Overview

  • The draw ends Juventus’ perfect Serie A start but keeps them unbeaten on 10 points, provisionally top of the table.
  • Francisco Conceicao struck in the 19th minute before Gift Orban equalised from a handball penalty, and a Suat Serdar header was later ruled out for offside after VAR review.
  • Igor Tudor blasted the officiating, calling the penalty “shameful” and saying Orban should have been sent off for an elbow on Federico Gatti.
  • Players and coach pointed to heavy legs after a 4-3 win over Inter and a 4-4 Champions League draw with Dortmund earlier in the week.
  • Reports say defender Gleison Bremer suffered a possible muscular issue during a post-match warm-down, with further assessment pending.
