Tough situation for Atalanta in the 50th minute. There is the own goal by Atalanta midfieler Leonardo Spinazzola giving the 1-1 draw for Juventus. Originally, the goal was assigned to Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci, but then it was changed as an own goal from Spinazzola.

Atalanta equalizing the score for the 2-2 in the 89th minute. What a crazy moment. Atalanta not giving up and seeing their reward at least to claim the 1 point instead of losing the match. Hero is midfielder Remo Freuler smacking a right footed shot from close range in the top right corner.
