Juventus faced a setback in their Serie A campaign as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Atalanta, in Sunday’s encounter.
Teun Koopmeiners’ brace canceled out Juventus’ comeback efforts led by Andrea Cambiaso and Arek Milik.
Juventus struggled to find their form in the match, with Dusan Vlahovic suspended and several key players sidelined due to injury.
Atalanta, on the other hand, were looking to bounce back from a winless streak, with Teun Koopmeiners and Gianluca Scamacca returning to the starting lineup.
The match started with both teams creating chances, but it was Atalanta who took the lead with an fine free-kick routine that saw Koopmeiners sweep in a first-time finish from Mario Pasalic’s pass.
Juventus fought back in the second half, with Milik equalizing with a well-worked move involving McKennie and Cambiaso.
Milik then put Juventus ahead with a half-volley, but Atalanta responded quickly, with Koopmeiners scoring his second goal of the match to level the score.
Both teams pushed for a winner in the closing stages, but neither could find the decisive goal, and the match ended in a draw.
The result sees Juventus drop to third place in the Serie A standings, behind Milan, while Atalanta continue to struggle for form.
