Match Report
Juventus were left frustrated at the Allianz Stadium after being held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Sassuolo side ravaged by a whooping cough outbreak. Kenan Yildiz opened the scoring on 14 minutes with his 10th Serie A goal of the season, finishing smartly after a slick assist from Conceicao.
Sassuolo hit back seven minutes into the second half when Andrea Pinamonti pounced on a low cross from Berardi, with Volpato starting the move down the right. The visitors then dug in, with goalkeeper Muric producing a stunning save to deny Boga from point-blank range on 72 minutes.
The drama peaked late on when VAR spotted a handball and awarded Juventus a penalty in the 87th minute. Locatelli stepped up but sent a tame effort straight at Muric, who smothered it comfortably. It was a miss that summed up the Old Lady's night.
The draw is a damaging result for Juventus in the Champions League race, while Sassuolo — missing several players to illness — will feel like they stole a point from the fire under Fabio Grosso.
