Juventus Held by Atalanta as Cabal’s Late Strike Rescues Draw

The result sharpens scrutiny of Igor Tudor’s striker hierarchy after Jonathan David remained unused.

Overview

  • Juventus drew 1-1 with Atalanta after conceding first and leveling late in Bergamo.
  • Coach Igor Tudor said he wanted to use his final substitution for Jonathan David but chose Cabal due to Bremer’s fatigue, and Cabal scored the equaliser.
  • David, signed in the summer to lead the line, has slipped down the order and has played only 91 of Juventus’s last 360 competitive minutes.
  • The late-window arrival of Loïs Openda and Dusan Vlahovic’s scoring impact off the bench have reshaped Tudor’s attacking choices and reduced David’s role.
  • Analysts describe a team still without a clear attacking identity, solid on counters but predictable and vulnerable when trying to build wide.
