😱 Verona stun Juve: 1-1! Vlahovic magic, Champions League race on
Incredible scenes at the Allianz Stadium: Juventus, who had a real golden opportunity to boost their Champions League hopes, were held by already-relegated Verona. A stunning blow, with Bowie opening the scoring and Vlahovic finding the equalizer in the second half from a free kick to make it 1-1. Then Montipò took center stage, first denying Conceição twice, then getting a touch on Zhegrova's shot onto the post.

❌ Zhegrova hits the post at the death
Juventus' late push comes up against Verona's wall: in the 92nd minute, Zhegrova made a solo run and drilled a shot toward the near post, but the ball crashed against the woodwork after a touch from Montipò.
🔥 Vlahovic levels it: goal from a free kick
MINUTE 61- A completely different Juventus with Dusan Vlahovic on the pitch, and just after the hour mark the Bianconeri equalize. A free kick from the edge of the box that the Serbian strikes hard toward Montipò's side, catching the Verona keeper out. The Allianz is rocking, and the former Fiorentina man has found the net again for the first time since November 4.
Luciano Spalletti wastes no time and turns to Dusan Vlahovic at the start of the second half. Off goes Khephren Thuram, with Juve switching to a two-striker setup with the Serbian and David
🧨 Bowie breaks the deadlock: what a mistake by Bremer
MINUTE 34- Juventus, after a first half of heavy pressure, fall behind. A sloppy mistake by Bremer in the build-up and Hellas recover the ball high up the pitch. A cross into the box for Bowie, who like a poacher strikes from close range, with Di Gregorio trying with his foot but unable to keep it out. Incredible at the Allianz.
Boos from the Allianz at halftime.
⏰ Juve threaten: Conceição tries. Bremer hits the bar

MINUTE 15 -Juve's first real chance: Yildiz comes alive and finds Thuram, the ball pops up and reaches Conceição, who controls and smashes a shot toward the near post, but Montipò gets down quickly and holds the Portuguese's effort, once again one of the liveliest players on the pitch.
🗣️ Spalletti's words
Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti spoke to DAZN before the match against Verona.
"We try to focus more on the performance than just the results and on everything that comes at you in certain moments, and it becomes crucial to analyze what we have been. David? He is special in terms of his willingness and he is fully part of the group. He knows how to score, he knows how to burst forward. There are still things to sort out but he has acceleration, technique and stamina, as well as the ability to link up with the team. I'm convinced he'll put in another great performance. Yildiz? It's true, we forget he is only 21 because he is mature in what he does and what he says."
