According to Corsport, Juventus came close to a loss against Lazio, with the headline playing on the name “Vecino” (meaning `neighbor` and sounding like `vicino`, meaning `close`). This direct confrontation for a Champions League spot concluded in a draw, leaving the qualification race completely open. Stefano Pioli`s team remains in fourth place, while Baroni`s side is still very much in contention.
The match saw Randal Kolo Muani break the deadlock early in the second half. However, a red card shown to Pierre Kalulu significantly altered the dynamics of the game. Lazio then launched a determined assault, with Boulaye Dia hitting the post. Ultimately, it was the Uruguayan player, Matias Vecino, who secured the crucial equalizer in the dramatic 96th minute, ensuring the points were shared.
