Juventus had to fight back to secure a 2-2 draw against Parma at the Allianz Stadium, with the Bianconeri showing resilience after trailing twice in the match.
The match began with Juventus looking to build on their recent thrilling 4-4 draw against Inter Milan. However, they faced challenges with several players sidelined due to injuries, including Kenan Yildiz, who remained on the bench despite his impressive performance in the previous game.
Parma took an early lead when Delprato headed in from a well-executed corner, putting pressure on Juventus. The home side had a chance to equalize shortly after but missed a golden opportunity when Dusan Vlahovic failed to convert a rebound from close range.
Juventus finally found their footing when Weston McKennie scored with a header from a Timothy Weah cross, leveling the score. However, Parma quickly regained the advantage through Simon Sohm, who capitalized on a defensive lapse.
After halftime, Juventus responded again, with Weah volleying in another goal from a Francisco Conceicao cross. The match remained intense as both teams sought to take control, but neither could find the decisive goal.
In the closing moments, Juventus believed they had secured victory when Kenan Yildiz’s follow-up shot was cleared off the line by Delprato, preserving the draw for Parma.
The result leaves Juventus frustrated as they continue their pursuit of league leaders while Parma can take pride in their resilient performance against one of Serie A’s top teams.
