In their first match following the departure of Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus displayed resilience by rallying from a 3-0 deficit to secure a 3-3 draw against Bologna in Serie A on Monday.
Allegri's dismissal came in the aftermath of his criticism of referees during Juventus' victory in the Italian Cup final. Pablo Montero, the Under-19 coach, assumed interim managerial duties for Juve's final two fixtures.
Despite both teams having already secured qualification for the next season's Champions League, Bologna and Juventus exhibited a competitive edge throughout the encounter.
Riccardo Calafiori's brace propelled Bologna to a commanding 3-0 lead, tantalizingly close to securing their first home victory over Juventus in 26 years.
Juventus initiated their comeback with 14 minutes remaining in regulation time, as Federico Chiesa found the net. Arkadiusz Milik swiftly followed with a goal from a free kick, before Kenan Yildiz, Juventus' promising 19-year-old forward, secured the equalizer.
Yildiz, enjoying a breakthrough season, marked his Juventus debut by becoming the club's youngest foreign scorer. His impressive form extended to the international stage, as he debuted and scored for Turkey in the European Championship qualifiers.
Elsewhere, Verona secured their Serie A status for another season with a 2-1 victory over Salernitana. Marco Baroni's side now holds a four-point cushion above the relegation zone with one match remaining.
With Salernitana and Sassuolo already relegated, Verona's win intensifies the relegation battle among Udinese, Empoli, Frosinone, and Cagliari.
Verona's timely triumph, their third in five matches, sets the stage for a challenging final fixture against reigning champions Inter Milan, who have suffered just two defeats all season.
Tomas Suslov opened the scoring for Verona with his second league goal, while Michael Folorunsho doubled the lead just before halftime. Giulio Maggiore notched a consolation goal for Salernitana in the dying moments of the match.
