Despite Ronaldo's goal: Juve loses in Verona

The defending champions lost 1-2 at Hellas Verona on Saturday despite being ahead and suffered their second defeat in their last three games. Pursuer Inter can therefore replace the series champions in first place with a derby win against AC Milan on Sunday.

Before the break, Verona was unlucky that a goal from Marash Kumbulla (21st) on his 20th birthday was disallowed for narrow offside after video study. This allowed Juve to advance, and once again the focus was on Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese initiated the goal himself (65th) and scored in the 10th game in a row. The 35-year-old scored 15 of his 20 goals this season so far. In the league, only Lazio's Ciro Immobile (25) has a better rate.

Fabio Borini (76'), on loan from AC Milan, and Giampaolo Pazzini (86'/penalty) turned the game around after a Bonucci handball in the penalty area. Verona is now undefeated for 8 games and has moved up to 6th place for the time being.
