In addition to the debacle of the previous day against Napoli (5-1) and the 15-point penalty, two very difficult blows to take, Atalanta’s goal was added as soon as the game started. It was the 4th minute when Ademola Lookman received an attack from the right and hit a powerful shot at the near post that Wojciech Szczesny ate with his glove on wrong.

Juve accused 0-1 but it did not take long to react because of pride in aggressiveness and a previous game of revolutions. After the first penalty was not given when Arkadiusz Milik fell against José Luis Palomino, the referee, at the request of VAR, did not miss the demolition of Nicolò Fagioli by Ederson.

Di María equalized with a penalty and made it 2-1

Ángel Di María converted the penalty (22′) and put the team behind him, becoming the unbalanced player Juventus needed. The Argentine, in fine form after being proclaimed world champion, continued his celebration with a superb back-heeled pass that he directed to Fagioli on the right, whose cross Milik nailed into the net with a superb shot from a boot (34′) .

Juve seemed to have passed a critical moment but this Atalanta, who endorsed a decisive victory 8-2 against Salernitana the previous day, recovered all his scoring power after a careful first stage of the season and in the blink of an eye he turned the game around. marker guided by an immense Jeremie Boga.

Atalanta reverses the score

With the first minute of the restart not yet over, Fagioli failed to deliver and Joakim Maehle, after receiving from Lookman, perfectly adjusted his cross shot.

Lookman continued to wreak havoc on the Turin defence, making it 2-3 with an impeccable header from Boga’s cross (52′). It was the 11th goal for the Nigerian striker, just one behind ‘capocannoniere’ Victor Osimhen.

Danilo made it 3-3

Juve seemed to blame the hard work of a maddening breakdown in the first half but they found the strength to restore parity with another display of genius from Di María, who took a short free-kick for Danilo to score with a low shot over a misplaced barrier (64′).

He can win anything but in the final stage, now without Di María, there will be no more shocks in the first chapter of this unexpected and sad journey that awaits Juventus until the end of the season.
