Hard-fighting Atalanta forced Juventus to a 1 – 1 draw on Wednesday night, to ensure they earned a valuable point away.
Atalanta’s Matteo Pessina had the first real attempt which came in the 7th minute when he fired from outside the box, but Wojciech Szczesny had it under control.
However, the Old Ladies had opened the scoring in spectacular fashion in the 29th through Federico Chiesa
Cristiano Ronaldo made several efforts to double the lead for the hosts but somehow it remained 1-0 at half-time.
The second-half started brightly for the visitors who began to pile pressure on Juventus – and their persistence paid off in the 57th minute when Remo Freuler rifled home from outside the area to make it 1-1.
Expectedly, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up to take it, but goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini did well to deny the Portuguese. There were no further ado as it ended Juventus 1-1 Atalanta.
