Como capitalised on a string of costly Juventus mistakes to secure a shock 2-0 victory in Turin, plunging the Bianconeri further into crisis. The defeat leaves Juventus reeling after consecutive setbacks and tightens the race for European places, with Como now just a point behind fifth.
Heading into the weekend, only four points separated fifth from sixth in Serie A, increasing the stakes at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus were already under pressure following defeats to Inter and Galatasaray, while injuries and suspensions further weakened their squad. Pierre Kalulu was suspended, Gleison Bremer, Emil Holm, Dusan Vlahovic and Arek Milik were sidelined, and Jonathan David was not fully fit.
Como also had their absentees, with Nico Paz suspended and Assane Diao and Edoardo Goldaniga out long term. However, Alvaro Morata returned from suspension, giving the visitors a timely boost as they looked to spring an upset.
Juventus debuted a special edition retro fourth kit featuring horizontal black and white stripes, but the fresh look did little to inspire confidence on the pitch. Jean Butez made an early save to deny Kenan Yildiz, yet it was Como who struck first after a catalogue of errors from the hosts.
Weston McKennie’s misplaced pass in midfield began the sequence, and Mergim Vojvoda took full advantage by cutting inside Teun Koopmeiners and unleashing a shot that squirmed past Michele Di Gregorio at the near post. Even with a slight deflection, it was a glaring mistake from the goalkeeper. Remarkably, it marked the 13th time this season that Juventus had conceded from the first shot on target they faced.
Juventus wobbled again soon after. A poor back-pass from Koopmeiners nearly gifted Como a second when Di Gregorio struggled under pressure, allowing Lucas Da Cunha’s chip to strike the crossbar with the goal gaping. Additional efforts from Alex Valle and Tasos Douvikas underlined Como’s growing confidence.
Ultimately, Como’s composure and Juventus’ defensive frailties defined the night. The visitors left Turin with a famous victory, while the Old Lady were left searching for answers as their season threatens to unravel further.
