Juventus narrowly avoided a shocking defeat to salvage a 1-1 draw against relegated Salernitana

Tags:

Juventus almost avoided a catastrophic defeat, drawing 1-1 with already relegated Salernitana.

Juventus failed to find their footing early on, allowing Salernitana to grab an unexpected lead through Niccolò Pierozzi’s header from a corner.

Wojciech Szczesny made important saves to keep Juventus in the game, but the hosts were jeered off the field at halftime for their poor effort.

Max Allegri made three substitutions in the second half to inject new life into Juventus.

They pushed for an equalizer, with Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic coming close to scoring.

However, Adrien Rabiot finally leveled the score in stoppage time, sliding in at the far post to convert Manuel Locatelli’s flick-on from a corner.

Despite late chances for both sides, including a thunderous strike from Fabio Miretti that rattled the underside of the bar, the match ended in a stalemate.

The draw extends Juventus’ winless streak to five matches in the Serie A.
