Super striker scor-GoalGuruPost-PandaTV

(Football result) - Juventus once again failed to secure a win, drawing 1-1 with Sporting CP on home ground, prolonging their winless run in the Champions League even though Dusan Vlahovic found the net.

Juventus extended their Champions League winless streak after a 1-1 draw with Sporting CP at home, in a match where Luciano Spalletti’s squad still showed a lack of sharpness during crucial moments.

Entering the match determined to claim their first European victory this season, Juventus fielded their strongest lineup, featuring Dusan Vlahovic leading the attack.

However, the home team’s confidence was quickly dampened. In the 12th minute, from a swift attack down the left flank, Maxi Araujo fired a low, precise shot that hit the post before going into the net, putting Sporting ahead. Juventus’s defense appeared slow to close the angle, allowing Araujo too much space to shoot.

Two minutes later, the visitors nearly doubled their lead when Trincao’s shot deflected off a Juventus defender and struck the crossbar. This moment startled the home fans and forced Juventus to adjust their tactics. After initial shock, the black-and-white striped team gradually regained control of the game.

Juventus’s main threat was Dusan Vlahovic, who is under pressure with only a few months left on his contract and a dip in goal-scoring form. In the 28th minute, the Serbian striker tried his luck with a long-range shot, forcing goalkeeper Rui Silva to make an excellent save.

By the 34th minute, he finally found joy again by charging in to finish accurately following a precise cross from Khephren Thuram, leveling the score at 1-1 for Juventus. This was Vlahovic’s first goal from open play after 10 consecutive matches without scoring, providing a significant morale boost for both him and the team.

In the second half, the game became more balanced. Juventus increased their pressure hoping to secure all three points, but their final combinations still lacked precision.

With this draw, Juventus extended their winless streak to five consecutive Champions League matches, their worst record since 2013. Under Spalletti, the “Old Lady” is still rebuilding and seeking consistency, but inefficiency in attack and lapses in defense remain major issues.

After four rounds, Juventus have only 3 points from 3 draws, currently sitting third in the group. Meanwhile, Sporting CP maintains impressive form with 7 points. Juventus will need significant improvement if they want to avoid an early exit from this season’s Champions League.
