0

Bianconeri were losing by two goals and salvaged a point in stoppage time.

Juventus recovered from a two-goal deficit on Sunday to draw 2-2 at home against Lazio in a match of the 24th round of Serie A.

With Francisco Conceiçoo on the Juventus bench and Nuno Tavares in the starting lineup for Lazio, the match began in favor of the Romans, with the veteran Pedro, 38, opening the scoring in first-half stoppage time (45m+2). Lazio started  the second half better again, and Isaksen extended their lead in the 47th minute.

Juventus’ reaction came close to the hour mark when McKennie reduced the deficit, giving the hosts new life. Their late surge would eventually pay off in stoppage time, with Frenchman Kalulu making it 2-2 in the 90+6 minute, rescuing a point at the last gasp.

With this draw, Juventus remains in fourth place with 46 points, and could still be overtaken by Roma if they beat Cagliari. Lazio remains in eighth place with 33 points, a result that also leaves the Bianconeri further away from the podium in a Serie A led by Inter Milan.
