Thiago Motta took over Juventus before the current season. The Turin team has been doing well so far this season. After three rounds, they have seven points and have not conceded a goal yet. They had another chance to win on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. That day they faced Empoli away, who are doing surprisingly well in Serie A and have not lost a match yet.
Juventus' weak performance. Only a draw with Empoli
Juventus had the upper hand from the start of the match. Motta's players had more possession of the ball, but nothing came of it for a long time. In the 36th minute, Federico Gatti had a great chance to score a goal. The defender headed a cross, but his shot was brilliantly saved by Devis Vasquez. Nothing more happened before the break.
Just after the start of the second half, Juventus came to the fore again. In the 50th minute, Vasquez made a great save to save Vlahovic's shot. A moment later, the Colombian made another save, this time after a shot by Teun Koopmeiners. Empoli did not stand idle and also responded with individual actions that could have ended with a goal. Especially the situation in the 94th minute, when Emmanuel Gyasi's shot was blocked at the last moment by Gatti.
In the end, the score remained unchanged and Juventus drew 0-0 at Empoli. This is a big setback for Thiago Motta's team, who also recently dropped points against AS Roma. They are currently top of the table, but have played a game more than most teams. Empoli, on the other hand, continue their successful streak and are in seventh place.
Empoli 0-0 Juventus
Juventus will play their next league match on Saturday, September 21st, when they will host Napoli. The day before, Empoli will play Cagliari.
