If Ronaldo Didn’t Waste A Penalty Chance, Juventus Would Win Over Atalanta

JAKARTA – Cristiano Ronaldo has to deal with his penalty kick being thwarted by the atalanta goalkeeper when Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw in an entertaining Serie A match in Turin on Thursday morning.

A superb strike from Federico Chiesa put the Italian champions ahead in the first half, but Remo Freuler, who threw a ball against the bar, eventually equalized to provide a vital point after half-time.

Ronaldo wasted a golden opportunity to double the hosts’ lead after his penalty was defused by an Impressive Pierluigi Gollini.

Andrea Pirlo’s team are now third with 24 points, six points ahead of eighth Atalanta.

Although Juve remain unbeaten this season, they have shot in half of their 12 league games so far.

“You have to bring the results of these matches,” Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo told Sky Italia as quoted by Reuters’ Antara.

“We created a lot of chances, but we failed to achieve them. “

Alvaro Morata missed a good opportunity early on when the Juve striker took advantage of a loose six-yard ball past an open goal and made a wide finish of the opponent’s goal.

The goalkeepers of both teams determine this match. Gollini made two excellent saves when he snatched the shot from Morata in the second half, while Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny blocked dangerous attempts from Duvan Zapata, Cristian Romero and substitute Alejandro Gomez.

“Gollini was amazing,” said Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini. “He saved Ronaldo’s penalty, which was just a one-hundredth chance of missing. »

Speculation over the possibility of Captain Atalanta Gomez’s departure due to a dispute with Gasperini has eclipsed the appearance of visitors. The Argentinian did not appear in the win against Fiorentina and was on the bench against Juve in Turin.

But the playmaker had an immediate impact upon his introduction at the start of the second half.

He helped out on several occasions, besides creating his own chances.
