Stuttgart give Juventus the first defeat of this season thus ending their streak.
It was in the second additional minute, substitute El Bilal Toure scored to give his team the lead with a precise strike after skillfully maneuvering around a defender. This goal was enough to end Juventus’ flawless beginning. Although the winning goal came late, it was well-deserved.
Earlier, the visitors had a goal by Deniz Undav disallowed due to controversy over his handling of the ball in the build-up. In the 85th minute, they were awarded a penalty when Danilo fouled Anthony Rouault with a high boot, resulting in the Brazilian receiving his second yellow card. Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin expertly saved Enzo Millot’s penalty kick with a dive to his right, denying what seemed to be a sure goal at that point.
Despite this late turn of events, Stuttgart has now earned four points from three league matches, starting with a loss and a draw. Juventus’ poor performance was duly punished, as their hopes of maintaining a winning streak for three games were shattered.
Next up for Stuttgart is a home match against Atalanta on November 6, while Juventus will face Lille a day earlier.
