Bologna 3-3 Juventus: Hosts throw away three-goal lead as Juve claim unlikely draw in Serie A - Eurosport

Juventus are still in the running for third place in the Serie A, as they made a remarkable comeback after being three goals down against Bologna, managing to secure a 3-3 draw at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium.

Thiago Motta's team, the Rossoblu, started very strong and managed to score two goals in just 11 minutes. The first goal was scored by Riccardo Calafiori, and the second was scored by Santiago Castro, who was making his full debut.

After the break, the guests displayed some level of determination, but sadly, it did not last long as they conceded another goal in the 53rd minute. This time, it was Calafiori who brilliantly rounded off a daring attack with a delightful, chipped shot, which happened to be his second goal of the night.

It looked like Juventus was going to suffer a big defeat, but in a surprising turn of events, they managed to score three goals in just eight minutes. Federico Chiesa and substitutes Arkadiusz Milik and Kenan Yildiz were the heroes of the match and helped Juventus avoid a loss.

The outcome indicates that Bologna is still in the third position, with only one game to go, outranking Juventus in fourth place by their goal difference.

The amazing season of Bologna will soon come to a close as they play their final game against Genoa on Sunday. This season has been particularly memorable as they qualified for the prestigious UEFA Champions League for only the second time in their team's history. Meanwhile, Juventus will be hosting Monza in their own match.

Did Motta Nail An Audition?

Bologna gave an impressive performance for 70 minutes in their match against Juventus, showcasing why they have been a surprising team in Serie A this season. The team outplayed Juventus, which seemed to be uninspired during the game. This game was evidence of Thiago Motta's impressive coaching skills that have gained recognition throughout the coaching world.

It's true that he's been rumored to be in contention for the open position as head coach of Juventus, and some viewed his recent match as a potential tryout for the role. In many respects, he performed exceptionally well, but his decision to make critical player substitutions late in the game ended up hurting him. This could serve as a valuable lesson for both him and his team, especially with UEFA Champions League football just around the corner next season, as it underscores the importance of not giving elite opponents any room to maneuver.

The recent game deprived The Rossoblu of obtaining their first victory against The Bianconeri since the year 2011. This also implies that Juve avoided facing more challenging news headlines. However, their performance indicates that they have only managed to win a single game in their last 16 Serie A matches.

Star Of The Match: Riccardo Calafiori

The young adult rewarded himself for his birthday with an impressive performance on the weekend, scoring two goals. This demonstrates his rise as one of the top centre-backs in the league, as he embodies the style influenced by Motta which involves both strong defense and skillful offensive contributions. Despite being substituted at the 70-minute mark, he was not responsible for the team's eventual loss. Had he still been playing, the outcome of the match may have been different.

In Bologna's recent match, Skorupski earned a rating of 6, while Kristiansen also received a 6. Posch played well and earned a 7, as did Calafiori who received an 8 for his performance. Ndoye and Aebischer both earned 7, while Freuler and Urbanski earned a 6. Odgaard and Castro both performed well and scored a 7. The substitutes, Saelemaekers, Fabbian, Orsolini, Beukema, and El Azzouzi, all earned ratings ranging from 5 to 6.

Juventus played a game and had a team of players. Szczesny got a rating of 6, Gatti got 5, Bremer got 5, Danilo got 5, Cambiaso got 5, Miretti got 5, Locatelli got 6, Rabiot got 6, Iling-Junior got 5, Vlahovic got 5, and Chiesa got 7. There were also substitutes: Alcaraz got 5, Weah got 5, Yildiz got 7, Milik got 7, and Fagioli got 5.

In the second minute of the game, Bologna scores a goal against Juventus. Calafiori scores the goal by shooting the ball high into the net after Juventus failed to clear a corner from the right wing. This gives Bologna a great start to the game.

At the 11-minute mark, Bologna scored a goal against Juventus, bringing the score to 2-0. Santiago Castro was the scorer, having become airborne to meet Ndoye's tricky left-wing cross before sending a powerful header past Szczesny.

At the 53rd minute mark, Bologna scored their third goal against Juventus. This time, it was their centre back, Calafiori, who scored the goal. He suddenly appeared on the field and quickly took control of the ball. With a beautiful and skillful finish, he scores for his team, leaving the keeper helpless.

In the 76th minute, there was a goal in the match between Bologna and Juventus! Chiesa scored for Bologna, making the score 3-1. Lucumí was feeling too sure of himself and made a mistake, which allowed Chiesa to steal the ball and take a shot that went past Skorupski and into the goal.

In the 83rd minute of the game, there was a goal! Bologna scored and it is now 3-2 against Juventus. Milik did an amazing 25-yard free kick that went into the top corner, and it was slightly deflected by the wall. It looks like the match is not over yet!

In the 84th minute, there was a goal scored in the match between Bologna and Juventus. The scorer was Yildiz and it resulted in the score being tied at 3-3.
