Juventus fell into the trap of an exciting draw with its guest, Atlanta, 3-3, in the match of the two teams at the “Aliano Stadium”, within the 19th round of the Italian Football League.
Juventus, in its first match, after a decision to deduct 15 points from it, found itself trailing in the score 4 minutes after the start, after a deceptive shot from Ademola Lukman, goalkeeper Vucic Chesney failed to deal with it to settle into the net.
But Juve quickly equalized from a penalty kick through Argentine Angel Di Maria in the 25th minute.
9 minutes after that, Niccolo Fagioli sent an elaborate cross into the penalty area, which Arcadius Milik converted from a single touch into the Atlanta net, scoring the second goal for Juventus.
Before the end of the first minute of the second half, Lookman hit the Juventus defense with a wonderful pass, which Joachim Mahli took advantage of, to send the ball into the net, to equalize the score for Atlanta.
