Mbangula rescued Juventus from their first defeat in Serie A season
Juventus snatched a point in a tough match against Bologna, which saw them lose their head coach and being down by two goals. Tiago Motta received a straight red card for arguing with the referee, as his side conceded once in each half after strikes from Ndoye and Pobega.
Juve were given hope after Koopmeiners' goal lead and 20-year-old Samuel Mbangula secured a draw for his team with a beautiful into the far corner of the net in the second added minute of the game - 2-2.
It should be noted that this is already the ninth draw for Motta's team this season. Juventus have never lost in Serie A 2024/25, but are only in sixth place in the standings.
