Vlahovic and Rugani rescue Juventus from Frosinone upset

Juventus ended their four-match winless streak with a dramatic 3-2 victory over struggling Frosinone courtesy of a brace from Dusan Vlahovic, and Daniele Rugani’s last-minute winner.

The encounter kicked off with Weston McKennie’s setting up Vlahovic for the match opener just in the third minute, before Frosinone fought back fiercely, equalizing through Walid Cheddira’s well-timed header 11 minutes later.

Marco Brescianini then stunned Juventus with a sensational strike, giving the underdogs a surprising lead in the 27th minute.

Amidst the tension, Juventus suffered a setback as captain Adrien Rabiot was forced off with an injury, making way for Carlos Alcaraz.

Yet, the Old Lady rallied, with Vlahovic once again finding the net, courtesy of McKennie’s precision pass, making it their second goal contribution in the game.

Despite numerous opportunities for both sides after the break, the game remained keenly contested, as both sides valiantly searched for the match winner.

Juventus’ Massimiliano Allegri intensified efforts by introducing fresh legs in Kenan Yıldız and Timothy Weah in the 62nd.

However, it was the late substitutions of Kaio Jorge and Enzo Barrenecha that set the stage for a dramatic finale. At the death, Vlahovic’s header found Daniele Rugani, whose composed finish secured the maximum points for the Bianconeri.

This dramatic turnaround not only ends Juventus’ winless streak but also reaffirms their resilience in the Serie A title race, as they close on table toppers Inter Milan who’re six points clear on the log, with two games in hand.
