd minute from the spot to go into the break on level terms.

At the resumption of the second half, Ronaldo hit the woodwork in the 59th minute with a brilliant effort but he wasn't going to be denied again as he gave Juventus the lead in the 66th minute scoring from the spot.

However, Juventus thought they have been denied a win in their last game of 2018 right at the death as Saponara forced the ball into the net for Sampdoria in the 92 minute.
