He is knocked out in the “battle” for the championship Juventus!
The “Bianconeri” drew 2-2 away from home with the Verona for its 25th matchday Serie Ain a game where they had a poor competitive image, they were twice behind in the score and the point they got looks like… defeat in claiming the title.
And this, because they went to 54 points and are -9 behind the leader, Inter (63 points), which is galloping to win the scudetto, having at the same time a game less than Massimiliano Allegri’s team, which by all indications says goodbye to the title race with the Nerazzurri. On the other hand, Verona with the valuable point he left the danger zone and is in 17th place with 20 points.
In the match, the hosts managed to open the scoring early on, with Michael Folorunso to make it 1-0 in the 11th minute with an unimaginable shot in motion. Juventus tried to recover and raise their intensity, equalizing before half an hour of the match (28′) with a well-placed penalty kick by Vlahovic.
However, the visitors failed to take advantage of the good momentum and in the second half they saw Verona take the lead again. Specifically in the 52nd minute Tijani Noslin scored 2-1, with Adrien Rabiot equalizing in the 55th minute to make it 2-2 for the “Bianconeri”, which was also the final score of the match at the “Marc Antonio Bedegondi”.
