Italy: Juventus held in check at home by Cagliari

Juventus Turin dropped two new points at home against poorly ranked Cagliari who snatched a 1-1 draw two minutes from the end of the match, Sunday during the 7th day of the Italian Championship.

Four days after overthrowing Leipzig by being reduced to ten in the Champions League (3-2), Juve lacked breath and inspiration, but thought they had secured the essentials when Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring (15th) on a penalty whistled for a handball in his area by a Cagliari player.

The Serbian striker then collected during the celebrations of his goal a jersey flocked in the name of Bremer, his Brazilian teammate who seriously injured his knee against Leipzig and whose season is undoubtedly over.

But in the 88th minute, Cagliari equalized on a penalty from Razvan Marin whistled after a gross foul by Douglas Luiz for the first goal conceded in the league by Juve.

Before the international break, Juve has certainly still not lost in the league (three wins, four draws), but with its 13 points is three points behind Naples (16 pts), the leader who won Friday against promoted Como (3 -1).

Inter are 2nd with 14 points and could be joined by AC Milan (5th, 11 pts) in the event of success on Fiorentina on Sunday (8:45 p.m.).

Cagliari, which had lost three of its last four matches, is in 15th place (6 pts).
