Juventus and Atalanta were evenly matched

In a fierce battle at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Juventus and Atalanta shared the points. At the end of the first half, the visitors opened the scoring: Kamaldin Sulemana finished a counterattack with a precise shot in the 45+1 minute, putting Atalanta ahead. The "Zebras" were much more active than their opponents during the first 45 minutes: shots — 13:6, shots on target — 6:1, ball possession — 67%. However, serious chances in front of the goal were nullified by the visitors' defense led by Juan David Cabal.

In the second half, Pepe's men (Allegri's team) did not lose the initiative: quick passes through the center, crosses from the wings, and set pieces increased. The number of corners is clear evidence of this — the ball was sent into the visitors' penalty area 14 times. Finally, in the 78th minute, Juan David Cabal joined the attack and sent a low cross from the sideline into the opponent's goal, equalizing the score.

In the 80th minute, Marten de Roon left the field after a second yellow card, and Atalanta finished the game with ten men. After that, Juventus increased the pressure: 24 total shots, 10 on target, and 88% pass accuracy — sweet statistics, but no winning goal came. The visitors preserved the valuable point thanks to a disciplined block and the goalkeeper's reliable performance.

From a tournament perspective, this draw is a lesson for both sides: Juventus will continue to fight for a high position but needs to improve attacking efficiency; Atalanta, even when reduced in numbers, did not lose control thanks to discipline and teamwork. In the upcoming rounds, the schedules for both clubs are not easy — points lost in such matches could be decisive at the end of the season.
