Juventus
Outstanding performance
Cagliari•GoalkeeperJuventus dominated every statistical category - 72% possession, 22 shots to 4, and 117 dangerous attacks to Cagliari's 8 - yet found themselves behind for over an hour after Daniel Maldini punished a rare lapse on the counter-attack in the 20th minute. Elia Caprile was the difference-maker for long stretches, racking up 9 saves to keep Cagliari's lead intact as wave after wave of Juventus pressure crashed against a resolute defense. The equalizer finally came in the 81st minute when substitute Kerim Alajbegovic's cross found Randal Kolo Muani, who headed home from close range to salvage a point Juventus's performance arguably deserved. The match ended in chaos as both Cagliari boss Fabio Pisacane and Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti were sent off in the final minute for an argument, capping a frustrating night for the visitors who managed just a draw despite total control of the game.
