Rete-goal: it's 1-1 with Juventus!
All square in the MD19 rescheduling
Honours even in Bergamo as the 2024-2025 Serie A Enilive MD19 rescheduling culminates in a 1-1 draw at the end of a nail-biting contest, with golden-sub Retegui swooping in to pull Atalanta level.
The match got off to neck-and-neck start, with the first Atalanta attempt coming on 25 minutes through Lookman, who triggered De Gregorio's response, before Juventus snapped back on the brink of halftime first with Nico Gonzalez's shot and then through a Koopmeiners brush on an angled cross, both muted by a well-alert Carnesecchi.
No holds were barred in the opening of the second half, though: while the post denied Kalulu's header and then Carnesecchi cleared the visiting effort with a goal-line save on 50 minutes, Pašalić grazed the far post in the following overthrow. Despite the visitors taking the lead in the 54th with Kalulu, the black-and-blue reaction was not long in coming as Éderson challenged Di Gregorio a handful of minutes later. In the 60th the Nerazzurri neared the equalizer as Lookman was cleared off the line. Atalanta nonetheless kept up the heat as Éderson's bolt flew over the crossbar. The black-and-blue equalizer eventually came on 78 minutes: Bellanova brushed the ball goalward for Retegui, who slammed the ball under the roof of the net with a diving finish to level the scores in Bergamo. Atalanta almost overturned the game in the 84th: upon dashing through the right flank and cutting through the middle, Zaniolo shot on target in the mano-a-mano with Di Gregorio, who performed a hockey save to deny our no.10
