Despite a lightning start, Italy’s record champions Juventus missed a win in the prestigious Serie A duel against AS Roma. Against the Conference League winner, the old lady did not get more than 1-1 (1-0) on Saturday with ex-Frankfurter Filip Kostic in the starting XI.
This brings the title hunt mission to a halt. Juve had already dropped points at Sampdoria Genoa (0-0) last week.
Meanwhile, the team of Rome coach Jose Mourinho, who relied on long-time Juve strategist Paulo Dybala in attacking midfield, caught up with leaders Lazio Rome – with seven points after three games.
Juve center forward Dusan Vlahovic (2nd) took the early lead with a remarkable free kick. The former series champion also remained dominant in the episode, but missed the preliminary decision. Then Tammy Abraham (69th) scored the flattering equalizer after submitting Dybala.
