Result: Hellas Verona 1-1 Juventus
Date: 27 February 2021
Location: Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi
Juventus' Serie A name hopes took another knock after just managing a 1-1 pull with Hellas Verona on Saturday night.
Bianconeri made three changes from their thumping win over Crotone, seeing as goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was first recalled together with Federico Bernardeschi and Adrien Rabiot.
Verona almost grabbed an early on goal in the eighth minute from a brief part after Marco Faraoini glanced a header at the near content which forced Szczesny into a reflex save.
The hosts didn't allow Juventus to build from the trunk, pressing them high, with famous brands Cristaino Ronaldo and Dejan Kulusevski not receiving service upfront.
Ronaldo only got mixed up in game for the Aged Woman on the stroke of half-time with a free-kick beyond your box that didn't threaten shot-stopper Marco Silvestri as the first stanza ended goalless.
However, Ronaldo broke the deadlock three minutes in to the second stanza with a first-time low strike inside box that Silvestri could just help towards the trunk of the net after an excellent hold-up play simply by Federico Chiesa.
Juventus were dropping deep after going ahead plus they paid the cost for it within the last quarter of one hour, after Antonin Barak levelled issues for Verona with a good towering header in the back content from Darko Lazovic's cross.
Lazovic came near snatching the champion for Verona in the last five minutes with a good curling strike inside container that Szczesny tipped onto the crossbar, while the hosts held on to the show of the spoils.
