Juventus disappoints, Immobile historic

One point from the last three games, 9th place in the table, 13 points behind leaders Napoli - and the rest of the league still has a game in hand. Juventus' situation is precarious. Nobody has been talking about the championship for a long time, getting into the CL places is now the top priority.

The 1-2 defeat against Hellas Verona had many names. On the one hand, it was Giovanni Simeone who let the Old Lady fall back into the usual pattern of this season with an early brace (11th/14th). The second goal of the evening was particularly eye-catching. The Argentine took courage and put the ball directly into the corner from the second row.

The second reason for the Bianconeri's renewed setback was their lackluster performance. The Turin team kept dwelling on small things, and their attention was more often focused on the referee than on the game. Paulo Dybala was the only glimmer of hope for long periods, but the Argentina international was unlucky in numerous situations.

Substitute Weston McKennie's goal marked the start of a heated final phase (80'). The American breathed new life into the record champions. The pressure phase revealed some great opportunities. Hellas keeper Lorenzo Montipo held on to the deserved victory thanks to several brilliant saves. Immobile draws level with Piola In the first game of the day, Atalanta showed nerves of steel. In the 2-2 draw against their direct table neighbors from Rome, both goals came in stoppage time in each half. Lazio initially took the lead through Pedro, who had been playing well lately (18'), and Zapata finally responded shortly before the half-time whistle (45'+1).

In the 74th minute, top striker Ciro Immobile put the Biancocelesti in front again. The goal was also his 159th goal for the capital club, which brought him level with previous leader Silvio Piola in the club's all-time top scorer list. But Marten de Roon spoiled the visitors' victory celebrations and equalized in the fourth minute of injury time, securing a point for Atalanta. This means that both clubs are standing still in the table and could lose touch with the top 4 if their competition wins.
