Juventus and Atalanta played out a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Stadium, despite Juventus having a numerical advantage after Marten de Roon was sent off late in the game. The match began with Juventus on the front foot, as Pierre Kalulu nearly scored in the second minute, hitting the post following Kenan Yildiz's cross. Teun Koopmeiners also came close shortly after, but his shot hit the side netting.
As the first half progressed, Vasilije Adziv forced Marco Carnesecchi into a remarkable save. Kephren Thuram then attempted a long-range shot that narrowly missed. Atalanta, however, took the lead just before halftime when Kamaldeen Sulemana skillfully maneuvered through Juventus' defence and scored with a low shot into the corner.
Atalanta almost doubled
their lead when Nikola Krstovic found himself one-on-one with Michele Di Gregorio but failed to convert. This miss allowed Juventus to stay in contention. Juan Caballed came off the bench to equalise for Juventus after some poor defending by Atalanta inside their penalty area.
The match saw further drama when De Roon received his second yellow card for a foul on Weston McKennie, giving Juventus an opportunity to win. However, McKennie missed a crucial chance late on, sending his shot directly at Carnesecchi. This result leaves Juventus trailing Napoli by one point in Serie A, while Atalanta sits two points behind in fifth place.
