Juventus held to draw by Verona in Serie A clash

Juventus temporarily moves top

Despite the draw, coach Igor Tudor's Juventus side temporarily moved to the top of the table with 10 points. However, defending champions Napoli can surpass them if they win against Pisa on Monday evening.

Verona still seeking first win

Verona climbed to 15th place with three points, having now drawn three of their first four matches. The team remains without a win despite improved performances in recent games.

Conceição’s early goal for Juventus

Juventus took the lead in the 19th minute when young Portuguese winger Francisco Conceição delivered a brilliant solo effort. He received the ball on the right wing, skipped past two defenders, and fired a low left-footed shot into the far corner past goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipò.

Orban equalises from the spot

Verona responded before halftime. Nigerian forward Jeff Orban converted a penalty in the 44th minute after a handball by João Mario. Juventus keeper Michele De Gregorio got a touch on the ball but couldn’t keep it out.

VAR Denies Verona a second goal

In the second half, Verona thought they had taken the lead when Suat Serdar headed in from close range following a corner. However, after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed for an infringement (67’).

Juventus shows signs of fatigue

The Bianconeri looked tired during the match, likely due to the physical toll of their previous high-intensity matches against Inter Milan (4-3) and Borussia Dortmund (4-4) in recent weeks.

Juventus' unbeaten run against Verona continues

Despite the draw, Juventus extended their unbeaten run against Verona to eight matches, with six wins and two draws in that stretch.
