As part of the 15th day of Serie A, Thiago Motta’s men, sixth at kick-off, welcomed Bologna, eighth, at the Allianz Stadium. Unfortunately for the Old Lady, this shock at the top of the table quickly turned to the advantage of the visitors. After Dan Ndoye opened the score at the half-hour mark (0-1, 30th), Vincenzo Italiano’s troops took the break after returning from the locker room. At the conclusion of a magnificent collective movement, Pobega – served by Castro – deceived the Turin goalkeeper with a subtle lob from the left (2-0, 53rd).

A goal coming just two minutes after the expulsion of Thiago Motta, guilty of a gesture of humor towards the referee. With their backs against the wall, Juve finally woke up in the last half hour. First thanks to Teun Koopmeiners (2-1, 63rd) before young Samuel Mbangula equalized in added time (2-2, 90+2nd). With this draw (2-2), Juve remains stuck in 6th place. Bologna is still 8th, five lengths from its evening opponent.
