September 27, (THEWILL) — A 1-1 stalemate between Juventus and Atalanta at Turin’s Allianz Stadium prevented the home side from claiming the Serie A summit, leaving them one point behind current leaders Napoli.
The result maintained the Old Lady’s unbeaten record this season but denied them the opportunity to move ahead of the defending champions.
Juan Cabal scored his maiden goal in Italy’s top division with 12 minutes remaining, capitalising after replacing the injured Gleison Bremer. The equaliser came when Odilon Kossounou mishandled a Joao Mario delivery, allowing the substitute to bundle home against Ivan Juric’s side.
Atalanta had taken the lead in first-half stoppage time through Kamaldeen Sulemana, who fired in his second goal in consecutive matches. The visitors appeared set for victory until Cabal’s intervention, with their task becoming more difficult when Marten de Roon received his marching orders, reducing them to 10 men for the final 10 minutes.
