On a chilly evening at the Allianz Stadium, Juventus battled to a tense 2-2 draw against Venezia, marking their fourth consecutive tie and their tenth of the Serie A season. The match featured late drama as Dusan Vlahovic equalized via the penalty spot deep in stoppage time, rescuing the home side from defeat.
The game opened with Juventus taking the lead thanks to Gatti, who scored his first goal of the season. The young defender capitalized on a corner delivered by Koopmeiners, flicked on by Thuram, and with poise, he placed the ball past Venezia's goalkeeper, Stankovic.
Despite facing the early setback, Venezia quickly ramped up pressure, coming agonizingly close to equalizing as Andersen’s long-range effort struck the crossbar. The visitors were finding their footing and tested Juventus' defense with increasing frequency.
Just shortly after halftime, Juventus seemed poised to double their lead. Yildiz followed up on a well-executed attack with another tap-in, but the goal was disallowed for a handball after VAR intervention revealed he had used his arm to deflect the ball.
Venezia took full advantage of the setback, equalizing just past the hour mark. A pinpoint cross from Zampano found Ellertsson, who soared above the defenders to head the ball powerfully past Di Gregorio, restoring parity at 1-1.
The visitors continued to press, and just minutes later, they slammed home another goal. Idzes, with impressive aerial ability, met Nicolussi Caviglia’s well-placed free-kick with a commanding header, sending the away fans roaring with excitement as Venezia surged to 2-1 lead.
Juventus, under mounting pressure, rallied desperately to find the leveler. With the clock winding down, they created several opportunities, but finishing eluded them, as frustration mounted among the supporters who urged their team to attack.
Finally, as the match reached its dying moments, hope arose for Juventus after the referee pointed to the penalty spot following handball by Candela. The incident was controversial, but it gave Vlahovic the chance to redeem his team. With great composure, he stepped up and beat Stankovic with his shot, making it 2-2.
The final whistle blew soon after the penalty, and both teams left the pitch with mixed feelings. Juventus extended their winless streak, continuing to struggle for consistency, whereas Venezia celebrated their resilience, securing what they deemed a valuable point against one of Serie A's heavyweights.
This match exemplified the unpredictability of football, with both teams fighting fiercely until the end and delivered yet another thrilling encounter characterized by late-game drama.
