Incredible so, Juventus finally collecting their first point of the season. It’s an urgent call for Juventus, defending Italy’s Champions, to start winning. It’s unthinkable to see the “New Juventus” failing big time and almost losing this game. Imagine how serious the situation for the Bianconeri that it is since 1962 that Juve get 1 point in their first 3 games of the season. This draw boosting just a little bit Juventus’ morale ahead of next week Champions League game against Manchester City on 15 September at the Etihad Stadium Stadium Manchester in England.
Surprise, surprise, hello, hello…. just unbelievable! Juventus conceding a goal in the 5th minute!!!! It’s a nightmare for Juventus fans while the few Chievo fans at the Juventus Stadium celebrate. It is midfielder Perparim Hetemaj to open the score defeating goalkeeper Gigi Buffon with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner. Not an ideal scenario for the Bianconeri
Juventus equalizing the score in the 83rd minute after Referee Guida gives a penalty to Juve conceded by Chievo defender Bostjan Cesar following a foul on midfielder Juan Cuadrado. It is midfielder Paulo Dybala to equalize by converting a penalty defeating goalkeeper Albano Bizarri with a left footed shot in the top right corner.
Juventus will see the debut of new signing midfielder Hernanes. Point is that this “New Juventus” lacking consistency after the departure of the 3 key players Carlos Tevez, Andrea Pirlo, and Arturo Vidal.
