This did not appear to bother the Bianconeri who still went ahead deep in stoppage time after Ronaldo sent a shortly taken free-kick into the bottom corner for his 31st league goal of the season.
A brace beckoned for the Portuguese superstar six minutes following the resumption, but the one-time Real Madrid talisman failed to profit.
Wojciech Szczesny was put to work a little later after tipping Maya Yoshida's header to safety following a free-kick, while Audero denied Ronaldo from close-range at the other end.

Ronaldo had a chance to grab a brace from the penalty spot after Alex Sandro went down in the area in added time, but he struck the crossbar as the two goals were enough to seal Juventus' ninth straight title and Sarri's first league title.
