Kolo Muani Rescues Juventus with Late Equaliser Against Cagliari

Juventus were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Cagliari in the sixth round of Serie A, as Randal Kolo Muani scored a late equaliser at the Unipol Domus stadium.

The hosts took the lead in the 20th minute through Daniel Maldini, who collected a pass from Pате Mendy before beating Guglielmo Vicario with a left-footed finish. Juventus enjoyed more possession in the first half but struggled to create clear-cut chances against a well-organised Cagliari defence.

After the break, Luciano Spalletti’s side increased the pressure. Substitute Edon Zhegrova caused problems for Cagliari’s defence on several occasions, but goalkeeper Elia Caprile made important saves to preserve his team’s advantage.

Juventus finally found their breakthrough in the 81st minute. Kolo Muani rose to meet an excellent cross from Kerim Alajbegovic and headed the ball into the net to make it 1-1.

The French forward nearly completed the comeback just four minutes later, but his second header struck the crossbar.

Juventus continued searching for a winner until the final whistle, but Cagliari held firm to claim a valuable point against one of Italy’s traditional top sides. The hosts also showed their threat on the counterattack, making life difficult for the visitors throughout the match.
