Turin, Oct. 22 (LaPresse) – Juventus drew 2-2 at home against Rennes in the third matchday of the Europa League league phase, taking their points tally to 7. The French side moved up to 5 points. It was a topsy-turvy match that was difficult to interpret, with the hosts taking the lead after just five minutes through Celik, assisted by Woltemade, before Rennes came back with goals from Al-Taamari in the 15th minute, with a close-range finish inside the box after a knockdown by Reynolds, and Dia’s penalty in the 42nd minute following a handball by Douglas Luiz. In the second half, Juventus responded and again levelled the score from the penalty spot, with Woltemade converting in the 22nd minute after a foul by Reynolds. In the closing stages, Juve pushed for a winner, which Lucumi appeared to score in a scramble, but the referee ruled it out for offside, leaving the Bianconeri with further regrets.
