ROME, April 17: A spectacular overhead kick from Álvaro Morata led to a stoppage-time score for Juventus to draw with nine-man Bologna 1-1 in Serie A on Saturday.
Morata’s acrobatic effort was going wide until Dušan Vlahović met it with a header at the far post that found the target to salvage a point for the Bianconeri. They’d been denied a penalty in a disputed VAR decision moments earlier.
Juventus are fourth, moving within three points of third-placed Napoli, which hosts Roma on Monday.
Marko Arnautović put Bologna ahead after the break by running onto a through ball from Roberto Soriano and rounding the goalkeeper to deposit the ball into an empty net.
Morata thought he earned Juventus a late penalty when he appeared to be fouled inside the area by Adama Soumaoro but no penalty was awarded. Soumaoro was issued a red card after the VAR for dissent. In the ensuing protests by Bologna, Gary Medel was also sent off – leaving the visitors with nine men. Vlahović then notched his 22nd goal this season.
Elseweher, Fiorentina edged visiting Venezia 1-0 with a goal from Lucas Torreira to move up to sixth place and a potential spot in Europe. The Viola have won three straight, six of their last eight, and are unbeaten in six consecutive matches. (AP)
