In the early morning of September 28 (Vietnam time), Juventus hosted Atalanta at home in round 5 of Serie A 2025-2026. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, in which Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi became a prominent figure thanks to a series of excellent saves.
In the 3rd minute, Kalulu sent the ball along the visitors' goal, signaling a great attack pressure from Juventus. Throughout the first half, the "Old Lady" continuously organized attacks but encountered the excellence of Carnesecchi. The surprise happened in the first minute of extra time when Sulemana took advantage of his solo in front of the penalty area to launch a cross-angle shot to open the score for Atalanta.
Entering the second half, Juventus continued to maintain the dominating position. However, it was not until the 78th minute that the home team found an equalizer. From the ball touching defender Atalanta, Cabal quickly kicked the ball into the net, bringing the match back into balance. Notably, Atalanta had to play with one less player from the 80th minute after captain Marten de Roon received a second yellow card.
In the remaining minutes, Juventus created many opportunities but could not defeat Carnesecchi any more. The 1-1 draw caused both teams to leave the field with one point.
According to statistics, Juventus controlled the ball up to 67% and launched 24 shots (10 on target), while Atalanta only had 12 shots, 2 of which were in the right direction of the goal. However, effective defense helped Atalanta preserve the score.
This result temporarily caused Juventus to miss the opportunity to shorten the gap with the top group, while Atalanta showed resilience despite having to play with one less player in the final stages of the match.
